The story
Tucked away at Via Dalmazio Birago in Perugia, The Pop has quietly earned a stellar 4.8-star rating—impressive for a venue that operates as a cultural center rather than a traditional restaurant. The space remains under the radar locally, but food-tour creator Giovanni Fois brought it to wider attention in his Umbria episode, calling it a “gelateria near Lake Trasimeno, not well-known in Perugia.”
What caught Fois’s eye was the millefoglie, which he singled out as excellent, alongside a pistachio flavor he described as “unique.” That combination—a familiar pastry executed with care and a nut-forward gelato that dares to be different—encapsulates The Pop’s quiet charm. For travelers seeking an offbeat, high-quality sweet stop in Perugia, this is the place.

The Pop’s millefoglie is the undisputed star, earning rapturous praise from a single reviewer for its delicate layers. The overall vibe is one of quiet, refined indulgence, a hidden gem for dessert lovers.
“I once tried a millefoglie here that was criminally good — I'm curious to try it again. The Be Bop flavor is like a sort of Loacker, and the pistachio is particular, very salty — as a pistachio expert, I can tell you it's worth it.”
