Always a great time at this place, love that they are open late and actually provide food. The pizza with zucchini was light. The staff is always helpful and ready to answer questions. read more

This pizza shop has a yummy looking display of pizza Roman style, al taglio. I got cacio e pepe and my husband got mortadella. Both were delicious. They were served on a plank and were toasty hot. It was a cool day and a little rainy so the gelato wasn't what we wanted, but we'll be back during the next Santa Ana to try it too read more

The pizza is a focia bread and EXACTLY like this great place we found in Rome. Absolutely have to try this place if your a pizza lover. Unfortunately I had too much pizza and didn't leave room for any Gelato. Lol. Will definitely be back!! read more

Your mouth will water looking at all the slices in the window. These are not your typical pizza options. I had a slice with potato, prosciutto and truffle oil. It was very tasty and the crust was crispy. It reminds me of a flatbread as it's a rectangle shape. My friend had the mortadella with pistachio nuts. She tasted mine and said it was better. I was on a restricted diet that day, So would like to definetly try another type if I am in the area. Oh last time I was in Encinitas went to the gelato place attached...so decadent! read more

Gelati & Peccati - Potato, prosciutto, truffle - Pizza Near Me - Encinitas, California

Have walked by this place before and have gazed longingly at the slices of pizzas. This is not your regular pizza place. They have a wonderful selection of types of pizza. Ingredients include prosciutto, arugula, different cheeses, mushrooms, zucchini, mortadella and many more combinations. I chose a slice with mortadella, ricotta, buffalo mozzarella and a sprinkle of pistachios. It was not a particularly generous slice, but was delicious. It was a great snack! Service is friendly and helpful. They also have a little coffee area for specialized drinks and gelato. Glad I gave it a try! read more

I was scrolling on Yelp and found this place so I thought I'd check it out. The staff are super friendly and were patient while I chose my slices(there's just so many good options!). The marinara and the one with zucchini (can't recall the name) were delicious! The gelato was the perfect sweet treat to finish off the meal. read more

Absolutely amazing gelato! I was first attracted to walking inside because of the beautiful display of food in the windows and to my absolute delight when I walked in, I saw they also had gelato. There was only one person working in the entire place...the poor guy was running back-and-forth working so very hard. He was very pleasant, greeted us with a huge smile, but we did have to wait quite a bit to have the gelato served. Seeing how busy he was and the fact that he was alone, we really weren't disturbed by the wait but I do think he could use some help, especially on a busy Saturday like it was. I definitely want to go back to try some of the other food that they had and will absolutely be back for the gelato! They have tons of seating in a separate attached building and in the center courtyard. The space can really accommodate large groups. It's on the main strip- very busy but we were able to find some parking on one of the back streets. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

This place is so fun! The pizza is great, lots of selections, fresh ingredients, and the perfect size. Really affordable for such great quality. The gelato is delicious as well, we go the yogurt and berries and the saffron vanilla. Both were full of flavor and had a perfect texture. The owner was super nice and helpful, he allowed us to try a couple different flavors of the gelato. Make sure to try the pizza with hot honey, it's so delicious!! Definitely a great spot read more

Best pizza around. Individual slices or you can order a whole pizza. Depends when you go but they get it out pretty quickly. They got great music for you to listen to with some outside seating and inside. If you want to get ice cream after then look no further. I absolutely love this gem. read more

Came in for a gelato and coffee but then my husband saw the slices that reminded him of Rome and he's forgoing gelato for pizza! The servers were so kind and helpful.

Gelati & Peccati was outstanding. The prosciutto pizza with truffle oil was absolutely amazing - perfectly cooked Roman-style crust, great balance of flavors, and the truffle oil really brought it home. The saffron, vanilla, pistachio gelato was unreal. Super creamy, rich, and unique - easily one of the best gelatos I've had. The staff were unbelievably friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was really cool and fun. Just an all-around great experience. Highly recommend. read more

Great Gelato. Yummy flavors to pick from. The pizza was tasty as well. In San Diego give this place a try.

We ate a tasty inexpensive pizza here last week. We were drawn by the impressive pizza by the slice displayed in the window as we walked by. When we walked in, we decided to order a whole pizza. They have regular thin crust pizza that s pretty inexpensive, and they also havesome gourmet pizza offerings that are more pricy. There is also a little independent coffee shop located in the same building that made me one of the best lattes ever. read more

This place is a hidden gem! My friends came across this place when we passed it on the way to our original destination. Our original destination had a really long line and we knew seating would be limited, and it was chilly outside. So we went back here because it smelled so good and the window was displaying some appetizing slices. We were welcomed by the staff, who I believe is a Roman family. They were very kind and informative of the food and ingredients. There's a connected gelato place too. There are some tables, we sat in a booth! We parked on the street. read more

We walked by this cute place and decided to give it a try and we were happy we did! Such a cute store with a pizza station, coffee shop and a gelato corner. We liked how they sold pizza by the slice so we got a few to try. The pizza isn't your typical pizza base, it's more like a focaccia bread base and it was really good. We had the sausage mushroom, the artichoke and also the eggplant one. Eggplant was a little undercooked but the other 2 were great! If you're looking for a quick bite, definitely check them out. read more

Well sorry but this pizza was freaking nasty. Looks super cool and creative so you keep telling yourself it has to be good and then you finish and it's like, um, yeah that was disgusting. Urban pizza blows this away into another universe. And if you've actually ever been to Naples and had pizza where it was invented? Ya, even more laughable. Message to owners- Learn how to make a pizza. read more

Having Roman-style pizza in Encinitas is something I am very grateful for. They use fresh ingredients and the dough is reminiscent of the slices you could get on Via dei Condotti in Rome. Now, I'm going to let you in on my pizza hack. All you need is a microwave, a cast iron skillet and some cooking oil. First, go in to the shop and pick out the slices that look good to you. Tell them NOT to put them in the oven and that you'll reheat them at home. When you get home, put your slices, one at a time, into the microwave. I usually go for 60-90 seconds, which raises the overall internal temp of the slice just right. Meanwhile, use a paper towel to spread a small amount of oil in the skillet and heat it to medium-high temp. You can also shake a pinch of salt into the pan. Once the slice is done microwaving, quickly transfer into the skillet and move it around for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom gets that crispness - which you can test for by lifting the slice up and tapping your metal spatula against the bottom of the slice. When ready, remove the pizza and enjoy this slice of heaven (see what I did there?) with a crisp crust along with a chewy top. Wash, rinse, repeat. You're welcome. read more

Honestly, I was bummed when Angelo's, the burger joint that was previously located here, when out. I didn't absolutely love their burgers but I respected how long they had been around. They were a landmark of sorts. But if Angelo's had to be replaced, welcome to yet another venture by the Buona Forchetta folks who can apparently do no wrong. So what can you get here? Well, a little bit of everything. They've got a ton of different Roman-style pizza slices, they've got delicious gelato, they've got a coffee bar, and they've got a diner with a pretty extensive menu, including burgers. The pizza is really good. It's cut into squares and you get two squares with each order. They are fluffy slices but still very filling. The ingredients are excellent. They had one style with pumpkin--seriously--that I thought I would hate but ended up loving. The ingredients on the slices are crazy fresh. They also aren't overloaded with cheese, although I have never complained about too much cheese on anything. We also tried the gelato. It's pricey but you get a couple of big scoops. The flavors are not traditional but the stuff is delicious. You can get samples, too. There's seating inside or you can take your grub to go. The workers were extremely friendly and helpful. read more

Delicious pizza and panini with gelato for dessert. Service was great and authentic. Ambiance was fun and has a cool vibe. Ordering from the pizza counter was confusing as we only saw pizza slices but you can order items from the full menu at the pizza counter. Gelato was at another counter and the selection was amazing. Refills on ice tea was appreciated! Painted mural wall Gelati and Peccati design and font conflicted with the menu design font. Confusing menu design has a diner 1950's Jeston cartoon vibe. Wall mural has a cool clean summer vibe. All good though. Food was good. Recommend margarita and Sicilian, pass on the BBQ pizza. Mocha hazelnut gelato was moto bene! read more

Last time I went to the Taco Stand this place was still being renovated. This little restaurant is a great find for those who have or have not been to Italy. They have pretty much all the food you would like to try when you go to Italy, paninis, pizza, gelato and affogato or cortado. The pizza and gelato reminded me of walking in the streets near St. Peter's Square. Thank you for the experience, I will be back again to try different flavors of gelato and the different pizzas. read more

Yesterday our pizza took a little longer than usual to come out and the server (I wish I got his name!) was so apologetic because our order had accidentally been misplaced in the shift change, we didn't even realize it had been that long! He was the one who noticed the mistake before we even asked, and he gave us free gelato as an apology. Such a great experience as always and the saffron vanilla pistachio gelato was the best read more

Absolutely loved everything about our experience at Gelati & Peccati! We tried a little bit of everything -- pizza, pasta, salad, cheesesteaks, and of course, the gelato -- and every single item was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was top-notch: fast, friendly, and attentive. The staff made us feel welcome, and the owner personally checked in on our table, which was such a thoughtful touch. You can really tell they care about the food and the people. The vibe is relaxed but vibrant, perfect for a casual night out or a treat-yourself lunch. This place is a gem in Encinitas -- if we ever come back to Southern California we will be back! read more

This place is amazing. Immediately upon walking in Oasis is playing in the speakers, off to a great start. Found out the pizza is handmade and all of the recipes are created by the owner himself. He has been doing this for 15 years, and the gelato was incredible. I had the Equadorian Chocolate flavor. Anyways, it's rare nowadays you go to a place where what is being sold, is something made with love and perfected with time. Great experience, highly recommend. read more

Delicious slices of za. Cute little spot on 101 in enci. Didn't try the gelato or coffee but tried slices of the cacio e pepe and prosciutto arabiata pizzas. Personally i think $5.95 per slice is a bit excessive, which is why i dinged one star. The pizza slices are about 6 bites and $1 a bite just feels kind of crazy even in this inflationary world we live in. I think$3.95 is probably more realistic but the pizza is damn good and the ingredients are super fresh. Love the focaccia crust. Would definitely try it again. read more

Worst experience ever. Ordered what was supposed to be 5 delightful slices of pizza. All different. Received 2 boxes, all one kind. All completely burnt and had so much red pepper flakes on it literally none of us could eat it. Called the shop, no one answered. Called the door dash driver, no English. Asked door dash for a refund, not allowed per their policy which is, apparently, you get what you get or you get nothing and deal with it! Just don't order from here... read more

Pizza is so yummy, flavors were spot on, the pizza came out in a good time, and the price was awesome. Definitely would recommend

GP Diner is finally open in Encinitas! If you are not aware, the "GP" stands for Gelati & Peccati and yes, the Gelati & Peccati of North Park, San Diego of Buona Forchetta. I have to say, the community and surrounding area of Encinitas are very fortunate to GP Diner close to home. I had the Creamy Artisan Olive Oil with a Citrus Zest and their famous Roman Pizza known as Taglio Pizza. I went with two of my favorites, the lasagna bolognese and the sausage and mushroom. Both slices came with that terrific crust taglio pizza offers. It was crisp and light on the outside, with a soft airy center, and a bit of a chew. The lasagna bolognese slice was delicious. The meaty bolognese had great flavor. I am a huge fan of fennel sausage, so when every I see it on the menu somewhere, I go for it. The one they make here for their pizza is mild yet tasty. Great Roman Pizza. The staff members were all very upbeat and friendly. They offer inside and outside seating at this location, and in addition the the gelato and taglio pizza, they are also making paninis and burgers. read more

Its advertised as open 11 am on Wednedays but we got there and was told to come back at 1pm. I checked today 3 times to confirm time they open. Its 5pm now and no answer to the phone. When the owner is not present its unreliable. Food excellent when owner present and awesome expresso but last visit not so good, no expesso, food lukewarm and server doesnt speak English and is a lazy SOB. Spends most of his time in the toilet. read more

Their flatbread pizzas are some of my favorite! There is a huge selection to choose from, ranging from your normal to unique slices. I forgot their names, but I tried their slice that had artichokes and spicy salami and a funghi (I think that's how it's spelled) slice. The one with the spicy salami was easily one of my favorites where it had a surprising amount of spice! The pizzas themselves were full of flavor, had an amazing crisp, and nice fluff to the inside. I also tried their slice that had potatoes and that was just as good! Definitely would recommend trying their spicy salami/artichoke slice and ones with potatoes if you wanted to try something different! read more

Very interesting hole in the wall spot. Have rectangle pizza and ice cream on another part. The flavors for the pizza were not ur typical, many italian dry meats and pasta flavors.
