Gathered Kitchen

 

One of the best ways to stress-test a friendship is suggesting a vegan meal. No matter how casually you raise the subject, ("Brunch at a new vegan cafe?" Corn emoji), what the other person inevitably hears is, "How would you like to give up your right to ice-cream, good cheese, buttery cakes and pastries for me?"

At Glebe's Gathered Kitchen, however, such tensions will evaporate upon glimpsing the cafe's pastry display. Spread along its sunlit timber counter are trays of house-made raisin swirls, pain au chocolat and berry-filled cruffins (croissant-muffins) that aren't just plant-based, but so photogenic that they would put even the most stubborn omnivores at ease.

gigi pizzeria

 

Newtown’s King Street is often referred to as ‘Eat Street’ by Sydneysiders, who love the sheer range of restaurants along its fine culinary stretch. That being the case, Gigi Pizzeria is responsible for delivering the traditional Italian flavours to the street

Owners and managers, Marco and Daniela Matino, opened the Pizzeria eight years ago, with a desire to bring the freshness and clarity of flavour reminiscent of Naples to the famous street of Newtown, with traditional Neapolitan woodfired pizza.

Gigi is one of a very few pizzerias in Sydney that is a proud member of the AVPN (the ‘Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana’ or ‘True Neapolitan Pizza Association’) and adheres to its incredibly specific regulations, including hand-stretched dough, traditionally topped, and wood-fired pizza, Napoli style.

According to Marco, the tradition of the Neapolitan wood fired pizza “is an art form which will always be relevant no matter how times change". Marco has created a new Plant-Based menu to align with Gigi's ethics, whilst staying true to the traditional Neapolitan Pizza by using fresh, quality local produce, combined with key ingredients imported from Italy, as specified by the AVPN, to create a perfect authentic Neapolitan pizza.
