Wholesale Ice Cream Program Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What packaging formats do you offer?
We currently offer 3-gallon bulk tubs for food-service and pints for retail freezers.

Q2: What makes your ice cream super-premium?
Betsy’s Ice Cream contains 15% butterfat and has low overrun, resulting in dense, rich, deeply flavorful ice cream.

Q3: What is your delivery area?
Yes. We deliver across the Pittsburgh tri-state area.  If you’re within a 2-hour drive of Pittsburgh, you’re within our delivery area. However, mandatory order quantities vary greatly depending on delivery distance, so please contact us for more details.

Q4: Do you have any dairy-free options?
Yes. We offer a broad selection of sorbets, vegan ice creams, and Italian Ice varieties.

Q5: Do you offer seasonal or limited-time flavors?
Seasonal flavors are available multiple times per year to help you refresh your menu and boost sales.

Q6: What are your minimum order requirements?
While there are no minimum order quantities for pick-up orders, the average minimum order volumes start at $400 for 3-gallon tubs and $200 for pints. We use a customer’s average order volume to compensate for the seasonality inherent in the frozen dessert business.

Q7: What is the ordering process?
A majority of our ice cream is made-to-order to ensure that customers get the freshest ice cream possible. Once a customer decides to join, they are issued an account to our wholesale order page.  The current deadline for submitting orders is 11:00 AM EST every Monday for delivery Thursday or Friday.
