By default, gigi will always have a special place in our heart! My wife and I first met in gigi on a first date back in 2016! It has been a while since we dined here, so took a box of Calzone for takeaway. Despite not being eaten straight away at the restaurant, quality is still as good when dined at home. You have us as loyal customers for life!
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 was great and the staff were super friendly.
First time trying vegan pizza , walked past gigi's many many times and vegan pizza just never appealed... until we started receiving a ton of recommendations to go to Gigi's. Seeing people line up for vegan pizza. We were curious. We ordered take away, still busy during covid! We ordered funghi - i preferred this,it was delicious. True wood fire pizza and full of flavour. We also ordered Cavolo - the one with cauliflower puree. My husband preferred this. I found it to be a little bit too salty. We will come back to try their other pizzas!
Everything on the menu sounded so good it was hard to choose but we settled on the arancini balls, fungi pizza and the eggplant pizza. They were all delicious! The food came out quickly considering the restaurant was full.
100% recommend!
Vegan food may be getting up to some rather marvellous things in the last few years, but I’ve always drawn the line at vegan pizza. Surely a dish that mandates the addition of cheese in its most traditional form can’t possibly taste good without it, right? And frankly, if it weren’t for Jan and her recommendation of Gigi Pizzeria, I would’ve gone on happily believing the same forevermore.
There is a MASSIVE difference between Italian and Aussie pizzas, and the pizza at Gigi’s is one of the best.
The key is keep it simple with fresh, natural ingredients and the flavours will speak for themselves.
Authentic methods and ideas makes Gigi’s a true hot spot in Newtown, NSW.
Very nice menu. Would prefer if they could had english translation. I must tell u, the calzone which had the spinach filling was sooo awesome.Best calzone i ever had. But i was bit disappoinred by pizza. It sounded like indian roti with raw veg on top of it. Probably they cud use some soy milk to make it softer n keep it vegan.
There are a few things to love about this place. I absolutely adore that this is a vegan pizzeria that doesn’t really advertise as such. I didn’t see it on the walls of the restaurant, or signage, or the menu. They just happen to not use animal products. Now, I like meat, but I think it’s much healthier for the planet to eat less of it, and for humans to eat less meat than we do. Having a delicious option to meat and not make a fuss about it (and serve negronis and good Italian wine too). Well, that’s worth celebrating.
Have you ever eaten a pizza and felt healthy? This is the place. It would be hard to forget your cherry tomatoes pizza. It's my favourite. And Gigi's salad is so simple yet spectacular. A simple menu, simple presentation, but consistent and quality. The restaurant is always crowded. Good music, good vibe. Highly recommend.
Great place in the heart of Newtown with a cozy and lively evening atmosphere. Had a delicious vegan calzone ,and staff were super friendly and funny ! Will be returning for sure :)
I’m amazed at how good this vegan pizza place is and I’m ready to visit again! Great pizza, great taste, you don’t notice there’s no cheese or meats! My fave was the broccoli and beyond sausage pizza. A little salty but the little balls of “mozzarella” was almost indistinguishable from real cheese. The other 2 pizzas were really good too. I like the crust - nice chew and not too soggy. The appetizers were good too! Arancini was great with the mushroom taste but a little gritty without the cheese. Rosemary focaccia came like flatbread 😅 we thought it was pizza for a while. My only complaint is that we were chased out after 1.5h and we would have loved to stay longer!
Pizza here us fabulous! Had to wait in a line but it was worth it!! The potato pizza was the best! The crust is soft and has a chew. The toppings are full of flavour. Would come here more often if it wasn’t so busy.
Great experience. I don’t think I’d have known it was vegan if you hadn’t told me!
There was lots of variety. We had the arancini ai funghi porcini, gnocchi al forno, lasagne, funghi e radicchio pizza and the sausage and peperoncino pizza. They were all tasty, but the gnocchi was a little heavy and dense and the pizza is Neapolitan-style with a soggy centre. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it! The standout to me was the arancini, which was super crunchy and so fragrant.
For dessert we had the cheesecake and the cannoli. One of those “are you sure this isn’t dairy?” moments.
Staff were so, so lovely - kind and attentive. Covid protocols all observed; doors wide open, staff all masked and order and pay through the app. Would definitely recommend.
My partner and I had the best food here!
I am Italian and the pizza dough is on point! Even better than some pizzeria places back in Italy.
We had the atlantico pizza with plant-based smoked salmon🤤, porcini mushrooms arancini, pizza regina and dessert...of course! We picked cannoli as I have been struggling with finding plant-based versions since becoming vegan. Very similar to the dairy ones and so good!
Will definitely come back. The only downside is that prices are a bit to high.
Amazing food and drinks, we really enjoyed our night out. Pizza is really light, the ingredients are fresh and super tasty. Make sure to try the schiacciata, it's something that only few restaurants make.
About the desert, tiramisu super soft and tasty, it reminded me my mum tiramisù, so good!!!
Nice flavours on the pizza the smell from the truffle potato one was incredible. I just thought the base was really droopy and soggy when you tried to pick it up. For the price ($28 each) I guess I just expected more.
Amazing quality pizza and great customer service. Second pic is the gluten free pizza and it’s folded to make it crispy, the bread is a really good gluten free one. The first pic is the spinach, cauliflower one that was great.
