Praised widely in Sydney as having “the best pizza outside of Italy”, Gigi Pizzeria in Newtown takes its food very seriously – with a trademark Italian smile, of course. In fact, Gigi is one of only a handful of Australian restaurants to receive a prestigious AVPN award from the True Neapolitan Pizza Association. As if that’s not enough reason to visit, there’s a lively vibe at Gigi, which maintains an effortlessly cool, modern street style with graphic art murals, exposed brick, concrete floors, and a warm golden glow from the wood fire oven. Choose from a range of mouth-watering pizza options all 100% plant based – perhaps topped with Swiss brown mushrooms, dairy free blue cheese, garlic and roasted walnuts, or work through the calzone and antipasti menu before dessert.
