Rizuto's Ice Cream & Sweet Shop

Rizuto's Ice Cream & Sweet Shop is a family ice cream parlor known for its large homemade scoops and giant soft serve cones. The menu includes sundaes, banana splits, and the monster shake, along with snow cones and cotton candy. Chip Rizuto, the owner, dreams up new flavors every month, and his kids often work the counter.

The shop has two locations in Colorado Springs, one on the north side and one on the south side. Lines can run out the door on busy evenings, but the giant cones are a popular family outing because they won't break the bank. Friday and Saturday hours run later into the evening, and the parlor hosts parties and celebrations. The space keeps a small, friendly neighborhood feel with a look back at days gone by.
