I ordered a 10-inch vegetarian pizza along with French fries, & it completely exceeded my expectations! Even though it was a small pizza, it was generously loaded with fresh green olives, capsicum, onions, mushrooms, & lots of mozzarella cheese.
Every topping tasted fresh & flavorful. What impressed me most was the quality & stuffing - despite being a small size, no other pizza chain's medium or even large pizza can compare to this restaurant's pizza.
Absolutely mind-blowing! I never expected it to be this good. Highly recommended!
Walking around Pointe-Claire Village, can make a girl real hungry.
Gigi Pizzaria has been on my'Need to Try' list for a few months. It was recommended by a few friends. I haven't gone earlier because parking can be a little tough.
We were greeted by a very friendly lady & seated immediately. For a Wednesday lunch it was quite busy. We were lucky there was a booth still available.
The menu is not extensive, but there are more that enough selections. Ranging from a small selection of spaghetti lasagna to a large selection of subs & pizzas.
We had pizza. A 10''Deluxe' to be exact. It was loaded with cheese, mushrooms, green peppers, pepperoni, bacon, & onions. Holy moly. The sauce was light so the flavors of the toppings was able to stand out.
Only downside was that it was a bit wet under the crust which was a bit underdone. I didn't say anything because it was ok. I'm just very picky. My friend had a single topping pizza, 1/2 pepperoni & 1/2 capicollo, & nit was dry & perfectly cooked. Sometimes, when there are too many toppings the tendency is to stay a little wet on the bottom. It takes a long time for the mushrooms & peppers to dry out.
When I go back? Absolutely.

Gigi's has been a staple of Pointe-Claire for ages, & with good reason. Their thick, chewy, cheese-laden pizzas are delicious comfort food that summons people back year after year. I know folks who've grown up in Pointe-Claire & moved away, who later drive into town just to stop at Gigi's. The service is friendly, their prices have remained reasonable over the years & it's great to grab a pie in warmer months & walk down to the water.
It's unfair to every other restaurant how amazing Gigis is. I've been to dozens of pizza places in my life & none of them can come close. Consistently perfect food for the decades I've been going here. There is nothing that can be improved. Their pizzas have a generous amount of cheese & sauce, which are of high quality. The dough is also delicious & easy to chew. The reviews saying otherwise are false. Please never close down or change the receipes. Every other restaurant is sub par in comparison. Basically, Gigi's pizza is like the Rolls Royce of pizzas. P.S. They do take debit. They were cash only for the longest time but have recently added a debit machine.
Amazing OLD SCHOOL Montreal pizza. Finally found a place that tastes like the past & does NOT skimp on cheese, dough is chewy having risen properly. Pie is perfectly symmetrical that respects the 1 inch edge to toppings ratio (in other words it's a real Montreal european pizza, NOT a taco or pita or naan covered from edge to edge). I ordered the large bacon. Just PERFECT mouth feel. Seriously, I am very humbled by their lone location on the Lakeshore drive. PRICE IS REASONABLE for a pie! ABSOLUTELY WORTH the drive! MERCI BEAUCOUP
This is our go-to restaurant for pizza or subs & has been for over 35 years. Over the years we've had a lot of pizza & Gigis is top notch. This is the true Quebec all dressed pizza with lots of cheese & the pepperoni, green pepper & mushrooms are layered & plentiful under the cheese! Thanks Gigi's for continuing to exceed our expectations!
Really not impressed with the quality or taste. Overpriced & definitely not the best in the West Island. Very chewy, hard to cut through the crust, not much cheese or sauce.
