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.
Une très belle place pour manger de délicieuses pizzas! Le service était sympathique également. Seulement petit point négatif, c'était fort bruyant & on devait presque crier pour s'entendre! Mais je recommande pour la nourriture!
Plusieurs fois à cet endroit réparti sur plusieurs années La qualité de la nourriture ne se dément pas Tout était excellent Bon service Réservation recommandée
Les 5 étoiles les plus faciles que j'ai déjà donné. Après une seule visite c'est devenu notre pizzeria préférée au Quebec. Pizza Apennine à ne pas rater (à partager puisque c'est quand même lourd seul) & on a adoré la Affumicata. $50/personne après tax & tips pour 1 pizza & 1 verre, ce qui est extrêmement acceptable vu la qualité des ingrédients. Service impeccable. À très bientôt.
I visited this restaurant with friends during a hot summer day, & we ordered two pizzas to share. While I've never been to Italy, I've heard from others that this place offers the same quality & taste as authentic Italian pizzas. Even the older couple at the next table mentioned how it tasted just like what you'd get in Italy. I loved it! The portions were good, & the service was fast & friendly. I'll definitely return to try more from the menu next time.

J'ai adoré les vins qui m'ont été recommandés! Pizza bonne comme toujours. Ambiance cozy, toujours rempli. Je suggère au resto de revoir l'ambiance musicale, je pense qu'il y a une belle opportunité :)
Best best best pizza in Montreal in my opinion. Live in the neighborhood so I go very often & it never disappoints. Cozy vibe in winter & cheerful in the summer (with the terrasse). Best place for dates (trust me)!
Waited 40 minutes for a $24 pizza with "pancetta," which was three slices of what looked like microwave bacon from the grocery store, served by a guy who barely said hello when he took our order & did not check on us afterwards. They were really busy, which I understand, but the price/food quality/service were all lacking. I could forgive one or two (high price, bad service, but good food, for example), but all three were pretty poor.

Meilleur pizza de Montréal, comme si on mélange le meilleur de Napoli avec le meilleur du Québec. Mais la musique est toujours tellement forte que on dois crier & pas même comprendre le service...
