WE DO NOT TAKE TABLE BOOKINGS, WALK INS ONLY.

In 2021, I (Rapha) approached Alberto with the proposition of hosting a joint pop-up at the Old Vic theatre in Bristol. The collaboration sparked a friendship rooted in a shared love of cooking and eating. After long discussions about the different approaches to hospitality, culinary ethos and where we have been and where we want to be, we both felt a lingering sense that something was missing, that what we were doing was good—but not quite there yet.

I continued refining my pizza abilities, while Alberto opened his wonderful restaurant Grano. Our shared philosophy of "relaxed perfectionism" became the foundation for what Gigi’s would ultimately become. The vision for Gigi's was solidified on pizza eating trips through London, Rome, and New York City, drawing inspiration from the world’s pizza capitals and over 50 pizza shops.

Gigi's serves 12” and 18” whole pizzas, pizza by the slice, and offer a curated selection of local beers, natural wines, and small-batch spirits. It’s a simple concept with a focus on warm hospitality, great friends and the best pizza around.

At Gigi’s, we honour the journey of pizza, from its humble origins to its dynamic future. We believe that by embracing the legacy, evolution, and innovation of pizza making, we celebrate a culinary tradition that unites cultures and generations.

The Past

We pay tribute to the Italian immigrants who came to New York between 1880 and 1930, bringing with them the rich traditions of Naples. From these roots, the iconic New York slice was born out of necessity—simple, hearty. We cherish this history, recognising it as the foundation of everything we do.

The Present

We challenge the conventional idea of authenticity by breathing new life into a classic. While we love the old school and parts of tradition, we are unafraid to push boundaries and embrace creativity. To us, authenticity isn’t about strict adherence to the past, it’s about owning innovation and making pizza a living, evolving art form.

The Future

We believe in the power of change and the beauty of diversity. As the world evolves, so too should pizza. We are committed to exploring modern takes on tradition, welcoming new cultures and flavors into the fold. For us, the future of pizza lies in embracing innovation, fostering diversity, and continuing to inspire the next generation of pizza lovers.

Through our dedication to the past, present, and future of pizza, we strive to create a space where culinary tradition meets creativity, and every slice tells a story.
