for me, pizza gigi is the best delivered pizza in toronto. the best!
Gigi is and has been one of, if not the best, pie joints in the city.
What D. Patrick has described existed 10, even 20 years ago, these guys care about their pizza, and not about appearing on Canada's Next top Model. Great to know nothing has changed.
Peace!
Gigis is everything you would want from a late night pizza joint. It has served that purpose for a very long time and are not slowing down (ie, getting crappy). The dough is clearly made with love and care and no chemical dough relaxers, unlike every single chain pizza restaurant in the country (it's in their flour:). There is a mild yeast taste. What I like about this dough is that it has all three things right: it is crispy on the bottom and yet a bit floppy in the middle. The sauce is nicely caremalized but not too thick that it doesnt soak into the base. The actual crust is light, fluffy but slightly chewy and crunchy! In other words Napoletano style except that they are using. Some parts are thick and some are extra thin: thats why you eat the whole pizza! T
I get my pizza with just goat cheese and peppers. Fantastic, although next time I will definitely be asking for extra garlic and also extra olive oil (no biggy, I added it myself). This is the one thing that takes pizza to personal joy. My room mate asked "why did you order this weird cheese?" only to take a bite and then say "well that's, oh my god, that's just... nice". If you have never had a goat cheese sans mozzarella pizza, definitely give it a try (best with some potatoes, roasted onions and rosemary I think)
Honestly, to reiterate, i wish you could hear the crunch that this crust makes when you bite into it. Followed by low "hmmmmmsss...". Gutteral :P
Were you gonna buy home maid slice that's been around for 15+ years with the same great taste. Hard working guy good pie and no dirty pakis with cursy stinking hands giving it a dirty tasting doo like most piZa pizza joints that have caker sauce with imagrents making a dirty slice. So there was a drug bust most of t.o been busted place will be back and serving hood with best slice in toronto.
To all you haters don't eat it if you don't like it, we have the best italain god father making the best pizza in town. Cheers.
Most pizza pizza crust do have a sloppy sauce taste with curry taste.
Its like dirty uncle forgot to wash his hands.
Homemade slice vs pakis and there crapy product.
Besides since when did brown people learn to make a pizza slice like the italians.
They didn't.
Lol to god father serving hot slices.
To most fags that don't like it eat a dick.
We didn't ask home sexual to eat it anyways.

Moved out of the city and most pizza huts don't make a great pizza like pizza gigi.
I hope they come back.
Caught for drug bust, so what great pizza and who knows maybe best drugs in the city to. Lol

Sad sad society that we lose what is truly important in life.
