gigi pizzeria

service is ok, not friendly but also not rude, just ok.
prices, average, maybe the spirits are a couple more dollars than the normal but that’s not a big deal.
place is pretty nice, clean and also nice background music.
pizzas are a bit poor looking for me (that’s why my 1.0 review) i love vegan food but wasn’t tasty at all. the dough was a bit raw, sauce was a bit cold, they looked a bit poor, like not enough ingredients, maybe was just not a good day, bad luck for me.
a vegan friend recommended me this place, he loves gigi but i’m pretty sure you can find better vegan options in this area.
i’ll be back at some point and maybe i’ll change my review, but for now can’t recommend this place.

romantically lit yet frantically busy, gigi’s hits all the right spots for anyone looking for a pizza fix. the pumpkin based pizzas are just divine.

i only had gigi as takeaway but i was so impressed. you would never know it is vegan! the pizzas are so full of flavour and really hold that traditional italian pizza style. i had a couple of different types. the potate was divine. i can’t wait to go to the restaurant.

gigis pizzeria was on my list for a very long time. one, because its vegetarian and second, who doesn't like pizzas! it a nice place to go out with friends or even with your partners. we got there by 7 pm and it was packed to the rafters on a weekday. the waiting staff is friendly but wants you to run through your food quickly only because people are waiting. it has nice a cosy ambience. loved the pizzas which were the specials of the day. (photo is added). the marinara tradizionale pizza was nice too. patate pizza didn't quite live up to the expectations. it felt like potatoes from sunday roast  thrown on a pizza with herbs like rosemary and capers. the orders on the neighbouring tables looked mouth watering. i would definitely go back to try out their other items. i want to be left with a satiated gut the next time i visit.

i headed off to sydney last week for a few days, to catch up with some friends and to go to a concert at the opera house. while i was there i ate at a few places ranging from a local sports club, to cafes, some junk food and a stylish pizza place. some are not worth mentioning, but several are, among them gigi the vegan pizza restaurant in newtown.

i went here on the recommendation of a family member, for the first time on sunday evening. i feel loathe to give this place such a good review or i might not be able to get a table back there! what a place. the food is exceptional. i couldn't believe the cheese on the calzone was vegan. the tiramisu was to die for. light and fluffy with an incredible filling. the food was also very filling. the atmosphere is just lovely- warm and welcoming like being at a favourite family member's house for dinner. the night i was there, a diner had a medical emergency. the staff were fantastic as were the clientele with helping someone in distress. i am totally hooked on this place. you have to queue early to get in. a wonderful dining experience all round. lovely people run this place and the atmosphere feels that way.

love this place!  everything is vegan and super tasty. great music too. my only issue is i wish they had gluten free pizza available for coeliacs and they don't take bookings :-(

gigis seems like it is always packed friday & saturday. we came on a friday and had to wait for our entire party of 4 to arrive before we could be seated. but once we were seated and ordered, the food came out almost immediately! service was quick and attentive, although not initially (the place was packed and full). the pizzas were all delicious, packed with flavour on a thin crust pizza. i don't normally eat the crust on pizzas but i did at gigis! the pizzas are so full of favour, you wouldn't even know you were eating all vegan pizzas. absolutely enjoyed gigis and would be visiting again.

always good food. service can be good some nights, and other nights not so good. phoned for a takeaway pizza, walked in to pick up, she took payment - said they wont be long, i waited ten minutes  then asked  if she could check, she found out the pizzas were behind her the whole time and were ready before i paid = i went home with cold pizzas.

gigi pizzeria has to be one of my favourite vegan pizza outlets in sydney. i had the calzone with dairy free ricotta, fried eggplant, basil topped with grated dairy free cheese. this dish was not a part of the main menu but the specials. we also ordered for panelle, which had gave us a good savoury kick start to our meal. just a 2 minute walk from newtown station, this place can get super crowded on weekends. so be early and plan way before time!

gigi did not let us down at all! attentive staffs that were friendly, helpful and not too pushy to hurry us up in spite of the line of people waiting. a really nice atmosphere from inside. my friend and i ordered 2 pizzas to share - one with pumpkins puree, and one with tomato base and eggplant. my goodness, the pizzas brought me right back to napoli. the pizza bases were crisp and true to napoli style, the toppings were generous but not overloaded, and they really do bring vegan food onto another level (i'm certain even our meat eating friends would enjoy them). we were both very happy with our pizzas and did not leave one bit on our plates. we got there around 6pm, so we got a seat quite quickly, but do note that it was already pretty packed by then, and not long after, there was quite a big line waiting to dine there, so get there nice and early! we will definitely come back to try out their other pizzas!

okay so first of all i'm not vegan but i love eating vegetarian and vegan food because those vegans try harder than anyone else to make their food tasty and usually they succeed but rarely do they succeed as highly as gigi's. to take a food as synonymous with meat and dairy as pizza, and veganize it without it sucking is a miracle. gigi's is the total opposite of sucking, and i don't mean blowing, actually i don't know what i mean but the point is it's good. very good. so good that i would even go so far as to put it in my top 10 pizzas in the world and that is saying something because i love pizza.

if there's one thing you do, you get the spinach and ricotta calzone! 🤤😱 it's so good that i get afraid that it won't be on the specials board when i visit each time. the. best!

been here several times during the past two years.
first visited when it wasnt transformed to vegan yet, had some meat pizzas and loved them.
went back with friends for cheese pizzas and really enjoyed them.
went back for another few times again when it became vegan, wasn't disappointed, the awesome flavor was still there!
the pizza base is really nice, and it's the first proper pizza shop i tried in my life. imagine how impressive i felt!
the indoor dinning environment was amazing, with light and music, and the amazing service!
but to fit more dinners, it was quite crowded.

i rarely give 5's because it's hard to be perfect, but gigi pizzeria was nothing short of amazing. i had wanted to try them even before they went vegan, but was glad my first visit was after the switch. they serve some really amazing vegan pizzas, and is a spot i would gladly go back to over and over.

there is everything to love about the crust because it is an absolute killer, so naturally funghi e raddichio and patate were both amazing. however, if you only have the chance to try one pizza, make it patate because you won't regret it. it is one incredible pizza.

at this point i seriously wish i lived in newtown just so i could get gigi's pizza to go on the weekly (whilst also stuffing myself with all the other glorious vegan food newtown has to offer). lucky newtownians.

gigi pizzeria is now a favourite and i intend to be back again and again. you don't need to be vegan or even vegetarian to love this place. just give them a go and you won't regret it.
