Pidapipo is an Australian gelateria in the suburb of Carlton in Melbourne, Victoria.[1][2][3][4][5]
It is a 'micro-chain', with four locations in Melbourne, including one flagship store.[1][3]
The design of the building has been described by the Financial Times as 'ebullient'. It has neon lights, and pink terrazzo floors. One of the store's most popular products is the nutella swirl. Some of the other gelato flavours are made with Australian cheeses and honeys.[3][1]
The Carlton store sticks to serving gelato, which is made daily on-site.[6] The Fitzroy store also serves desserts incorporating chocolate made at that store. The chocolate uses cacao imported from the Dominican Republic.[1]
The Fitzroy store has a kitchen visible through three large windows, where passers-by can see chocolate being a made in a mirrored room. The location's stainless steel, glass, and electronic menu have been described as giving the location a 'lab feel'.[1]
