Overview
Winter is not traditionally ice cream weather. However, when that ice cream is being served up by Gelato Messina — voted best gelato in Australia, officially by Good Food Guide and unofficially by our taste buds — seasons no longer matter, only taste and the chance to devour as much as you can. With sadly no Messinas opened (yet) in Brisbane, that chance just became a whole lot easier thanks to Uber.
The on-demand private driver service has teamed up with the Sydney-founded cult gelato giant for Friday, July 18 only to deliver their deliciousness directly to your door. From 11am, Uber ice cream trucks will be transporting specially prepared packs of Messina around Brisbane (and to cities in over 130 countries), all lucky spots who are in for a very good Friday. And you can enjoy this service with the simple flick of a finger.
To order, download the Uber app, then just open it, move the slider to the 'Ice Cream' option and request a delivery to your door in minutes — $20 will get you a 500ml tub ($15 for a cheeky extra one) and some Uber merch. It's easier than serving your own ice cream at home, and definitely more delicious (no offence to your sub-par, store-bought ice cream, but this is pretty much the best there is).
If you're a first time user, the tub is free. FREE. Just use the promo code ICECREAMBNE when you sign up for Uber and you'll nab $25 off your Messina purchase (covers the tub and some).
You can keep up to date with all of the action on Twitter and Instagram at #UBERICECREAM and @Uber_Brisbane whilst devouring your mouthwatering treat but remember, this is for tomorrow Friday, July 18, only (or Ice-Cream Christmas if you will), so take advantage of this offer whilst you can. Maximum of two tubs per customer, so maybe steer clear of your friends afterwards if you're precious with your iced confections.
Get ready Brisbane. We're talking delivered Messina here.
