Review Summary

Gema Pizzeria is frequently described as a top-tier destination in Montreal, with many patrons praising the creative, authentic pizzas, high-quality ingredients, and standout desserts like the ice cream. While many guests enjoy the cozy atmosphere and friendly, professional service, experiences regarding noise levels, wait times, and meal consistency vary significantly. Some diners report exceptional, perfectly cooked crusts and flavorful salads, while others have expressed disappointment with occasional issues such as overcooked or raw dough, rubbery textures, or inattentive service. Pricing and the default tip percentages on payment terminals are also noted as points of contention for some customers, though many continue to recommend the restaurant as a staple for a delicious, neighborhood-feel dining experience in Little Italy.

We ordered the Emilio & the Capriciossa. The Emilio was one of the most disappointing pizzas we've had. There were 4 sad pieces of meat, unnoticeable amount of cream, & filled with mushrooms. I might as well have sautéed some mushrooms myself, added it on some bread, added some ham & got it to taste no worse than what we were given. The capriciossa was better, but it'd be an achievement if they made something worse.

Très bonne adresse ! Les pizzas sont copieuses, authentiques, avec des ingrédients de qualités. Nous avons commandé des pizzas assez simples mais quel délice ! L'endroit est très cozy, également chaleureux grâce au personnel. On y retournera !

Deuxième fois à ce restaurant, après une première expérience réussie sur en terrasse. Cette fois-ci nous avons mangé à l'intérieur, où l'ambiance est bien sur le plan de l'éclairage (clin d'oeil aux dames qui ont eu besoin leur flash light pour parvenir à lire le menu) & de la musique. Par contre, les tables sont beaucoup trop entassées & la salle devient extrêmement bruyante : on a du mal à parler, le serveur peine à nous entendre. C'est rare que je suis inconfortable dans un restaurant, mais je l'étais. Les entrées étaient trop chères & plutôt décevantes, & la pizza sauce tomate qu'on nous a servie était complètement détrempée. Au prix des items sur le menu, malgré que j'avais apprécié ma première visite, je ne pense pas y retourner.
