The food is amazing!! I love the honey hot pizza and you can taste they use high quality ingredients!! Today was our first time ordering the Nutella zeppoles and it was slight crispy and super soft inside! My kids devoured it!
Noticed that the pizzas were cooked in a wood fired oven (which I know makes wonderful pizzas), so I decided to try some slices. Pizza crust was light, little chewy, and flavorful, but some slices had too much char on it which made parts of it inedible. Some slices tasted very salty, not sure if it was the actual cheese or the sauce that tasted very salty. Some slices were very good, too. Service was ok. Parking is limited to the very few spaces in front, nearby adjacent streets, or whatever is available in the nearby lot.
Absolutely the best pizza I have ever had! And as someone who loves their pizza.. this one hits hardest!! Thin, but elegant with fluffy crust and just enough cheese with an excellent sauce. Chefs kiss for Chef Gigi’s!! Tasty pizza you’re sure too love.
Pizza is really outstanding. Dough is tasty- pizzas are creative and delicious. Even delivered, it really is good. However, I’ve ordered 5x from there and 3/5 times the order was wrong. As in, completely different pizza was sent. First couple of times, I wrote it off. Last time, I called and complained- was told the manager is out and he’d get back to me. I’m still waiting. The pizza is good but not good enough to look past the frustrations of an incorrect order. Really a shame. Could have been a really special place.
I stopped by Farina 00 Chef Gigi’s Place and ordered a Margherita Pizza, and I was genuinely impressed. The pizza tasted really good and immediately reminded me of the Neapolitan-style pizzas I had at various restaurants during my time in Italy. While it wasn’t 100% identical to the pizza I had over there (which is totally expected), it came very close, and I could tell real effort was put into capturing that authentic flavor and texture. It completely met my expectations, and I walked away very satisfied. I’ll likely come back in the future to try more from their menu. If you're looking for a solid Neapolitan-style pizza without hopping on a flight to Naples, this place is definitely worth checking out.
