I don't usually write reviews and feedbacks but this place is worth the effort to. Went there last night for the 3rd time, and it was the only time I was in a long queue but their ice creams are worth queueing for. Hands down the best ice cream in Melbourne. Customer service was good, not the best but understandable considering they're crazy busy! Love. Love. Love.

I couldn’t believe I was queuing for an ice-cream....but it was a waffle cone straight from gelato heaven

The wait in the 20 minute queue was definitely worth the frozen treats at Pidapipo.
This icecream shop is a Melbourne favourite in the busy night. Expect a 20minute to 1hr wait, it’s totally normal.
They sell a variety of flavours, from your traditional vanilla or chocolate icecream whcih they do so well, to their exotic and fun flavours. They also release some limited flavours which are always great to try.
This time I decided to be adventurous and try the banana milk. Very interesting but I’m sorry, banana milk or banana doesn’t belong in icecream. Definitely did enjoy it more than an average banana with their sweet form though!
The nutella swirl was to die for, and I highly recommend it, given it is one of the popular kids on the street. Coffee icecream was just as yummy. Lemon sorbet was very interesting and surprisingly addicting to eat to cut through the heavy icecream flavours of nutella.
Would love to come back and try their other fun flavours!

I’ve never had the patience to join the queue for this place but there was only a couple waiting (being a cold and miserable Melbourne night), so we lined up. We had a salted caramel cone and the vanilla bean honeycomb cone. Both were amazing. The texture was the closest to anything from Italy and the flavour was creamy and rich. I can definitely see why people are always lining up. Would definitely return!
😱Lizzie’s first impression: Love how consistent this place is, it's always good quality icecream and plenty of flavours to choose from.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I love the texture of the ice cream or sorbet - it’s smooth and has very good flavours. I particularly like the pistachio, the rose as strawberry sorbet and the passion fruit sorbet! I try a new flavour everytime I come by here and it's always delicious.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the wait times are usually longer especially after dinner time but it's always just 10-15 minutes wait max.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: would come back time and time again! You can even buy a bucket for takeaway!
Best gelato in Melbourne 🍦 Their gelatos are just heaven, savoured many flavours over the years 💯 I believe the ice cream with the Nutella in the middle is called ‘Nutella swirl’. Would frequently visit this outlet after dinner on Lygon St but I’ve since migrated to the outlet on Flinders Ln as it is more convenience being in the CBD.
There is the best gelato of pistachio flavor!!!! Once I had a pistachio, I always order 2 scoops, the flavor and new flavor. There isn’t have much space to sit down. But definitely one of the best place to grab sweet in chapel street!
I've eaten a lot ice creams, even the master chef messina ice cream. But the ice cream texture and quality of Pidapipo is outstanding.
I remember coming here a few years back and to this day the only thing that’s changed is the increased of people coming here and new flavours.
Went here to my cousin to have some delicious ice cream after dinner. We got the hazelnut and strawberry & cream.
The flavours were so intense and it DID NOT disappoint, we ordered one scoop each and I forgot how much a scoop is at this joint. Honestly worth the $4.80 because in the end I was craving for more.
There’s always a line but it’s worth the wait!
My favourite gelato place in Melbourne! The gelato is soooo creamy but is not overly sweet. I love that you are able to taste the actual ingredients of the gelato instead of artificial tastes! Both the milk and non milk varieties are incredible but the pistachio is a must try!
The place is well decorated with seats inside and outside. There is a variety of flavours to choose from with vegan sorbet options and additional toppings such as whipped cream and hot Nutella. If you come here, you get more bang for your buck if you get more than one scoop but if not, they completely fill up the cup.
I got peanut butter and bacio with hot Nutella, bacio has to be one of the best gelatos I've ever tried in my life.
Best gelato in Melbourne, always so delicious and the texture is to die for. I'm not a huge mint fan but I loved the white choc and mint flavour as well as pistachio!
Gelatos are absolute yum! Had watermelon, mojito (non alcoholic) and mango.
We also had dairy range flavours - peanut butter, Nutella and pistachio. They were nice too but a bit too creamy and milky.
Recommend the sorbet range more
Hands down the best gelato icecream in Melbourne. Super yummy. Incredible flavors. I had Bacio. Loved it! ❤ Will be back for more many times over!
When in Melbourne it's important to always pay a visit into your nearest pidapipo branch for some quality ice cream. With dairy and dairy free options there'll be a flavor to meet anyone's taste. Staff on today were flat out busy, hard working and never complained. Great experience for all their customers.

Awesome gelato! Great prices too, which honestly explains why there is always a line. One of our scoopers were very generous, other not so much which explains the inconsistency in size. Price difference between 1 scoop and 2 scoops is only $1!
🍦 Yoghurt and Fig + Mascarpone and Berries ($6.80) - The dried figs used were so sweet in my opinion, do which the yoghurt was more sour so it offsets the sweet figs. Otherwise, it’s a great flavour! Mascarpone and berries flavour was my favourite! Tasted just like eating cheesecake.
🍦 Banana Milk + Pistachio ($6.80) - Banana milk gelato teas very interesting, thought it would taste more like the artificial flavouring you get in supermarket bought Banana Milk, but no! Be prepared for a very natural banana flavour and scent - which was so beautiful and the sweetness was perfect. The pistachio flavour was slightly underwhelming, think it could’ve been stronger.
🍨 Watermelon + Strawberry (vegan, $6.80) - Strawberry was sour but you can tell that it is made from real strawberries, not flavouring. Watermelon was very nice and refreshing, loved both!
🍨 Peanut butter, caramel chocolate and malt crumble + Mint with white chocolate chips - both flavours were really nice! Peanut butter flavour was really good and i do appreciate that it wasn’t subtle. Never had mint with white choc chips, it’s always dark or milk but it was great with white chocolate chips!
🍨 Coffee & Brownie + Salted Caramel with Brownie and Spiced Caramel ($6.80) - love that both flavours were not overly sweet, especially with the salted caramel! Some places can execute their salted caramel to be mind numbingly sweet but not Pidapipo! It was so pleasant and easy to eat. The coffee & brownie flavour is a must try! Super strong coffee flavour and went so well with the chunks of brownies, so impressed!
🍨 Pistachio + Peanut butter, caramel chocolate and malt crumble ($6.80) - Pistachio flavour could be stronger, peanut butter was nice, not too sweet.
🍨 Hazelnut + Burnt Butter & Hot Cross Bun ($6.80) - Hazelnut flavour was okay, nothing crazy. Didn’t enjoy the burnt butter bits that much because it was super sticky and stuck to teeth, hot cross bun flavour was a bit overwhelming.
