Overview

Lizzy's is a homemade ice cream brand founded in 1995 in Waltham, Massachusetts. It offers over 50 homemade flavors, including traditional and adventurous options, as well as no-sugar-added, yogurt, vegan, and sorbet options. The brand also provides custom ice cream cakes, catering services, and home delivery.

History

Lizzy's first opened its doors in 1995 in Waltham, on Moody Street, and quickly became a local staple. What began as a dream by founder Nick Pappas evolved into more than a dessert shop. In 2016, Nick stepped back, and Miriam Benitez, who had worked at Lizzy's since high school, took over the Waltham location. A second location in Harvard Square operates under a partner, Phil Rizzuto, still under the Lizzy's umbrella.
