gigi pizzeria

love the pizzas here! there always seem to be a line outside as well so must be a favourite. we ordered two entrees: potato croquettes and garlic bread. both were okay, nothing amazing. the croquettes needed a sauce i think. the mains on the other hand are divine. we ordered the cavolo and melanzane pizza. the cavolo was my absolute favourite, it had a cauliflower purée which was so tasty. the pizza dough was also great, and cooked perfectly. nice and thin base with thick edges. if i were to return, i would probably just order pizzas and not entrees. agreatdinner though!

i m p r e s s e d !!!!. it has been over two years that all my friends talk very highly about gigi and i finally had the chance to try for my self. the pizza was the best i ever tried but what really impressed me it was thegreatvibe they have created. the music and the service from the moment we were greeted to the moment we left,all great. i wish i'd live closer so i could come more often.

awesome vegan restaurant with delicious wood fired pizza!! loved the crust and flavours of everything on the pizzas but the tomato based pizza we got had way too much sauce on it which made the base way too soggy to pick up. otherwise, experience overall wasgreatand the staff were super friendly.

high-quality food with a lovely atmospheric vibe.greatstaff and delicious pizzas. recommend this for any vegans looking for a yummy bite to eat.

hands down my favourite pizzeria in sydney.
i absolutely love all of their pizzas, the flavour combinations are amazing. their cannoli isgreattoo!

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

i must admit i was sceptical - vegan pizza? good vegan pizza? how can such a thing possibly exist? but it does, and i was pleasantly surprised i have to say. the bases were thin, dry and crusty with agreatpuff on the edges. plenty of char from the wood fired oven. we tried a couple, including ripieno zucca e spinaci  ($24) - think pumpkin, swiss brown mushrooms, spinach and roasted cherry tomatoes. was delicious. peperone rosso ($22) was alsogreatwith a salty hit of capers and olive tapenade. the cavolo ($22) with cauliflower puree, artichokes, pinenuts sounded very promising, but was the only mis-step of the night. something about the artichokes - i believe the vinegar - was overpowering, even sour. i don't know if they're done in-house, but i doubt it. otherwise everything was great. and if you're wondering how pizza can possibly taste good without cheese? simple - agreatbase covered in quality olive oil. everything else is a bonus : )

great pizza,greatambience, and lovely, helpful staff. we tried the potato pizza with truffle pate, followed by an incredible tiramisu, and i think i will be fantasising about both for days. truly the place to bring any meat-eating friends who are skeptical of vegan food - gigi's really knocks it out of the park. keen to go back and try some of the other options on the menu!

amazing vegan pizza with agreatatmosphere, this place is always busy and for very good reasons. my only complaint was the rocket and apple salad we ordered. it was very bland and underwhelming, which you would not expect from a vegan restaurant.

this place is something special. if i ever decide to indulge on something, especially pizza, i want it to be more than worth it - this went way above my expectations and it was that much more special because it's vegan. you don't need to be vegan to appreciate the flavors and authentic original italian pizza bases. the best italian dessert that happens to be vegan too, the tiramisu is the real deal. the managers made extra effort to ensure we had a top experience, very welcoming gentlemen. there is agreatvibey atmosphere and a long line to get in so come early. worth the mission to newtown, a must in sydney.

gigi's is ruined !!!!!!

it was my favourite pizzeria in all of sydney, which is a huge thing because pizza is my up-most favourite food and i would be a regular until they decided to turn hipster and copy the 'newtown' trend.

ruined such agreatrestaurant.
still confused why something going strong and amazing would turn vegan....

normally i love gigi's but definitely won't be back...

who changes their menu to all vegan?!

there are enough vegan restaurants in newtown...
and pizza vegan options as well!

we're so disappointed, and the service is normally ok for me (they're a little blunt sometimes, but never as awful as some people have stated on here.)

but to change their full menu to vegan just really disappointed me.

p.s.greatcustomer experience at via napoli and no sh*tty service.
friendly, happy and energetic staff.

went here almost weekly for years. the pizza isgreatbut the service was always rude. we stopped going when one time the chefs knocked off a pizza stand onto our table, spilling red wine all over my wife, and the chefs blamed us! we moved that stand because no wait staff moved it even though there was no more room on the table to eat our meals. spent the rest of the meal eating our food that was swimming in red wine. no replacement food, no clean up, and had to pay full price on the bill.

good food isn't worth being treated like dirt.

what happened gigi. our favourite pizza place. how to stuff a pizza. no cheese and no meat. such a shame. have to find a newgreatpizza joint now !

excellent for the food alone. the best vegan meal we've had, worth the wait on the sidewalk queuing outside. wouldn't want to come here if the main purpose was to communicate with a meal, loud music and seating for 2 on opposite sides of a table, which means talking even louder in very close proximity to the parties on either side. the venue is so dimly lit, myself and other patrons use the torch on their iphones to read the menu. while lining up outside in the queue patrons are standing right next to where staff come out for break to puff on cigarettes, with no choice but to breathe it in. they also do cc surcharge of over a dollar which i find quite odd given the electronic age we live in. besides all that, the food isgreatand worth it!
