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.

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 😄.

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.

Great pizza & frozen custard but the space is very small & the tables are close together.

Définitivement la meilleure pizza à Montréal ! La Apennine est clairement ma préférée, mais elles sont toutes aussi délicieuses les unes que les autres !

5 star food & great service, group of 4 & we tried a bit of everything all the food is amazing. The only problem, chaos trying to order as its unbearably loud. The music is wonderful & all but the peace between songs was the only chance to hear the person in-front of you with out screaming.

Merveilleuse place! x Plus que recommandé!
L’accueil, la nourriture, la carte des vins : meilleure pizzéria de l’île!
Je recommande La Juliano : une surprenante & délicieuse pizza reprenant une fondue de poireaux avec jambon spec effiloché!
Pour le cocktail : Pompelmo Spritz! - les serveurs peuvent aussi confectionner des cocktails sur demande / selon les goûts de chacun!
Pour le vin : Maison Ayunta, délicieux blanc (rouge également dispo 😋).
C’est rendu un casual rdv!
Nb : la sauce piquante maison est juste parfaite!
A bon entendeur x amateur de pizzeria hors des sentiers battues!

Pizza crust is light, chewy, very thin but just enough to hold the toppings nicely. The sauce doesn't overpower the cheese & vice versa. The crust-to-sauce ratio is perfect, & the choice of toppings works well together.
In short, this is how good pizzas should be.
