50 Top Pizza World #16

Our verdict

Siamo nel quartiere di Balmain, in una Sydney con tanti edifici vittoriani e tanto verde. Il locale è proprio in uno di quegli edifici che caratterizzano il quartiere, ad angolo di un incrocio. Accogliente, pieno di energia, spesso troverete un poco di fila e i tavolini sul marciapiede nella bella stagione. Daniel Semrani, pizzaiolo e proprietario di Gigi’s, sta rivoluzionando la pizza in Australia, appassionato e competente studia impasti e lievitazioni proponendo una pizza molto personale. Non solo impasti però, anche una selezione rigorosa sulla materia prima, come l’ottimo extravergine, che dona carattere a tutte le pizze. In menu troverete le pizze classiche e quelle innovative, oltre ad una serie di antipasti, piatti di pasta ed insalate, è possibile anche una versione senza glutine, con un piccolo sovraprezzo. Tra le pizze da provare vi consigliamo la Marinara Futura, una pizza in più cotture che valorizza al meglio impasto ed ingredienti, così come la Chilli Crab, anche questa in più cotture. Buona la selezione del bere, che vi permetterà di bere bene, anche con una proposta zero alcol sui cocktails. Personale gentile e preparato. We are in the neighborhood of Balmain, in a Sydney with many Victorian buildings and lots of greenery. The restaurant is located in one of those buildings that characterize the neighborhood, at the corner of an intersection. Cozy, full of energy, you will often find a line and tables on the sidewalk in the nice weather. Daniel Semrani, pizza maker and owner of Gigi's, is revolutionizing pizza in Australia, passionate and knowledgeable he studies doughs and fermentations proposing a very personal pizza. Not only doughs, but also a strict selection of raw materials, such as excellent extra virgin olive oil, which gives character to all pizzas. On the menu you will find classic pizzas and innovative ones, as well as a variety of appetizers, pasta dishes, and salads, there is also a gluten-free version available, with a small surcharge. Among the pizzas to try, we recommend the Marinara Futura, a pizza with multiple baking times that enhances the dough and ingredients to the fullest, as well as the Chilli Crab, also with multiple baking times. Good selection of drinks, which will allow you to drink well, even with a non-alcoholic option on cocktails. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
