Located right above Little Bun, Gather Pizza is one of Johor Bahru’s hidden gems for sourdough pizza lovers. They share the same building, the same toilets, and probably the same owners—so we’re guessing they’re under the same company. But while Little Bun serves up fluffy pastries (which we tried before but haven’t got a chance to write a review), Gather Pizza is all about airy, crispy, and ridiculously awesome sourdough pizzas.
Let’s not waste time here … the Margherita here is a MUST-TRY! No questions, no hesitation!
🍕 The Sourdough Margherita – A Slice of Perfection
You know that moment when you take a bite, and you just lock eyes with your friend like… “Damn.” Yeah, that’s what happens here.
You pull a slice, and the cheese stretches like it doesn’t want to let go, hanging on until it finally gives in. The first bite cracks with a crispy, golden edge before sinking into a soft, airy center that’s light but still has a good chew. The dough is so well-fermented that the air pockets give it that slight tang 😋
And then there’s that slightly burnt bit on the crust. Some might say it’s unhealthy, but let’s be real, that smoky aroma is what takes it to the next level.
The tomato sauce is bright and punchy, balancing out the richness of the melty cheese, while the fresh basil adds that perfect touch of fragrance. It’s everything a proper Margherita should be; simple, honest, and absolutely addictive! No overcomplicated toppings, just pure sourdough magic that makes us completely forget about the evilness of carbs 😅
The only thing missing? It’s not wood-fired. Not that old-school, flame-kissed kind of bake. But even without that traditional wood-fired touch, this sourdough beauty would still amaze you.
So yeah, maybe it’s not wood-fired, but trust me—one bite in, and you won’t care. Get the Margherita, take a bite, and let the dough, sauce, and cheese do all the talking. You’ll be planning your next visit before you even finish the last slice!
🔥 Rating: 9/10 – Have a TRY even if you hate Pizza!
🍄 Mushroom Soup – Comforting but Not a Showstopper
This is the kind of soup that does the job… thick, earthy, and made with real mushrooms instead of those instant stuff.
You can taste that they didn’t skimp on ingredients, and it’s got that deep umami kick that makes it comforting, especially when paired with the crusty sourdough toast on the side.
That said, it’s good, not game-changing. If you just want a warm, hearty start to your meal, it’ll do the trick. But let’s be real… you’re here for the pizza, and this soup isn’t stealing the show 🤭
🔥 Rating: 7/10 – Worth trying, but won’t leave you thinking about it the next day 🙂
🥗 Burrata Salad – Fresh, But Nothing to Shout About
The burrata is soft, creamy, and rich, exactly how it should be. It sits on a mix of rocket leaves, cherry tomatoes, and salty black and green olives, all drizzled with a thick balsamic glaze. It is sweet, tangy, and slightly peppery.
Then there’s the strawberries. Some might love the extra sweetness, some might feel it’s a bit random. The almond slices add a nice crunch, but overall, it’s just a fresh and decent salad.
If you need something light to go with your pizza, this does the job. But let’s be real, nobody comes here just for salad 🤣
🔥 Rating: 6/10, nice but won’t be the reason you come back.
