What an amazing evening we had at the new Pizzeria Gema in Little Italy, I had the margherita pizza, delicious, fresh tomato sauce, cheese & basil, the dough was divine, one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time (Bottega's pizza is really good too). The service was just as top notch, nothing more to say. I will surely be back many many more times. Little Italy is starting to be worth visiting again.

Pas encore au point, laissons la chance au coureur. Mais quand on paie 17$ plus taxes, pour une petite pizza, on s'attend à presque la perfection. Surtout avec Stefano Faita comme propriétaire.... la rançon de la gloire.
Garnitiure mal réparti, concentré sur un côté de la pizza. Croute blanche, manque de cuisson. Pointe un peu molle qui ne se tient pas, mais produits de qualité, fraîcheur au rendez-vous, c'est clair. Avons commandé au comptoir pour apportez, voulions des breuvages pour ccompagner la pizza, mais il n'y en avait pas !? Bon un dépanneur n'était pas loin. Mais il faut être positif, tout ne peut que s'améliorer, nous laisserons passer quelques semaines pour le rodage & nous retenterons l'expérience !

Went to the newly opened GEMA pizzeria this Friday what a disappointment. All was not lost, the flavor indicated fresh genuine products, the dough was quite tasty if you like to eat dough but the toppings were scarce.
The rapini & sausage pizza had a sprinkling of rapini, very much like a sprinkling of parsley & a few bits of sausage & no olives.
The zucchini flower pizza was tasty but with too much dough & few toppings.
The porchetta ( Impasto )pizza quite original & tasty but at $17, all daugh & a few bits of porchetta at the center.

For appetizers ( $9 a pop) we had the classic fried calamari which were OK. The sausage with peperonata again a disappointment 4 pieces (I counted them)of sausage one inch in length that comes to $2.25 an inch. I happened to look at the next table which also had an order of sausage & to my surprise the appetizer plate was filled to the rim with sausage. Maybe one has to know someone to get a larger portion !

We ended the meal with the home made ice cream, which was very good.
Would I go back? Probably not, costs too much dough for a lot of dough.

I haven't tried GEMA yet but plan to, are you the Nicola Travaglini of said store next to the JTM? If so you shouldn't be talking about price of pizza as you wayyyy over charge for your slap pizza. It's very good but very overpriced.

Hello Mr. Stew, Thank you for the comment. Let me assure you that I am not the Nicola Travaglini with the store by the Jean-Talon market we just share a common name and yes I share your views about how expensive his pizza is. His pizza is original and tasty but a little heavy on the price. Did u try his porchetta sandwich good value for the price. Ciao
