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.

Very disappointed...I am Italian & the only'authenticiy' (tourists are desperate to find) is the location in little Italy...
The pizza is ridiculously small & outrageously expensive, even for Montreal standards...
Staff is nice though, & location is great.

The terrace is nice in summer, but inside the restaurant it was very crowded & noisy. The pizzas are really good specially Apenine.

I am so happy that I randomly chose Gema to stop & eat something.
To start, I took the Roman style fried rice croquettes, a bit expensive but worth it! I don't usually like arancini, but at Gema, they know what they are doing. It was delicious!
As for the pizza, I ordered pizza RULIANO & it was OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD!!! It has melted leaks, prosciutto,Fontina on a perfectly baked & charred dough. It's what pizza dreams are made of.
I can't wait to go back & try the rest of the pizzas & reorder Ruliano.
Ouh & they have delicious ice custard that is full of flavor & not too sweet. So refreshing. Love this place!
PS: great service from the manager Adrien.

Oh, Gema Pizzeria, where do I even begin? It's truly a culinary marvel, especially if your frame of reference for'best pizza' is, shall we say, flexible. They claim to bring a slice of Napoli to Montreal, & by golly, they deliver... something.

The pizza, oh, the pizza! It's easily one of the pizzas I've had that was not in Napoli, Italy. A bold statement, I know, but one I stand by. You can absolutely tell the sauce is homemade - it has that unmistakable'someone made this at home' quality. It's truly a testament to the human spirit of trying.

& the meatballs! Ah, the homemade meatballs. They were so generously endowed with Parmesan cheese, it was almost as if they were trying to achieve a new state of matter: cheeseball.'Cheesy meatballs' is an understatement; they were practically a dairy product with a hint of meat. Just amazing. Truly. If you're looking for an experience that will make you question everything you thought you knew about Italian cuisine, Gema Pizzeria is your destination. Five stars for effort, I suppose.
