FLAVORS & DIETARY NEEDS

Do you offer dairy-free, vegan, or nut-free gelato/sorbetto options?
Yes! We offer dairy-free sorbettos and oat- or coconut milk–based gelati. Many flavors are naturally nut-free. Just let us know your dietary needs—we’re happy to accommodate.

Can I customize flavors for my event or dietary preferences?
Absolutely! All of our gelato is made from scratch in small batches. We love collaborating on custom flavors that reflect your theme, vibe, or dietary needs.

How do I know if my favorite flavor is available?
Our flavors change based on what’s in season. Subscribe to our Hotplate alerts or check our site’s “How to Order” page for current availability before you order.

CATERING & EVENTS

Can I book Butterfat Gelato for weddings or multi-day events?
Yes! We’ve catered weddings, festivals, and everything in between. Whether it's 10 or 1,000 guests, we’ll work with you to create something memorable.

Is there a minimum order for catering or drop-off services?
Yes. Our full-service gelato station or cart starts at $600. For drop-off cups or tubs, minimums depend on size and distance. Contact us and we’ll help you find the best fit.

How far in advance should I book catering?
For cart or station service, we recommend reaching out as soon as you know about your event. We tend to book 2–3 months ahead. For self-service options, we can often accommodate shorter timelines—just ask!

Can you accommodate last-minute time changes due to weather?
We try our best! Minor time adjustments can often be made depending on logistics and staff availability. We always recommend a covered or indoor setup for weather flexibility.

What is the service radius for delivery/catering?
We cater within 20 miles of our shop on Pittsburgh’s Northside. Delivery within this radius starts at $50. For longer distances, we charge $2 per mile beyond the 20-mile range.
