Gigi is praised for Montreal style pizza and hearty subs, with a thick, tasty crust and plentiful toppings that keep many customers coming back. The atmosphere is old school and welcoming, with friendly, attentive staff, though the dining room is small and booths can feel cramped for bigger crowds. Prices are a recurring note, often described as a bit high for the area, but the overall quality makes it a standout and many say the pies are among the best in the West Island. Some dishes, like lasagna, receive strong critique, and a few subs have had inconsistent fillings or dressing, but the pizza is consistently the main draw. Service and hospitality are repeatedly highlighted as positives, with a habit of making families and regulars feel at home, and delivery has resumed for convenient takeout or dine in visits. In short, Gigi is regarded as a must try for pizza lovers seeking familiar, robust flavors and a nostalgic vibe, even if sizing and price invite careful planning.
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.
Cash only; it's good they informed us that before we ordered. We ordered a cheese pizza & an all dressed submarine, both were delicious. The pizza dough was nice & chewy, generous cheese with nice tomato sauce. We were there on a Sunday at 12:30pm, not much wait time. Nice pleasant dining experience.

Journée de la fête St-Jean, bondé de monde mais super bon service. La meilleure pizza toute garnie que j'ai mangé depuis plusieurs années. Bravo à l'équipe !
