Oh, Gema Pizzeria, where do I even begin? It's truly a culinary marvel, especially if your frame of reference for'best pizza' is, shall we say, flexible. They claim to bring a slice of Napoli to Montreal, & by golly, they deliver... something.
The pizza, oh, the pizza! It's easily one of the pizzas I've had that was not in Napoli, Italy. A bold statement, I know, but one I stand by. You can absolutely tell the sauce is homemade - it has that unmistakable'someone made this at home' quality. It's truly a testament to the human spirit of trying.
& the meatballs! Ah, the homemade meatballs. They were so generously endowed with Parmesan cheese, it was almost as if they were trying to achieve a new state of matter: cheeseball.'Cheesy meatballs' is an understatement; they were practically a dairy product with a hint of meat. Just amazing. Truly. If you're looking for an experience that will make you question everything you thought you knew about Italian cuisine, Gema Pizzeria is your destination. Five stars for effort, I suppose.View more

Right in the hearth of little Italy, one of my favorite pizza I had in Montreal. Fair price for the quality offered, service was great & quick. Restaurant is on the smaller side so there might be to wait during peek hours but definitely worth it.View more

I visited this restaurant with friends during a hot summer day, & we ordered two pizzas to share. While I've never been to Italy, I've heard from others that this place offers the same quality & taste as authentic Italian pizzas. Even the older couple at the next table mentioned how it tasted just like what you'd get in Italy. I loved it! The portions were good, & the service was fast & friendly. I'll definitely return to try more from the menu next time.View more

Waited 40 minutes for a $24 pizza with "pancetta," which was three slices of what looked like microwave bacon from the grocery store, served by a guy who barely said hello when he took our order & did not check on us afterwards. They were really busy, which I understand, but the price/food quality/service were all lacking. I could forgive one or two (high price, bad service, but good food, for example), but all three were pretty poor.View more

by far the best pizza in town, the sauce is perfectly acidic yet holds the sweet tomato taste, the crust is crispy yet chewy to the bite. No other pizza in town truly offers this level of high quality product. My recommendations is to try the hawaiian which is unlike any pineapple pizza ive ever tasted, slightly spicy, & follow up with a classic margharita 1889. Also a great selection of wine, & private importation that accompany perfect the meal & mood.View more

Gema was recommended to me as the best pizza in little Italy, it didn't disappoint... The pizza was delicious & the ingredients were high quality. Recommended for an authentic napolitain pizzaView more

Very disappointing considering the price. 17$ for about 10 small calamaries & 4 shrimps that are less good than frozen store-bought. 23$+ for average pizzas that took more than 45 minutes to arrive. This is the perfect example of the fact that the amount of stars overrall don't always represent the quality of a place.View more

A little disappointed with their Fior di latte cheese. It was not creamy on the beets salad- dry & lack of dressing. We ordered two pizzas with no meat toppings & the pizzaoilo put prosciutto on one of them. Upon biting on the pizza, we tasted & found the meat which was alarming. On the other side, Staff was willing to change it which is a normal gesture to do since they made the mistake. Service was courteous. Price wise, a little expensive vs quality of the food. All in all, I do not think I would return to this place because I believe there are better good pizza restaurants.View more

It is one of the best pizza restaurants in Montreal, if not THE best. Bottega Pizzaria is really good, too. Two of my favs. Not the average pizza here, it's how pizza should be. The service is amazing. I gave the atmosphere a 3 because I felt cramped & the music is loud, but after a few drinks, it's fine. It's still worth sitting on uncomfortable chairs & getting stoned from the loud music for the quality of the pizza you are getting. The appetizers are really good but a little stingy on the calamari portion 😄.View more

Quality pizza. Very quality. Absolutely the best crust. We had arancini to start, then him & I shared a pizza & a salad. The salad was very fresh & pizza was perfectly cooked. We asked for a pizza cooked more on the crispy side of things. It was delicious. Most of all, the service was above & beyond what we usually get in restaurants these days. It was a very professional lady brunette that served us Tuesday night. Many thanks.View more

Borderline pizza quality Sparkling wine served too warm 2 pizzas, 1 bottle of average quality wine, 2 small ice cream dessert, 180$ including service (15%). A TOTAL RIPOFF.

Was there in July 2017, party of 2. Ordered drinks, wine, appetizers & entrees & desserts. Cocktails were the high note. Food is made up of high quality ingredients. There is just not enough of them in every dished. Barely no octopus in the octopus salad. Barely no mozzarella di buffala on our pizza (literally had to look for it). Same for every serving
Was there early in the evening - no rush. The servers didn't even inform us of items not on the regular menu. Seated outside, there was no way to find out.
We like Stefano quite a bit but were very disappointed this time. There are many other "higher" end pizzerias in Montreal. Will not be coming back here
