Pidapipó Laboratorio Fitzroy

Skip the standard dessert run. Pidapipó Laboratorio on Brunswick Street is the actual move. Proper vero gelato artigianale—mastering that ultra-dense mantecazione for an impossibly smooth texture. Those with uncompromising dessert standards prioritize the flawless Fior di Latte or a superlative pistachio that hits every rich, roasted note. But the real flex? The wildly inventive monthly drops. Think zesty lemon cream laced with buttery shortcrust and poppy seeds, or bold Korean-inspired spins like mugwort and watermelon makgeolli. Grab a massive coppa of the peanut butter with miso caramel. Total knockout. Melbourne’s most demanding sweet-tooths treat this Fitzroy fixture as an absolute non-negotiable for a late-night hit of la dolce vita.
