This ain't no one hit wonder. Greatest Hits is back baby, for another year of madness. And the good news is, it's lockdown approved so you can pre-order without leaving the couch. We've collated your most loved specials from this year and years gone by, the ones that broke our DMs and sell out faster than we can blink. Adapting to the times your 100% pre-ordered pints will be freshly churned and pre-packed — making the experience better for you. From Monday 26th July, we're putting the call out to pre-order pints of your favourite and very limited edition specials, before we churn and batch your take-home beauts.

The details:

• Single flavour pints (473ml) – All flavours will be freshly packed on their lonesome in individual pints. Better stacking, no flavour bleed, more hoarding, better value packs. Pint dimensions: 97 (top) x 100 (height) x 75mm (base).

• Pre-order security – You can't miss out once you've locked in your goods. Pre-order as much as you want without leaving home and pick up later. We'll have staggered pick up dates and times over to avoid mass migration. If you're in lockdown, please make sure you're within the radius restrictions for your city.

• More availability – Volume is higher and we've spread the love across more stores and states... if you have a Messina in your city, you're in!

• The more you buy, the better it is:
  
  - $16 per tub (but why stop at one?) OR

The story behind Messina's Greatest Hits and 19 years of specials:

We’ve watched as over 4000 specials have hit the cabinet since opening. Some come and leave without so much as a whisper, whilst others make a lot of noise and are so good they make regular come backs. Always greeted with much frantic fanfare from those who know.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been around since 2002, when we opened our first Darlinghurst store on Victoria street.  In those 19 years and now over 20 stores, our cabinets have seen over 4000 gelato specials and new flavours do the rounds, rotating in and out along side Messina classics. For those who don't know, Messina specials first came to fruition properly when Head Chef Donato Toce joined the team in 2008, and he made them a permanent offering. They now occupy 5 slots in our cabinet and rotate every week so there's a new flavour every Tuesday - Saturday. We've had thousands of different flavour creations over the years - some, we’re happy to forget about… like Nacho Libre (don’t ask) and Roast Chicken Sorbet, but there’s a lot that are house favourites, and that we get asked to bring back on the reg or have a special back story to them. They've become an integral part of Messina history and our story overall. So we thought we'd celebrate!
