Zeppe's Italian Ice

Zeppe's Italian Ice brings authentic Italian ice and frozen custard to Southern Utah, establishing itself as St. George's premier destination for artisanal frozen treats. Since 2015, this beloved local business has been voted Best Dessert in Southern Utah, earning recognition for their commitment to quality ingredients and traditional preparation methods.

Premium Italian Ice Excellence

The business specializes in Italian ice made fresh daily using real fruit and premium ingredients, combined with rich frozen custard crafted with real cream and sugar. Their signature "gelata" - a perfect combination of Italian ice and frozen custard - has become a local favorite, offering customers the best of both worlds in a single serving. With rotating flavors and seasonal specialties, Zeppe's ensures there's always something new to discover.

Southern Utah's Desert Climate Solution

Located in the heart of St. George's growing food scene, Zeppe's serves the unique needs of Southern Utah's diverse community. The region's extreme summer temperatures make quality frozen treats not just a luxury but a necessity, and Zeppe's fills this need with products that provide genuine relief from the desert heat. Their Italian ice, with its lighter texture and refreshing fruit flavors, offers a cooling alternative to traditional ice cream during the scorching summer months when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F.

Tourist Season Expertise

The business understands the seasonal patterns of Southern Utah's economy, adjusting their operations to serve both year-round residents and the thousands of tourists who visit the region. During peak tourist seasons, particularly spring and fall when visitors flock to Zion National Park and other area attractions, Zeppe's provides a perfect stop for families seeking a sweet treat after outdoor adventures.

Community Gathering Place

Zeppe's also serves as a community gathering place, hosting events and providing catering services for local celebrations. Their location on East 700 South places them in a growing commercial district that serves both established St. George neighborhoods and the expanding residential areas that characterize the region's rapid population growth.
