Gigi Pizzeria — Restaurant in Sydney

Everyone shall try this wonderful pizza place. Doesn’t matter whether you are Vegan or non-vegan. If you had all those brand pizzas before, you would find yourself the way what pizza really means. Amazing speed from the ordering till you are served. It has over turn your concept from a slow wood fire pizza to a modern stone roasted wood fire pizza, given the fact that all pizzas are hand made on your order. Regina To find out if they are good, best to start with their attitude towards the simplest. The base: all the middle parts are soft not crust. It has been a gorgeous experience when the San Marzano tomato, tree nuts ricotta is blended so well with the soft base. The thin (only 5 mm I think) and soft base has given exactly what you want for the bedding. Cherry tomatoes are cooked just in time to naturally appear on top. Parmesan, mozzarisella mixed was deliberately large dropped on top. They are warm, very tasty, work together with the others. The pizza was not just right salt level for me (I don’t like salty at all). Right oil for me as well (I don’t like oily either). The edge: Balloon is the word for the edge. Yes. That’s correct. The dough is hollow inside and soft crust outside. What a great pizza. This simplest has mark the high cooking skill of chef. That brings me a great pizza experience. Calzone con Melanzane This pizza let you discover there is sweetness in eggplant. It brought out the fresh and natural sweet from eggplant when the hot pizza was presented. Mushroom are sliced in the right thickness and cooked in the right time. Juicy mushroom, bit sweet eggplant, together with ricotta, san Marzano tomato and parmesan define how perfect a real vegan pizza should be. Religious may ask the Restaurant to remove onion and garlic from this pizza when cooking. In my opinion, it tastes better...

Things got off to a bad start when we sat down! We had to use that wretched QR code, and not only that, we had to pay for the meal before we even received our food! This is an unacceptable practice now that the pandemic is behind us! The only reason we can think of that a restaurant would do this is because previous customers had walked out with paying, and once you have read this review, you will understand why! This initial experience left a bad taste in our mouths, and unfortunately, the taste didn't get any better! We have to say, this was one of the worst pizzas we have ever had. The toppings were acceptable, but the base was dry, flavourless, and its texture was unappetising! Any local Italian pizza restaurant in your local area would be superior! New York City is littered with pizza restaurants and places where you can pick up a single slice. The worst slice there is better than a slice here! The toppings didn't really mingle with each other either, and we are not sure whether this was down to incompetence or lack of experience. We were given a glass of wine but sent it back, and to their credit, they replaced it with a fresher and more appetising glass! The staff were friendly an̈d pleasant, and this was the highlight of the night! The rocket and walnut salad had some nice ingredients, but there was no dressing to speak of and sat alongside the pizza as another dry contender! The tirumisu was also dry and virtually inedible and competed with the pizza as one of the worst! The place was not booming by any stretch, and now we know why. Management needs to take a long, hard look at themselves and bring in a pizza maker who knows what they are doing! All restaurants have bad nights, but this was...

Disappointed I have to write this review but I need to share my experience dining here last night. Being Italian myself it's hard to come across a nice Italian restaurant as my expectations are very high but this place impressed me. I found this place right before Covid lockdown hit this year, I was so excited to come back to eat after having a great first experience. Small businesses took a massive hit this year and I wanted to support these struggling restaurants, however the service we got was a bit strange. The lady who greeted us wanted my friend and I to sit on these high bar tables crammed into a corner with 6 other people, I asked if we could sit on an eye-level table instead, considering there was so many empty tables. She said she would wait for the people to leave and clear the table for us. The said people left, I walked over to wait near the table and another waitress came over to greet us to which I said the lady was already clearing a table for us. That said lady came over to me and said "I said I would come grab you when the table is free", I told her I was happy to stand and wait. We finally got our table and ordered. We had the Gnocchi Al Forno, melanzane pizza and pomodoro salad with some red wine. The pizza and pomodoro salad were great, however I don't think the gnocchi was cooked properly, half of it was still doughy and the sauce was kinda cold. At one point during the night, she tried to take our plate which still had food on it. I felt the waitress was giving us attitude and I got a vibe of "hurry up and eat and get out of here". I don't want to deter people from eating here but the experience left a bitter taste in my mouth so I'm unsure If I...
