But if you’re in the mood to experience some of the finest gelato flavors in Los Angeles, make your way to Turn Dough!

The best gelato flavors are those that tell a story, those that take you to places you’ve never been but wish you could live. Here’s a rundown of the globally adored gelato flavors, before diving into the stars of the show—our very own standout options at Turn Dough.

Global Gelato Flavors You Should Know

Gelato flavors are as diverse as the regions from which they hail. You’ve probably tried the classics—stracciatella, pistachio, and hazelnut. But there’s something uniquely compelling about the endless possibilities within this frozen art form. From the vibrant citrus notes of Sicilian lemon gelato to the indulgent chocolate hazelnut dream found in the heart of Turin, gelato offers a landscape of flavor that knows no bounds.

Stracciatella, the timeless favorite, delivers shards of chocolate mingling within creamy milk base. Its elegance lies in the contrast—the crispness of chocolate against the soft, delicate gelato. If you ever find yourself lost in the labyrinth of Florence’s cobbled streets, this gelato will be your guiding star. And pistachio, oh pistachio—dense, nutty, and earthy. It’s a flavor that speaks to the soul of Sicily. But why stop there? Hazelnut, chocolate, coffee—all of these flavors exemplify gelato’s sophisticated side.

A drizzle of caramel brings it all together, adding a silky finish that lingers on the palate. This is a flavor that whispers nostalgia, yet surprises with every bite.

Big Bang Crunch Gelato

A twist on the traditional crunchy gelato, Big Bang Crunch introduces a riot of flavors.

Brownie Double Chocolate Gelato
