Packin' the Heat

Hunting & Gathering

What’s hotter than pizza at Il Panificio? The stuffed, spicy green peppers behind the counter requires a cold glass of water snuff out the flames in your mouth. This powerhouse of pizza may specialize in the New York style pizza, but next time take a walk on the wild side and take a peek at what the deli offers. Specifically, the Italian pepperoncini peppers stuffed with provolone and proscuitto. If you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen with this one—your tastebuds will set fire after one bite of these spicy stuffed peppers. However, the strangely satisfying burning sensation gets complemented by the cold and salty combination of authentic Italian proscuitto and chunky, smooth provolone.

Il Panificio, 6644 Gateway Ave., Sarasota, 941-925-2313; 1703 Main St., Sarasota, 941-921-5570.
