Gigi Pizzeria

This place used to heave with masses of inner westies. Then they went vegan, and they uber heaved. Now there's more choice, but they still do well...this was not their best performance. We sat next to the front door. Every time someone arrives, it makes a metal on metal screech that left me needing dental work. You have to hear it to believe it. It's simply unprofessional. This is cured readily. UPDATE; you see below the owner says they're aware and getting it fixed. Hmmm..what if it was stuck closed and you couldn't trade without it being fixed? Get the point? The remote order thing has its place. Big pubs are well suited. It adds to your experience to not have to get up, even if you still can. At a restaurant, it detracts. No smile, no welcome, no recommendations or specials, no guidance on pairings of wine or food. You may as well be home on the couch. The pizzas were hit and miss. The tomato base pizza was pretty lush. White pizza is traditionally cheese based. Here, if you're using fake cheese, you might need to realise that as it cools, the variation from the cow thing widens, to a poor conclusion. Here, a white pesto, perhaps pine or macadamia would restore balance. Add the toughest radicchio, and mushrooms as sparse as foliage on Uluru, and you have a pizza with all the appeal of a state politician. And there's there's the musical door. Made me wish a car would crash outside for aural relief.

Excellent food, even if you aren’t vegan the food is delicious. The pizza bases are wood fired and really tasty and rich. Highly recommended

One of the best Italian restaurants in town. Superb, traditional wood-fire pizza’s, and great pasta. Very friendly service too, thoroughly recommended 👏👏👏

Gigi's used to be my number one pizza spot until last night. The ambience and authenticity of this place has changed dramatically. It's turned into a cold pizza factory - "give us your money and get out" kind of vibe. I attribute the change to the incredibly rude staff - specifically the hostess/runner with a long blonde pony tail and ability to understand Italian. Calling her rude is an understatement. She clearly hates her job. I would certainly not want her to be the face of my establishment. My partner and I will not be returning until we hear of some improvements from other patrons.

Very disappointed tonight. Ordering is impossible without your phone. Not a menu insight. Music was loud and the choice of music made it difficult to relax & enjoy a meal. Ordered 2 calzone pizza which both were extremely under cooked. The ingredients and dough was raw through the middle. Being a regular pizza lover and often returning to a vegan pizza establishment, we enjoy. This has been the complete opposite experience from the food to service provided. We have left with a bad taste in our mouths and stomach ache.

Best pizza I've ever had! Will definitely be returning!

Almost everything was delicious. There was 1 pizza with giant chunks of raw cabbage (I think) which wasn't my cup of tea but, everything else was soooo good! Great service and atmosphere. I would be happy to come again.

We had been waiting to eat here but every time we were in the area there was always a long line of people waiting outside! This night we managed to be passing by close to opening time and found a perfect opportunity for an early dinner! The entire pizza and pasta menu is vegan and you order and pay via a QR code and app on your phone - so all contactless! We shared between two the Salsiccia e Broccoli pizza and Rucola, Mele e Cannella salad, this was plenty for us both! Both dishes were so good, the pizza was perfect from the topping to the crust - we will definitely be returning and I can now understand how this place has such a long line of people waiting for a table! My advice - get in early :)

Absolutely amazing food - even the salad is super tasty and not 'regular'. The pizza base reminded me of when I was in Napoli/Naples and tried authentic margarita pizza. No wonder why this place is constantly busy and incredibly popular!

Amazing pizza, can't even tell its vegan. Love the blue cheese mushroom one
