My favorite local ice cream place. They have really good food too... the girls are always friendly and helpful
Oh my, ice cream treats from my childhood! Yummy! Funny the things you miss from your youth. I go Everytime I go back home.
Im home vacationing and visiting, 1st time in since I cant remember went Zesto for a flavor of the day, pineapple great. Next up Upside down Banana Spilt. Thank you Zesto!!! Havent changed since I had my 1st Zesto in 1975.
Wonderful little mom & pop ice cream shop. Orders are more customizable than you think.
Enjoyed an Oreo shake. Prompt, friendly service and reasonable prices
This is a famous place for getting some really yummy flavored ice cream, from Sundaes to shakes and cones. We swung by almost every night for my two week vacation here for a different flavored ice cream, after eating dinner. It is cash only, but its worth it. There are some tables and chairs outside in the back. This is an order from outside place only. There is handicap parking available.
Love this Pierre classic! Its a walk up that is open seasonally. Tons of unique sundaes and shakes creatively plastered across the glass. Plus a rotating sherbet of the day. Check it out if youre in town!
What a great place. Quick, inexpensive, delicious, and the portion sizes may kill you.
Best ice cream in the area! Generous portions. A summer time must
Great ice cream and food! You have to pay with either check or cash too. Variety of different things on their menu. Best day is the one time in July they have Christmas in July peppermint ice cream. The whole place is decked out in Christmas decorations then. Its a fun little place. They also have a sign you can read from the road now this year that lists the flavor of the day!! No more rubber-necking
Nice off the beaten pass spot . Service was quick . Very friendly.
A must stop place whenever Im in Pierre! Ice cream is always great and the flavor of the day is my favorite!
Fun place to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Incredible little art deco-ish ice cream place that also serves lunch. Service was fast and friendly, although we only ordered ice cream. Several other customers had ordered lunch and the orders seemed to be served quickly. Reasonable prices, $4 for a small dirty river, twist ice cream, how fudge and crushed Oreos. Next time were in the area, well be back.
Good local shop. Fun flavors, wish they took other forms of payment.
So good. Add the stop. Malts and shakes are delicious!
They close early when school started, and didnt bother to update their hours.
They close at 8 pm on Monday-Thursday. And 9 pm Friday-Sunday
Zesto is bestowed! The hand made signs are wonderful.
You cant go wrong with the Zesto!
So good! Cant wait to come back to Pierre so I can visit Zestos!
Zesto’s is awesome and they always have a huge variety of ice cream treats to pick from. Usually always a line but it’s always worth it. I do want to address the no credit card policy. It’s really just unacceptable now, especially during these times. As the pandemic continues, many places have opted to flat out stop taking cash all together and utilize card for a more contactless approach. The fact that Zesto’s does not take cards is baffling and I can only assume it’s because the owners don’t want to pay the associated fees that come with it. I do hope they get with the times and implement card payments. Other than the card issue, you can’t go wrong with Zesto’s. Just being cash... or I guess a check if you’re 65 years or older.
Kids go every chance they get. I like sending them. Its small town fun lol and really yummy ice cream. Family favorite is the cookie dough shake mmm mmm mmm
Better than the resto
Best spot in town for Ice cream and pizza Burger!
Awsome, Never dissapointed!!
Its a great old school place to eat and get a great ice cream treat! The staff is friendly too!
Best ice cream in town
Very good! Love the turtle sundae!
Best little ice cream treat shop there is!Zesto is the Besto!
I look for ice cream every place I go, this is the best!
Voted best Zesto! by the Family
Strawberry sherbert was amazing!
A very dated location, but the friendly staff is very welcoming.The large turtle was amazing. Honestly, the price was fantastic.Although the place can be extremely busy and requires a lot of waiting, it definitely is worth it. I would recommend attempting to sneak by during a less busy time, it is always worth it.
Can’t tell you the quality of ice cream. I can only say that it being “cash only” killed it for me. It’s 2019 there are several options to get a card reader without it being a nightmare as the owner.... perhaps it’s time you got an updated system? No outdoor seating or alcoves makes getting ice cream here a no go as the temps start dropping like they always do in Oct.Honestly I went to Dairy Queen because of the card options.
Superb ice cream and products. Way better than DQ
Best sherbet in town. Love this place. Check out their menu on Facebook. Lots of awesome flavors all the time!
Very yummy, never a bad experience here, the only place to get ice cream in Pierre in my opinion.
Great place for ice cream!
Best ice cream in South Dakota..
Favorite ice cream place in Pierre
Very good 👍
A classic must stop in Pierre. Took me straight back to the early 90s when I used to come here as a kid. Cash or check only when I was there 6-21.
Best ice cream ever.
Best ice cream, sherbet, and hot weather treats in Pierre. There is always a line at the window, but they serve from 2 windows, so it goes fast. Part of the charm is reading the signage, complete with original drawings, and listening to locals bumping into one another. This is a MUST STOP attraction in Pierre. There is a shaded park adjacent to the Zesto with benches where you can enjoy the pleasure of your treat.
When visiting family in Pierre South DAKOTA. WE love Zesto !! A must go and have the twist cone of the day ..
Yummy 😋
Nice people and great ice cream!!!
The best ice cream ever! They always have a flavor of the day as well as chocolate and vanilla, and lots of unique sundae type items. You can get fried food as well. They offer half gallons for $6, which is usually the route I go!! They offer a sundae called the Grandma Emma. I actually had a Grandma Emma. 😊
Great food!
The ice cream is fantastic. They have special flavors that rotate every couple days, plus chocolate and vanilla at all times. They also do twists, which are my personal favorite. They have a selection of food, but Ive only ever gone for ice cream. Give it a try, especially during the summer.
Could this be any better... Only if it was free.
ALWAYS THEE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD FOR ICE CREAM... LOVE THE VARIETY AND HOW THE MENU IS DRAWN IN THE WINDOWS!!! got ice cream here as a kid so glad its still open!
Zesto is a great place to go for ice cream. They have a huge variety, including several items not on the official menu. There are cute, hand-made signs featuring new flavors and creations, so youll have to look around or ask, but you are always sure to find something good. There is a menu with a featured flavor of the day. This is soft-serve ice cream, only outdoor seating, and cash or check only.
Always love Zesto! Stop by whenever were in town.
Try the Ranger rick! So good! Zesto is Besto for sure!
Always fast service. Zesto is an absolute MUST while in pierre.
Really good and best Ice cream I ever had but, never ate any other food there. I love it when they have black cherry flavor which tastes really good when you ask they to twist it with chocolate.
Was told to go here while we were visiting. I wish I could remember who told me because I owe them a thanks. We enjoyed the ice cream and Malta very much. The price is very reasonable too. Many places we’ve been to dish out smaller portions at a higher price. Zesto dishes out a large helping at an extremely reasonable price. Best of all, it’s delicious
You get a fair amount of ice cream for what you pay. Very pleased.
Its a great place to get dessert for your family. Sometimes you have to stand there, but it doesnt take long actually. It only takes a few minutes then they are at the window after people get their dessert. The works are really good at their jobs.
An absolute cant miss if you are in Pierre! Everything here is fantastic. They have a new flavor of sherbet every couple of days and the calendar of the flavors is on their website. Zesto is the best-o in the West-o
Zesty is besto
Friendly n they have alot of patience
The ice cream was amazingly good.Perfect way to end a hot summer day!
Nice place, but the fact that they havent figured out a way of accepting credit cards as payment is fairly ridiculous. To the owner: Square has been around for years now and will still mail you a completely FREE card reader, no strings attached.
This is the best ice cream confection stand I have ever found. I have stood in line (outdoors) in blowing snow to order. Their selection is large and there is some food as well.
Awesome stopping in here after a bicycle ride 💯
Local institution. Try the Palmer dog and an Uncle Matt. Do not miss out on the sherbet which is its own special animal (its not sherbet but its not strictly soft serve). Bring cash as they dont take cards. If there is a line, get in it its worth the wait.
Good selection, but no hard ice cream. But I enjoy thier malts.
Great icecream! Great service!
Great ice creams, malts, sundaes, pretty much everything. Cash only though, so bring some bills, but only a fee, prices are reasonable too. This place is great with tourists too.
Ill have a pizza burger and chocolate chip malt and be the happiest man alive. Ive been going here since I was a kid in the 80s and there is something very special about this Zesto. Next time Im in Pierre Ill be sharing this experience with my children.
Great food
A great place to get ice cream. Many other menu items which are all good, but the ice cream is my favorite item.
Love it!
Came to Pierre for family. While here, visiting you go to Cattlemans and Zestos. Neither disappoint.
Great place to get an ice cream cone, shake or Sunday. They have other food options but I have not tried it. The hotter the day the busier they get.
If you are in pierre in the summer you must treat yourself to some ice cream from zestos. A variety of flavors and wonderful staff.
Always good food and great, friendly service. Sometimes wait times get a little long but only because they are so good and so many people are waiting.
You know its good because its always busy.
Ice cream is fantastic and atmosphere is fun. Wish they would accept cards.
Their Ice cream is Amazing and the Service is Wonderful, very friendly and gets your order done quickly, Highly recommend this place
The best place to get ice cream in South Dakota.
Love this place. A must visit in Pierre, just come before 10 and bring cash. Different homemade flavors every few days, great way to spend a summer night, hanging on the back deck or street benchs. Old time Ice Crean store, and its awesome.
Pretty good ice cream! Got vanilla armadillo. Adorable and hit the spot.
Yes please! Any time is good time for ice cream especially from ZESTO. I have not tried the food items on the menu, like a pizza burger?, but the ice cream is great. No indoor seating, just two serving windows and the young girls that work the are friendly and helpful. They do have some basic outdoor seating. You can try icecream like dirt cup or muddy water, fun names for great ice cream. The prices are very reasonable and sizes are generous. Why you still reading this... go there!!
Always make a point to visit Zestos when we are in Pierre. Its the best.
Zesto in Pierre, South Dakota is the best seasonal, ice cream shop in the entire state of South Dakota.
Zesty has the best food
I love zestos ever since I was just a little kid Ive went there been in love every since
Always always s great treat at this place 😋
The ice cream was good. Seating and parking was limited.
