Impasto's owners, Stefano Faita and Michele Forgione are bringing their culinary skills to their new pizzeria called GEMA (an acronym for their children's names). The establishment serves fresh pizzas and decadent desserts.
Across the reviews, Gema Pizzeria is consistently praised for delicious pizza with a blistered crust and well balanced toppings, a warm casual vibe, and a strong wine and antipasti lineup, with the Jean Talon market salad standing out for freshness; the atmosphere and service are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, though some visits note undercooked crust in the center, overly oily slices, uneven toppings, long waits or noisy, crowded rooms, and occasional value concerns at higher prices, leading to a generally enjoyable yet sometimes mixed experience that leaves many guests eager to return.
Great pizzeria with fresh ingredients, fast & friendly service. Very cute environment & welcoming. Went early so it was not full yet but I can see that it can get loud when full.
Heylala, on a choisi ce resto pour la première fois pcq notre resto pref, jusqu'à ce moment, était fermé sur l'heure du dîner. MAINTENENT, GEMA PIZZERIA est notre resto de pizza pref.. tellement bonne 😀 & la salade césar ayayaye! Que de saveur! Je n'ai pas mis 4 étoiles pcq vous êtes si loin de Piedmont.. nous serions chez vous chaque semaine sinon! Le jeune homme qui a fait le service était gentil.. les cafés excellents.. jai demandé un flat White, le garçon a cherché la recette en ligne & me l'a préparé.. trop bon 😋 on s'habille le coeur pour la prochaine visite. Merci a bientôt 👋🏻

This is the second time in a row that the central one-third of the crust of my pizza was undercooked - virtually raw. At $25 (before taxes), one accepts better.

A good little pizza spot with tasty food, a solid wine selection & friendly staff.
The crust was delicious & nicely blistered, however the toppings didn't quite come together for me. The balsamic vinegar on the fior di latte, micro arugula, & prosciutto pizza felt like a note that pulled the balance off, at least for me.
The Jean Talon market salad however, had me singing. It was fresh & vibrant - especially impressive in the middle of January. I would absolutely recommend the salad.
The tiramisu fell a bit flat for me. I was really hoping for more intensity & flavor.
The atmosphere hit all the markers of a casual neighborhood pizza spot. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stop.
