Gigi

@ 379 King St

Ahh Gigi, what would life be without this little pizzeria that sits just a couple of blocks from Newtown station? The first time I encountered this place the first thing I thought was that it looked gorgeous. The next thing I thought was, "where the heck's my pizza?" Yes, the pizzas take at best 20 minutes to arrive to you but boy, are they worth it.

Wood and coal fired (something like that) these pizzas possess a quality to them that your tastebuds will savour for hours and crave for days. They're large, thin crusted and not over-topped with ingredient after ingredient as some pizzas can be. Every time I've visitied here, the pizzas have never disappointed. In fact, I'd be as bold to say that they're the best pizzas on King. The only time I've tasted better was in New York under the Brooklyn Bridge. Sure, I've not tasted an overwhelming number of pizzas in my life to qualify as being a pizza afficionado but I've tasted enough to know when one screams of quality. And these pizzas? They do.
