Our History: From Sicilian Streets to Philly Treats
It all started with snow. And a dream.
Centuries ago, in the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, locals would gather mountain snow, infuse it with lemon juice and honey, and serve it as a refreshing dessert called granita. It was icy. It was sweet. And it was revolutionary—long before refrigeration was even a thing.
As Italian immigrants made their way to America in the early 1900s, they brought more than their pasta recipes—they brought the art of Italian ice. But when they landed in Philadelphia, something magical happened.
Philly gave it grit, flavor, and flair.
Gone was the icy, coarse texture of old-school granita. In its place? A smoother, silkier, punch-you-in-the-palate version born on the stoops and corners of South Philly. It was brighter. Bolder. More intense. And it didn’t need a spoonful of nostalgia to win you over—just one taste.
Locals called it water ice (because, well… Philly does things its own way). And just like that, a street snack turned into a summertime staple. Generations of families lined up for paper cups packed with cherry, lemon, mango—flavors that danced across your tongue and cooled your soul.
