Noah Dan, who spent his childhood in Trieste, Italy, founded Pitango in 2007 to re-create the pure and wholesome gelato of his youth. Still a family-owned business, Pitango now has five locations in DC, Maryland and Virginia. On a quest to find the best milk possible, Noah set up our own dairy on Pennsylvania’s Spring Wood Organic Farm—a pioneer in grass-fed, organic farming. We prepare gelato and

sorbets on the farm to source milk from Spring Wood’s single herd, eggs from its free-range hens and fruit from local orchards. After flavors are blended on the farm, we churn every batch of gelato and sorbet on location in each of our shops to ensure peak freshness. The step of churning our products on site—and not in a factory—also enables us to bypass the need for chemicals, preservatives, stabilizers, colorings or flavorings. We think you’ll taste the difference.

The Pitango Difference 😎🐄🥛

One of our biggest differentiators (and honestly, our pride + joy) is our milk.

We source fresh, grass-fed milk from a small family farm just outside Baltimore— and we’re the only frozen dessert shop in the DMV going to these lengths. 🐄✨

Then we pasteurize it ourselves, in-house, for EVERY SINGLE batch of gelato.

No shortcuts.
No mystery mixes.
Just pure, top-quality milk churned into really good gelato. 🥛🍦

Taste the difference!!!

Featured Ingredient: Domori Chocolate 🍫

Ever wondered what gives our Salted Caramel Brownies, Chocolate Gelato, and Chocolate Sorbet their intensely rich, deeply chocolatey flavor?

The secret is Domori Chocolate —a renowned Italian chocolate maker celebrated for helping preserve the prized Criollo bean, one of the world’s most sought-after cacao strains. We source Domori’s single-origin, 100% cacao chocolate from Côte d’Ivoire for its remarkable depth and complex chocolate character.

At Pitango, every recipe starts with extraordinary ingredients and lets them shine. One taste, and you’ll discover the Pitango difference. 💚💚💚
