Review Summary

Gema Pizzeria is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic Italian-style pizza, with many patrons praising the high quality of the ingredients, the perfectly blistered crusts, and creative menu options like the Vetri and Ruliano pizzas. The restaurant offers a cozy and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that many find charming, complemented by a solid selection of wines and exceptional desserts, particularly the gelato. While the majority of diners report professional and friendly service, some experiences are marred by inconsistent wait times, occasional issues with ingredient balance or oiliness, and a high noise level that can make conversation difficult. Although the pricing is considered premium, most guests view it as a worthwhile spot for a quality meal, despite a few isolated complaints regarding delivery services and service attentiveness.

We've come here many times enjoying authentic Italian dishes . This time was disappointing . What I ordered was good, however my husband's Caesar salad was made with folia lettuce & a watery dressing. Second mistake was serving the calamari with a raw tomato In a cup. My daughter's pizza was burnt, & the octopus in the octopus salad was rubbery. It can happen to have an off night in the kitchen however, there are certain rules that should not be broken. For this reason, we will not be returning, unfortunately.

Pizzas were good, nicely cooked.
The Caesar salad was a bit underwhelming, too lemony & the dressing was watery, it could've been a bit creamier.
Overall pretty good

Very disappointed my pizza was tough the dough is nothing like what it use to be. Before like a freshly baked naan, soft, pulls apart easily ours was tough the whole table was shaking while we tried to cut it . Hope it's a one time thing.i will go back but if it happens again means truly the dough is not the same at all. Toppings excellent , good service +atmosphere. Waiter gifted me my dessert because I did tell him & he said could see on my plate all the burnt parts of my pizza.

One of the best pizzerias in Montreal, the only reason why i'm removing a star is the awful delivery service through Skip the Dishes, if the restaurant worked with Uber Eats we would be ordering more often from them. Exceptionally good pizzas & desserts, & a lovely restaurant for intimate dinners.
