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.
First time eating here - we took a medium deluxe pizza to go. Cost 30$. The lady warned us we can pay only by cash while we were waiting on the line to order. They have their ATM, so they make money of the customers taking cash. & who carries cash anymore, it is not hygienic too. The pizza box was not very strong & they staple it on three sides so it does not open, it got disformed very quickly. The pizza was mediocre, the dough was tough & in the middle it was soggy, when you hold a piece it does not hold straight & the toppings are falling down. The dine in area is small & crowded.
In my household, weekends are a sacred ritual of indulging in takeout cuisine, & a beloved haunt is Gigi Pizzeria nestled in Pointe-Claire village. Every corner of Quebec seems to have its cherished pizza haven, a place where the locals hold fervent convictions that it reigns supreme in terms of being the most delectable, the oiliest, the cheesiest, or the heartiest, among other attributes.
Gigi Pizzeria transcends mere nourishment; it encapsulates the essence of comfort food, a testament to their genuine care, & an emblematic ode to the enduring appeal of the quintessential classic pizza. Each bite unravels a symphony of gooey cheese strands that meld seamlessly with hearty, meat-laden toppings, a stark departure from the flimsy, featherweight boxes that typify other pizzerias. Bringing home a Gigi pizza is akin to bringing home a complete culinary experience, leaving no room for hunger & ensuring a delightful encore with leftovers that retain their delectable allure, even the day after.
Such is the magic of this pizzeria that whenever I entertain friends visiting from the United States, a trip to Gigi’s is non-negotiable. They’ve never before experienced submarine sandwiches, pizzas, or poutines quite like those served at Gigi’s. These dishes become a veritable gastronomic embassy, representing the quintessential flavor of Montreal pizza. In the grand hierarchy of Montreal’s pizza offerings, Gigi’s proudly sits at the apex, embodying the pinnacle of pizza excellence in the city.
My commitment to this gastronomic haven knows no bounds. I willingly embark on a journey that spans the entire length of the island, traversing from one end to the other, solely for the purpose of acquiring Gigi’s exceptional pizza. Such is the allure of this culinary gem that even the distance cannot deter my family from savoring its exquisite flavors. @mtlrestorap
I got the 14 inch steak & pepperoni sub.
It is really painful to describe my disappointment.
The single layer of thin steak was burnt & only covered half of the bread. There was plenty of pepperoni to make up for the lack of steak but it was the tasteless rubbery greasy type. They used to have excellent pepperoni.
What have they done to their product?
They used to be the best but now I will never eat there again.
Very bad wxperience, I asked for half ordinaire & half deluxe & they charded the price of a full deluxe, one large pizza 41$$$$. First I felt I'been stolen because of the price & because they charged lile a full deluxe pizza. Second of all, the lady was awfully mean & impolite. I told her that she should have told me, warm me. Terrible experience!!! Small place, bad service, very expencive & they do mot tell you the thru & do not offer you a refund. Avoid my bad experience! Don't go there.
Sadly, I've only been here about a dozen occasions. I love trying new restaurants which takes up my eat-out time. (Sorry I've been cheating on you GiGi).
I've only had the pizza & each & every time it has been perfect. Service is friendly.
Note that this is a very small restaurant & if you decide to eat in, instead of takeout then you will quickly find that the booths are not made for plus-size people.
So my suggestion for a sunny day would be to pick up your pizza & walk a couple minutes to St Joachim church which overlooks Lac St Louis & make a picnic out of it.
