Goodfellas Pizzeria - Otr

An absolute must when in Cincy. We stopped in during our last night in the city and it was perfection. You can choose from ready made pizza by the slice and breadsticks or order from the menu. We went with slices of a veggie, a plain cheese, a pepperoni & sausage, and breadsticks. The sticks come with choices of dipping sauce. The habanero ranch is a must! I was obsessed with my giant slice of veggie pizza. If you’re not eating broccoli on your pizza, you’re missing out! The vibe was hip and fun with lounge seating and a bar in the upper levels. We grabbed a hightop on the main floor so we could watch the pizza making magic while we ate. The star of the night, outside the fantastic pizza, was the pizza tossing master, Dan. He was the friendliest dude ever - turning an ordinary ordering of dinner into a lively show. It added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening to hear him bantering with guests and making suggestions. The guests were eating it up even faster than the hot and gooey pizza slices. Overall the place was clean, had a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and sliced up massive servings for reasonable prices. If you don’t stop here, you’ve wasted a trip to Cincinnati.

This is a weekly lunch spot for myself and my office mates . Great NY style slices and the breadstick with dipping sauce could be a meal by itself. The lunch deal is an absolutely insane value! Staff there is AMAZING. We have patronized this place dozens upon dozens of times, and the folks behind the counter are ALWAYS on top of their game with a great attitude. Nice outdoor space. Chill bar area upstairs. In the heart of OTR.

This southern girl fell in love!!! I flew to Cincinnati from New Orleans for the weekend to visit my mom and we had dinner here tonight. Im absolutely obsessed with this place! The pizza is phenomenal, the breadsticks are literally longer than deer legs and the service is top tier. I loved the outback patio!! Will def be back :)

Excellent pizza! But if it's your first time, I very highly recommend that you go with only Pepperoni (my preference) or plain Cheese. I would never order that way from any other pizza place, but the sauce, cheese, and crust at Goodfellas has just a really great flavor all by itself. Pepperoni adds to that flavor in a good way, but other ingredients tend to mask it out. After the first time, by all means, experiement - you might want to try Cheeseburger style (add cheddar, onions, mushrooms, and ground beef), for example. And their meatballs (and meatball sub) are also exceptional! Lastly - again, especially if it's your first time - order fresh pizza if you have time, rather than taking what's on display. You need to know what their very best is that first time, because it is the best pizza in Cincy, in my opinion.
