Dough to die for - Edit
Gigi's pizzas are, quite simply, a revelation. It's always busy, which is testament to how good the pizzas are. It is in fact a little too busy and noisy for my liking, so I've taken to dropping in quickly to grab takeaway. Whenever I am faced with the decision of choosing where to eat with someone who is not vegan, this is one of my go to places for a casual but memorable bite. Be prepared to queue for a table, that's how busy it gets. But it's worth the wait and you'll forget that you ever did the moment you sink your teeth into that fresh-out-of-the-oven piping hot pizza dough. Not to overlook the toppings (they are all carefully thought out, deliciously balanced and well-paired ingredients), but there's something very special about Gigi's pizza dough – you can read about it on their website. Once you've had it, no other pizza crust will ever be quite as good.

One of the best vegan pizza places I’ve been - Edit
I had the focaccia to start, and it was delicious and salty. But the star was my melazane (ie aubergine) pizza. The most pleasant surprise was the tree nuts ricotta. It had a great taste and texture, and I don’t tend to like v-cheese. The cannoli was fine, but its vanilla custard filling left something to be desired. I’d choose a different dessert next time.

Authentic Italian - Edit
The pizzas could not be more authentic Italian, altough a little bit too oily for me. A place where you could easily bring a meat eater and would not be able to tell that the everything is vegan. The place does not really advertise itself vegan, hard to spot anywhere even on the menu which I am not sure how I feel about.. I came in 30mins before closing; staff seemed tired and just wanted to finish for the day. Tiramisu was ok, cannelloni with vanilla was amazing!

Gigi’s, for lack of a better word is good. Read review for a touching tale. - Edit
Very very good in fact.
Read moreDespite being a harsh critic myself i would go so far as to say it’s incredible.
Let’s begin at the start my friends. And allow me a few minutes of your time to prove to you how amazing this pizzeria is.
It’s been a family tradition that the person who’s birthday it is gets to choose somewhere to eat and there had been no problem with this until my first birthday as a vegan where my older brother refused to go Gigi’s (a place i had found on the internet, probably under: ‘vegan places’).
After a week of searching i had settled upon this place due to the integrity of its owner who had risked going from an ordinary but very successful pizzeria to completely vegan overnight due to the change in his own morals. Something i sympathised with. However my brother rejected this apparently forced ‘dietary’ dinner with screams, tears and shouts. Saying i was forcing my views down this throat, apparently quite literally.
My dear parents tried all the parenting tack tics in the book and eventually, a very red eyed and grumpy brother walked into Gigi’s refusing to eat. Despite this we ordered for him and within half an hour he had started nibbling at a calazone half heartedly.
Cut to the chase, half a year later on his 15th birthday, my still meat eating brother announced to the family that we would be attending Gigi’s for his birthday dinner, breaking the 5 year tradition of a takeaway thai in a park.
And takeaway thai in a park is pretty [censored] good - but Gigi’s is better than good.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Great Pizza - Edit
We had such a nice diner at Gigi’s. The 2 appetizers we tried were very good as well as the Pizzas. Would love to have a restaurant like that where we live. Service was also super friendly.

Best pizza ever! - Edit
Yum, yum and yum! This pizza is so authentic and the flavours are perfect. I didn't even know i liked blue cheese until I tried it here. It's great to see an all vegan pizzeria absolutely buzzing and keeping it real. You must try this!

The pizza dream - Edit
I never thought I’d have pizza worthy enough to be in the same league as I had in Naples, until I had Gigi’s. Tried the spinach calzone (the ricotta is unreal 👌🏼) and the Regina pizza.
Read morePros: No delivery, but pick up available , Nicely dimmed, chilled vibe - great for dates ❤️, Free monkey nuts while waiting!

I can understand why people rave about this place - Edit
I was by myself but I was determined to eat an entire pizza. I had the one with mushrooms on it and it was so delicious that I did manage to eat it by myself.i arrived very soon after opening so I was able to get a table but it did get busy quickly. I also wanted to try the tiramisu and it was delicious too. I’ll have to visit again next time I’m in Sydney

BEST PIZZA EVER - Edit
Think this was the best pizza I’ve ever had. We had the almond coated potato croquettes, melanzane, the patate and tiramisu. All was amazing but the pizza was so delicious and flavourful. The bases were thin and beautifully cooked and the toppings were like a flavour explosion with each mouthful 😍 staff are very attentive and friendly, recommended us where to go for a drink in the area. Plays really good music and nice cocktails as well.

Fantastic pizzeria - Edit
A buzzy vibe with efficient and friendly service and food that comes out quick even when the place is full. Love the potato croquettes coated in almonds, the chickpea crisps and the pizzas: I tried the Funghi and Radicchio, the Regina and the Peperone Rosso and all were delicious. The pizza base is so important and this place gets it right!

I can’t believe that’s not cheese on my pizza - Edit
Best pizza in Sydney. And vegan.
Read moreTheir plant-based cheeses are unbelievably good, and really set these pizzas off.
Also the best tiramisu I have ever had.
Will continue to come back time and time again.
