BIG news, Encinitas! 🍕🍺🍷 B**R & W**E HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED!
Starting tomorrow, you can finally pair your favorite Gelati & Peccati slice with a cold b**r or a glass of w**e. 🙌
And we’re kicking things off with $5 b**rs + $7 glasses of w**e with the purchase of any pizza slice.

Help us support one of our own. Our Gelati & Peccati family needs our community. ❤️
Hailey has been a part of our team for the past two years, and right now, her family is going through something unimaginable.
Her brother, Finn, suffered a severe spinal cord injury in an accident while working as a lifeguard. He has undergone emergency spinal surgery and has a long road of rehabilitation and recovery ahead of him.
We’ve always felt incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such a supportive San Diego community, and today we’re asking that community to rally around one of our own.
If you’re able to donate, any amount can make a difference for Finn and his family as they navigate the months ahead. And if you aren’t able to donate, sharing his story is just as meaningful.
Let’s show Hailey and her family some love. ❤️
