Gelati & Peccati
Featured In
Gelati & Peccati, part of the Buona Forchetta family, features Roman-style pizza named after peccati, or sins, specifically the Seven Deadly Sins. The high-hydration dough ferments for a full three days before it’s patted into sheet pans, topped with all manner of delicious ingredients, and baked to an airy, light crust. Mimicking the walk-up pizzeria and gelati shops found all over Rome, there are at least a dozen varieties available at any given time. Try the luxurious Lussuria (Lust), with mozzarella, caciocavallo, guanciale, and fresh truffle, or the best-selling Invidia (Envy), simply adorned with zucchini, ricotta, lemon zest, and black pepper. Save room for a scoop or two of gelato, which comes in a wide range of flavors—we love the sublime Roasted Pistachio or sweet-tart Cherry Hazelnut with Chocolate Chip, plus vegan options and fruit sorbets. Its new outpost, GP Diner, opened in February on South Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas
