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.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
At The Pop, the Millefoglie earns singular praise for its delicate, buttery layers. The overall vibe is one of refined simplicity, where each bite feels intentional and quietly luxurious.
“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.”
