Came in for dinner one night with my family, pretty decent seating great service an their food was decent. Nice bar area. Pricey but not bad for the service. Thanks we will come back again. Parking was good as well.
I always pass by this pizzeria/restaurant on my way to/from grocery shopping. I figured I should try it since there was a $12 for $20 groupon on for takeout.
The servers were very nice. My bf and I were greeted immediately. We decided to order the pizza alla volka pie.
It smelled great in the car. We got home 5 mins later and started feasting.
The taste was, well…bland. . . .
I couldn't really taste the volka sauce. The texture of the slice felt very dry. The peas were hard.
Maybe I'm just used to pizza that is either plain or loaded and with a tomato sauce base. I had a bag of mozzarella in the fridge so I just sprinkled it on 2 slices and popped it in the toaster oven. The pizza tasted much better afterwards.
I come here a couple times a month. I never sat in to eat but always do takeout or delivery. Their pizza is usually piping hot when I come to pick it up (they keep it in a heater to keep it warm). I usually get the buffalo pizza or regular. Both options are good and delicious. They are a bit more expensive than your average pizzeria but they are worth it.
My bf and I came here on Saturday after a long day of a very boring mandatory class because we heard this place had one of the best pizzas in New York. Well…they did not disappoint. They have a parking lot so yay for no street parking. We were seated immediately. The place's décor could be a bit better but it's homey. Great service! The waitress we had was super friendly, always had a smile on her face, and attentive. We got the mozzarella and tomato salad, the stuffed mushrooms, the mushroom pizza and the penne vodka pizza (the famous one). Everything was pretty good! I wasn't the biggest fan of the stuffed mushroom but my bf loved it. The mozzarella was very fresh and the balsamic vinegar that came with it was just delicious. The mushroom pizza was good and creamy but the penne vodka pizza easily topped that! It was weird but really, surprisingly good!
If we are ever in Staten Island again, we would definitely come back!
I can't believe it took me this long to write a review. This place is amazing. We've been coming here for years. My husband and I have driven over the bridge many times from Brooklyn to eat dinner here. Well worth the trip. Every occasion we've been here, the service was impeccable. The waitstaff is always friendly, warm, and inviting. Everything is always brought out without much of a wait and they make sure you are satisfied with everything.
We usually order a large mozzarella pie and an order of baker clams. Their pizza is the best on Staten Island (in my opinion) and their baked clams are the best I've ever had. I've eaten at many restaurants, some of them very expensive; no other place has baked clams that compare to Goodfellas. I've also tried their award-winning vodka pizza which I thought was absolutely delicious.
Always a great time coming here.
Favorite Staten Island pizza!! Learned so much about this place through a pizza tour (yes, there's such a thing!). Apparently one of their pizzas won "best pizza" at a pizza expo in Las Vegas (yes, that is also such a thing!). We had the chance to try their classic Margherita pizza as well as their award winning pizza and immediately I could understand how they won! Their classic pizza has nice medium sized crust, sauce that is not too sweet and not too acidic (just right), and fresh mozzarella that wasn't too stringy (not a fan of stringy pizza). The award winning pizza had such an interesting combo of toppings and flavours (I believe they call it the smokin goodfellas pizza). If I ever find myself in Staten Island again, this is the pizzeria I will visit!
We stopped here last night while visiting my fiances family. We ordered takeout which took a bit longer than we would have thought for two sandwiches but we both really enjoyed them. I would like to go back here and try their brick oven pizza which has good reviews.
This place never fails me. I've been here so many times and I will continue coming back. They often have a groupon offer and I think that is great since that entices people to come, both old and new. With or without the groupon, this establishment is well worth the visit. I have family that lives nearby, but I live in Brooklyn. I make the trek and pay the heaping $15 toll to come into SI just for some amazing Italian food. This is by far my favorite Italian spot in all of NYC. Not only is the food GREAT, but the owner and people that work there are great. The owner is always smiling and I think that shows a lot. I see him sometimes going around to the tables asking how things are and I think that is wonderful. I wish every restaurant is like that. While I want a lot of people to come here, I like that it is a local Italian spot for the neighborhood. This way, I am always guaranteed a seat and no wait =).
During my most recent visit we tried –
Crustacean pie- the sauce on this was delish! It came with whole pieces of calamari and shrimp and that complimented the pizza!
Lemon Cheddar Chicken – this was delish as well. I loved loved loved the sauce.
Lasagna – this was delish and it had a lot of meat! I wish there was more tomato sauce since it was a little dry.
I'll be back =) Thanks for a great dinner!
