Adventurous Approach for Crazy Quality
Nice to Meet You
"Pazzo" in Italian means crazy and that's exactly what we are:
crazy for quality ingredients blended in unexpected flavor combinations that take you on a wild flavor adventure.
Come get crazy with us!
Family Owned
Our family has been hand-crafting gelato on Sunset Blvd. in Silver Lake for 15 years. The neighborhood has changed over the years, but our mantra remains the same: quality ingredients for a quality experience.
Small Batch
We stand firm on the principle of quality over quantity. Our hand-crafted small batches of 1-of-a-kind flavors use only the best ingredients and we never cut corners.
Vegan & GF
With unique 24 flavors every day, we offer many delicious vegan options and bold sorbetti.
Local Farms
We draw flavor inspirations from the bounty of our local farmers' market. What's fresh in the market is usually what is freshly made in our shop.
What Inspires Us
This family-run spot in LA's hip Silver Lake area turns farmers' market ingredients into fantastical flavors of gelato and sorbetto, such as Guiness and chevre with fig.
Pazzo is one place where I almost prefer sorbet to gelato -- their sorbets are made with local produce, organic when possible, and they are world-class creations.
Supremely textured gelati, cheery service, good prices, streetside tables, and flavors like chocolate-orange, curry-coconut, mascarpone-ginger, and European yogurt make us love this place.
This adorable Silver lake shop offers a cornucopia of flavors ... options like cayenne mango, almond fig, santa rosa plum, and limoncello with basil. Pazzo means "crazy" in Italian, but if this is lunacy, send me to the nut house.
About Us

Our philosophy is simple:
“The only way to make amazing gelato is by using amazing ingredients.”

About Mike
Michael was born and raised in Los Angeles (Hollywood) and calls Silver Lake his home. Being around great food as a kid, as well as listening to his family critique each meal they ate, helped him develop a somewhat uncompromising palate.
When Pazzo Gelato opened in 2006, it was important that every flavor was “accepted” by the family. The opportunity to train with a gelato master helped him to develop his own recipes and techniques. His love for local Farmer’s Markets and support of his local community were a perfect combination.
All these years later, it’s still important that his family (customers included) enjoy the unique variety of flavors offered each day.
