As a connoisseur of fine ice creams, I recently indulged in the Rum & Raisin flavor, a personal favorite. The experience was nothing short of impressive. The rich, creamy texture combined with the robust flavor of rum and the sweet, chewy raisins created a delightful symphony of taste and texture. My companion opted for a strawberry ice cream shake. While it was well-prepared, the flavor didn't quite resonate with me, as strawberry isn't my preferred choice. However, for those who enjoy a classic strawberry shake, it would likely be a satisfying option. I am eager to return for another serving of the Rum & Raisin ice cream. Next time, I plan to enhance the experience by adding a sprinkle of walnuts or hazelnuts, introducing a delightful crunch that would complement the smooth, rich base. Great service and they have few outdoor benches as well to enjoy your ice cream. read more

Petrucci's Inside Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Best soft serve I have ever had!!! Honestly... I can't say enough good things about this place. To say I was pleasantly surprised I'd an understatement. I got a soft serve swirl with cookie dough bites and it was delicious. The ice cream is perfectly creamy, and the vanilla had an almost marshmallow-y taste to it. It also sort of reminded me of the cream inside an Oreo. Perfectly balanced between creamy and cold- it didn't taste watered down or too "Icy". My mom and my 16 month old also agreed. (Ok, my mom agreed. My son was a fan but he doesn't quite understand just how good it was yet.) My son didn't finish his, so we brought it back with us to upstate NY. Yes, it was good enough to save in the freezer at our hotel and then to shlep back home so I could enjoy one more time. And also so my husband could try it since I couldn't stop raving about it. Also worth noting- I'm very impressed at their variety. They have lots of soft serve and hard ice cream flavors. I hope I have another work trip that brings me back, cause I will be dreaming of this ice cream until then! read more

I really enjoy the ice cream here. They have an extensive menu which includes soft and hard serve ice cream, Italian ice and sundaes. They also have multiple topping available. I had the cake batter in a waffle cone. It was very good and not overly sweet. I tried their churros during another visit and they were really good! Keep in mind this place does get busy but it's worth the wait. read more

This is usually crowded. And I expect even more so as the heated evenings kick in. I decided on the vanilla peanut butter and my favorite cherry vanilla. Both smooth and refreshing. First time getting vanilla peanut butter. And that by itself was really good. Lots of chunks of peanut butter. Suggested they get peanut butter and jelly ice cream. Only one place I know that sells it. . This is the neighborhood I've cream place. Always with a friendly young cast of workers that are very good at moving the crowd and getting the orders correct the first time. Always a nice place to return too read more

Petrucci's Inside Scoop - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Piscataway, New Jersey

Petrucci has been a long-standing fixture in Piscataway. You'll find it tucked away in a busy parking lot, so be prepared to get a bit creative when it comes to finding a parking spot. It's situated in a small strip with just two other stores, right next to a liquor shop. Now, about the service--it's decent, but it can get pretty busy, so expect a bit of a wait if you decide to visit. However, the ice cream they serve is quite good, especially the vanilla with a cone (my go to- and a classic). I personally enjoy it when I go, and the experience is generally welcoming. They offer a wide variety of flavors and are happy to make recommendations. If you're thinking about stopping by, I'd encourage you to do so. But I'd also recommend scoping out the parking situation with a quick drive-by and making your own assessment, as parking can sometimes be a bit challenging as it is popular. read more

My cousin, myself and our daughters decided to go for ice cream after our day of the escape room and lunch. They live around the corner from this place so it was a convenient walk for us to get here. I normally wouldn't be sure if this location was too convenient since it's somewhat in a residential location but it is on a main street. The line of customers certainly proved me wrong. This place appears to be a true local favorite. My daughter ordered ice cream with gummy bears and lots of whip cream; my cousin ordered one with brownie bites and whip cream (I think it was called a Moolah if my memory serves me correctly); her daughter ordered ice cream with a side of cookie dough bites. After asking about their lattes, which they don't offer almond milk or any other dairy-free milk, and after asking about any other dairy-free options which they don't offer in regular ice cream, I ordered their vegan, dairy free lime ice cream. Everything came to about $28 and I paid with my card. I can't believe I forgot to take pics but everything looked amazing except for my plain lime ice cream which was very much underwhelming. My cousin, her daughter and my daughter were pleased with their ice cream and my lime dessert was "okay" I'm not sure if that's what I was craving on this hot day but you can say it served it's purpose...somewhat. I ate a few spoonfuls and I was done. All in all, it was an okay experience. I wish they would add more dairy-free options to their menu. I would probably not go back for this reason. I recommend this place to all who don't have a problem with consuming dairy products/ingredients. read more

I love this place. The cake batter is amazing. I am allergic to chocolate so its great to find a ice cream place that offers so much variety. The staff is always very nice and quick. The ice cream is delicious. Love that its home made. I highly recommend people to come here. Do note you can call ahead to place your oder. I would say 60% of the time there is always a line cause its that good. read more

This is our local go to ice cream places. We have been going here for years and love it. Lots of hard ice cream and ices to choose from as well as my favorite vanilla and chocolate twist soft serve. We have also had there chocolate cookie ice creams sandwiches, my son's favorite. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

The pumpkin ice cream is 5 star! I have not had ice cream in a few, but well worth the wait.

This place is an obvious local favorite. The line was loooong. I love places with home made ice cream, and with a line like that I knew it would be good. But, normally a place like that also has a pretty good system and the line moves well. I expected to wait 10 min (its just scooping ice cream, right?). But I waited about 45 minutes!!! When I ordered my small hard pistachio on a sugar cone, honestly I was underwhelmed. The two scoops I got were tiny. I'm used to places like this packing it on. The ice cream was good and there was a lot of variety. But the line was long, it was pricey, and the portion was rather small. I guess it's a nice local spot, but I wouldn't personally come back since I'm not from the area. read more

Petrucci's is a great neighborhood spot with delicious ice cream and sweet treats. Great for family and friends.

I love love love this ice cream place. The vanilla soft here serve has to be the best I've ever had. The line gets super long for this place however it moves pretty fast. The service is great, everyone is so friendly. Some of my favorite flavors I get are orange creamsicle, vanilla soft serve with fruity pebbles, chocolate vanilla swirl with cake crunch, and strawberry banana swirl. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area! read more

As always this place never disappoints when it comes to ice cream. Probably one of my top 5 favorites. They always have great flavors with the hard ice cream and they also make a lot of different kinds of sundaes , shakes, smoothies and the list goes on. The young girls working there are always nice and very patient as people decide what they want . The lines can get crazy so keep that in mind if you come here but worth the wait in my book . read more

Please Please stop soliciting for tips. If one wants to give one they would instead of being asked at every visit, you wanna leave a tip today? NO I DONT the prices are high enough read more

I love Petrucci's! I haven't lived in Jersey for years, but every time I visit I always make my routine stop for a milkshake. This is the best ice cream in Piscataway. They're here during the warm seasons. I live in Atlanta now, but whenever I come home for a visit I Must stop here for a sundae, milkshake or cone a couple times before heading back down south. The girls here are usually from around town and go to the high school and the owners can see wandering around the back or even handing you yours ice cream. When you come at the peak of day, the line can be around to the liquor store or down the side walk but whatever the wait - It's well worth it. The ice cream isn't expensive. They offer soft serve and hard ice cream. (when ordering a shake I always ask for hard ice cream.. it tastes better) read more

My favorite ice cream spot in central jersey :) no flavor has let me down. Worth the long lines they get on the daily.

I went to Petrucci's today to get my favorite Toasted Coconut ice cream. When I ordered it the girl said "we don't have it" I asked if it's not longer something they offer or did they run out. She coldly repeated her words saying "we just don't have it".... I asked if they were to get more in anytime soon. She says "I'm not the manager. Idk when we'll have it. Maybe after quarantine. Maybe when it's warmer. Idk. Is there anything I can get you?" I asked for orange sherbet. "We don't have it". Ok fine. Pistachio? "We don't have it" At that point I left. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! read more

This place was pretty good. Felt very safe coming here during corona as everyone in line was 6ft apart and wearing masks. Workers wore masks too. The line was pretty long and we had to wait around 15 minutes. A lot of flavors and the whole family really liked it. Toppings are also very good. read more

Best Ice Cream around!! They have been open this entire time during COVID-19 to feed people that wanted a treat! THANK YOU

Pros: good for price and crazy pms craving that made me order Brownie fudge sundae with chocolate sauce and chocolate chips.

This is a great ice cream spot. Employees are efficient and ice cream is delicious! I've had the milkshakes, churros, banana splits, special sundaes, etc. All their stuff is great! Huge variety on their menu. This is my "go-to" spot. read more

Very mediocre, the flavors were boring and I don't know how much they make homemade if any. It was the run of the mill artificial flavors with artificial color. One of employees lifted up a bucket of ice cream to move it in the freezer and it said "Jack & Jill" on the tub itself...you can get better Ice cream from the supermarket nowadays. I tried there vanilla soft serve too, it was tangy... So my guess is it was about to turn. The Plus side : the employees were very nice and it was very clean. read more

Not a fan and won't be returning. This is not a homemade ice cream shop - the ice cream is Jack & Jill brand. I didn't order anything because I was expecting homemade and didn't want ice cream I could buy at my local supermarket. I'm giving 3 stars but my daughter got a funnel cake, which she said was good. My kids also liked their ice cream, but I was disappointed that it was bought and not made. read more

Very impressive. Walk up ice cream shop. A large sundae (enough for 2 meals) is only between $5-6. They have several soft serve flavors one which is an orange vanilla swirl which my boyfriend got and loved. They also use the 12 flavor gummy bears he loves as a topping. I got the Reese's sundae with the peanut butter chocolate swirl hard ice cream... it was amazing! Definitely a good place to go but it's kinda busy. read more

We went here for the second time. One vanilla milkshake and one chocolate milkshake cost $11.10 total. However, the milkshakes were great and worth the money. read more

Good ice cream; cranky old ladies. Seriously ladies. If you're gonna work in an ice cream shop, you are gonna have to occasionally deal with little kids. I took my 3 and 4-year-old nephews here for an after dinner treat. The 4YO wanted soft serve strawberry. No problem, they got that. His 3YO little brother announced that he too wanted strawberry, but I wasn't so sure. I mean, this little boy is all about the chocolate. He'd eat his own foot if we dipped it in chocolate. Anyway, I asked for a small strawberry for the 4YO and told the lady that I wanted the 3YO to give it a lick before I ordered his just in case. Oh my God what I eye roll I got. It's not even like they were busy since we were the only people there at the time. Is this what the DMV would feel like if they served ice cream? In the end though we persevered, the 3YO liked the strawberry, and everyone was happy with their ice cream. read more

I had black raspberry and strawberry. The ice cream was delicious. It tasted fresh and it was perfect for a hot day like today. Also the owner was very friendly. He let me sample before I made my selection which I really appreciated read more

I literally live a walk away from this place, but have only gone a few times. Actually, the last time I went was only out of default because I was craving one of my favorite ice cream flavors, black cherry, and thought they may have had it. For a long time I avoided this place because my mother doesn't like the service there, and I'm kind of a mommy's girl so... if mother said it, it must be true! (lol) A couple of times, in the summer, I'd see it had a long line, so I figured it couldn't be THAT bad (maybe mom caught the lady on a bad day). So, one day, I just went and ordered a vanilla with sprinkles in a bowl. The girls working there were super-nice, and the ice cream was good (not awesome or great, but good). I went another day, probably a year later, and ordered the same thing. Again, the employees were nice and the ice cream was good. Then, the last time I went, I was waited on by the owner of the place (the older lady some of the other reviewers are referring to and the same lady my mom doesn't like). I went late, maybe 25mins before they close, so I thought she'd be happy to see me and get some extra business before they closed shop for the day. She came to the window and greeted me: she wasn't friendly but she wasn't mean either, just... blah. I ordered a black cherry in a bowl. She took my order, we made the transaction, I got my ice cream, and left. The ice cream was fantastic. I haven't been back, even though the ice cream was great. I honestly can buy great black cherry ice cream almost anywhere because it's such a great flavor. I personally have nothing against the owner, but maybe if she had a better attitude, more people would be talking about this place. read more

I never thought a vanilla soft serve cone with sprinkles could taste so bad... I could have sworn there was no sugar added to mine, there were more spinkles than icecream, and the employee was so stingy with napkins even though the cone was dripping before I paid... It was so bad we dumped it in the grass nearby. Poor grass. Just trust me, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR ICE CREAM. read more

Ice cream on a hot day? Expect to wait. Not the fault of the girls and guys working here though. It's just a magnet for those looking for something cool on a hot day. Sundaes, soft serve, milkshakes and of course soft serve blended with candy. Yes they have other things other than ice cream. And so worth the wait. Honestly there only competition is blizzard island and both are very good places. This place lacks space. Yes that's right. There isn't enough room for this place in the strip mall. They are much bigger than the space they have. I've seen plenty of people leave because it got too crowded. Like I said before. Don't blame the staff they are working hard to serve everyone! I don't mind the wait. It's worth it read more

Love the brownie batter wish they had more vegan options. Lines get long always seem to get the same fat kid in front of me

Very good ice cream place and very popular. There is always a line when I go but it is worth it. The line usually go pretty fast but sometimes it can be a bit slow. There is no inside for yo I to sit in so it gets pretty hot and crowded so I usually get it to go. The only problem is that the line gets so long people are sometimes standing in the parking lot and have kids running around which can be a bit dangerous. Definitely recommend, I've always had good experience with workers, very friendly. read more

Close to the house and good ice cream. Its a couple of blocks from the park so easy to cool the kiddies (and adults!) off after a few hours on the swings and monkey bars. We usually get sundaes and eat them as we walk back to the park. It can get packed on hot days, so be prepared to eyeball everyone else's cones enviously as they walk by while you wait your turn. read more

This is my favorite place to go during the summer when I'm at home. The owner works there all the time and she is sooo friendly. They have great choices in ice cream flavor and all sorts of other interesting desserts, such as the Canoli Pop. I also love their gelatis (a combination of ice cream and italian ice). They have strawberry and banana soft serve which is made from real fruit!! All in all, I don't think anyone could go to this place and not find something that they liked. read more
