gigi pizzeria

gigi was better before it joined the latest vegan fad of the neighbourhood. it's clearly a business decision, as no pizza business owner would suddenly stop eating meat. thepizzasare still good, but unfortunately no longer fills the stomach and thus can't justify the premium.

love thepizzashere! 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 orderpizzasand not entrees. a great dinner though!

beautiful. we didnt know about this place at all. walking pass last sunday night we were just shocked when we saw the line to get in and as we were looking for a place to have dinner ,of course we thought we give it a go and wait for a table too.
well, so happy we did! thepizzaswere so good,service excellente and the wine even better! see you soon again gigi

really nothing special. pizza was good, not the best i ate in sydney, but good, much more naples's style than most of the pizzerias around, but the service and the ambient was quite weird..
no ingredient for the 3pizzaswe've chosen, mozzarella and bruschetta quite bad, guys on the floor and in the bar really unprepared, service was awful.
seems really they don't put any love in what they're doing.
goodbye

just amazing pizza made with love and skills!
my personal opinion all thepizzasare super good but my favorite is the one with cavolo.

remember to save some little space for desserts which are incredible.

i love this place.

service very slow 30 minutes for a couple ofpizzasis not good - even if they look good!

whoah, this is some seriously good pizza! as a huge pizza fan and a vegetarian, i was delighted to go to a pizza restaurant where i had so many delicious options to chose from. thepizzascame out very quickly and were incredible tasty - pillowy pizza crust and flavourful fresh toppings. i would say their pizza is on par with lucio pizzeria in darlinghurst (although more adventurous, which i liked), which is a huge compliment. my advice would be to definitely get there before opening time though - i arrived a few minutes before 6pm on a friday when they opened and joined the quickly-forming queue to get straight in (and felt rather smug when i saw the size of the queue by the time i left!). can't wait to go back!

really good food but,
the service was the worst i’ve ever experienced. waiters were impatient, edgy and rude. the way they placed our items on the table was very harsh i felt like the plates are gonna break on me. the waiter who brought our food just put it all hastily said the names in italian (which none of us spoke) and rushed off before we can ask what’s what. when the second round of food came he didn’t even bother saying the names he just placed them on the table, very awkwardly positioned on top of each other and left. they got bothered when we asked for tomato sauce or ketchup, they said they’re italians and have only italian sauces??!? we did inform the manager who seemed like he didn’t want to be informed because after every remark i’d make he would go back to speaking about food quality disregarding staff quality. when asked why is it that it’s all men that work there the guy sarcastically said “because women are meant to stay home”. i kind of accepted the sarcasm but after seeing the attitudes of the waiters and the negativity coming out of them while serving us, i highly doubt it was sarcasm in the first place.
every time our plates our empty they’d come ask if they can take them when in fact our cutlery was still positioned in a way that the reflects that we are still eating - someone should teach them etiquette of eating.
at the end of our dinner, after they’ve taken away almost everything on the table a friend of mine was still eating and there was still a fair amount of food in her plate and her cutlery still signaled that she’s eating and the waiter still stuffed his fingers across the food and took the plate without asking. she called him back and he put it back without apologizing but she was too disgusted by the way his hands touched the food and by the service itself that she couldn’t finish eating.

the good and the meh:
thepizzasand the calezone were amazing. the arancinis were overrated. the prices are bit above average considering what goes into the pizza.

awesome vegan restaurant with delicious wood fired pizza!! loved the crust and flavours of everything on thepizzasbut 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 was great and the staff were super friendly.

the pizza base was on the chewy side for this kind, otherwise it was good. i wasn't game to try any with the cheese substitutes so i got the potato one and it had a lot of potato and strong flavours, although the bigger toppings were thrown about haphazardly, making it harder to eat. the pizza price is in line with other goodpizzasbut the sides were very expensive and not even very good. in particular, the minuscule serve of tiramisu was very boring - it seemed like the cream substitute worked well but they seriously skimped on the coffee and alcohol and anything else that normally goes into it.

delicious veganpizzaswith superb pizza base. small range of food on the menu, but done well. pizza base was thin and light. we started with arancini balls which were really tasty. the highlights for our group was the pizzas, and my favs were the cavolo and patate.

great ambiance that’s good for big groups but average pizza and service. however, the price was very reasonable. we had a bottle of wine and 3pizzasand it came down to ~25 pp. we had:
1. funghi e raddicchio: 3/5. this one was quite disappointing as mushrooms are usually my favorite. it came with blue cheese which to be fair, was very clearly written on the menu. i guess someone who’s a bigger blue cheese fan would appreciate it more but i thought that mushrooms go much better with truffle oil than blue cheese. also, there was barely any mushrooms on the topping.
2. cavolo: 4.5/5. this one is my favorite! well seasoned and very tasty.
3. asparagus: 3.5/5. this one was surprisingly good. i’ve never really had asparagus onpizzasbefore and it’s very refreshing. however, could have come with more asparagus.

👍🏼- all i can say is wow! i’ve never had pizza as amazing as this. this rustic, chic vegan pizzeria is buzzing with energy and i honestly understand why! theirpizzasare phenomenal and their desserts are no exception. the menu is traditional and authentic despite being all vegan. as a vegan restaurant, their non dairy cheeses are one of the best and hard to replicate; i’ve never had cheese as delicious. we ordered mixed marinated olives and arancini as entrees, quite nice but nothing to rave about. their patate pizza was my favourite, absolute hit. also, vegan cannoli ? yes please. so good. i’m so appreciative of the time and effort that goes into their food; its honestly incredible. staff are super friendly and attentive; and always going out of their way to assist you no matter how busy it is.


👎🏻- the space is quite small and you will be waiting for quite a while as there is a line out the door on most occasions; have been left waiting for over an hour outside which i would never usually do but for the food here; so worth it. also, it is pricey for a group so be prepared; however for the quality ingredients i think it’s fair, some may disagree.

food: 5/5 !!!!
presentation: 4/5
service: 5/5
location: 3/5

i am certainly not opposed to the idea of veganpizzasand thepizzashere are definitely premium and quality. however the fact is that the taste simply does not compare. absolute must visit if you are vegan, but for the rest of us there's not much to make gigi's stand out above the crowd with the crazy abundance of good italian around.

just when you thought that you couldn’t get any more creative with your gourmetpizzasgigi pizzeria at enmore will surprise you! i don’t eat potatoes just because of carbohydrates but i wish that you tried the patate pizza with a generous sprinkle of black truffle pate. gigi’s puts the g in gourmet pizza!
