Gigi est largement reconnue comme une véritable institution locale, appréciée pour son atmosphère rétro nostalgique et sa pizza traditionnelle de style montréalais. De nombreux clients soulignent la générosité des portions, caractérisées par des croûtes épaisses et aérées ainsi qu'une abondance d'ingrédients frais de haute qualité. Au-delà de ses pizzas emblématiques, le restaurant est fréquemment loué pour ses délicieux sous-marins au steak et son accueil chaleureux, souvent décrit comme poli, rapide et convivial. Bien que les prix reflètent la qualité supérieure et la taille copieuse des repas, la plupart des convives s'accordent à dire que le goût constant, réconfortant et l'expérience authentique en font une destination incontournable que l'on a toujours plaisir à revisiter.
If you're used to cheap delivery, $37 for a large pepperoni & cheese will cause some sticker shock. But there's a reason this Pointe-Claire staple is always packed! Founded by an Italian family in 1970, Gigi's still rocks a deeply retro vibe with vintage burgundy booths & wood-paneled walls.
You get exactly what you pay for here. The pizza is massive, they specialize in a thick, fluffy, old-school crust built to hold a mountain of fresh toppings & their signature sweetly-spiced tomato sauce. It's a heavy-duty, knife-&-fork pie, not a flimsy foldable slice.
Is it expensive? Absolutely. But you aren't just paying for a quick dinner; you're paying for huge, generous portions from a local institution that hasn't compromised its recipe in over 50 years. A true comfort food classic!
Wow- for chicago or New York style pizza, this will be one of my go to places. Excellent pizza, homemade sauce, real bacon, high end peperoni, the dough was made with good quality flour & cooked at right temperature, & the steak sub we also had- PHENOMENAL...I love this place, cannot recommend highly enough.
DO NOT ORDER lasagna with meat sauce. I don't think I've eaten anything so bad. Let me rephrase that, Lasagna with meat sauce is on my top 3 worst meals of all time. Over cooked noodles with a meat sauce, not sure if it was from a can. Well a canned sauce may have been better. What I should have ordered was Baked Lasagna. Who knew, I sure didn't. Never in my 67 years have I ever seen anything like this. If you think Im exaggerating. Order it Im sure your head will snap back just like mine. This isn't Lasagna, it's Lasagna noodle thrown on a plate with bad red meat sauce. Boy oh boy.
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.
Disappointed with their sub sauce, or lack of.
We confirmed the Gigis'special' sauce was like an Italian vinaigrette when it was JUST oil & salt. No vinegar, no spices. Just oil.
I had to whip up a quick vinaigrette with what I had but it did not hit the spot.
Will not be ordering again.
Had the all dressed..."to me" the sauce used seemed to be a touched over spiced with oregano...that said the taste improved the day after. Might go again.
