Pazzo Gelato Opens at Eaglewood

The new business brings a taste of Italy to North Andover.

Got a craving for a gelato or a panini? You're in luck. Pazzo Gelato opened at 99 Turnpike St. in the Eaglewood Plaza this weekend. Owner Jim Demotses and his wife Karen of North Andover said they hope to bring a taste of Italy to town. They serve dozens of flavors of gelato -- from basics such as strawberry or cookies and cream to exotics like coco hazelnut and banana -- made with milk, not cream, so the treats have fewer calories than ice cream. They also serve fresh paninis and espresso. Pazzo Gelato is open Monday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
