This has been one of my more difficult reviews to write. First of all Yelp doesn't have a category of six stars which annoys me... so Goodfellas deserves six stars from me. It's basically a family I think that runs Goodfellas and if you hang out there a while like I have over the last couple weeks you see wrestling awards for the kids and Cubs scouts and soccer teams and highschoolers and veterans and families... It's like a happy day's diner but with Pizza and Cool garlic clove things. But the reason it was difficult was because they became kind of a family to me and so I told the team there they could write their own review and they didn't do it so that's either because they're too honest or maybe they don't do School assignments I don't know... From what I've observed they're pretty honest and they probably do their school assignments anyway it's a great place it has a great jukebox and I think they team up with the Deli pretty cool like and it seems like they've really liked and supported Pacifica for a long time. A pizza is only half as fun if Uber drops it off. And a big thank you to everyone there from me and my dog. And normally I would end this with I am not compensated for anything I just really liked the place but they were nice enough to give me some leftover pizza last night so I'm worried that they did that to get out of the assignment of writing their own review which is pretty brilliant...damn it... I think I've been had read more

If you not a picky obnoxious Karen, this is a good pizza joint. Speaking as a local who has lived in Pacifica for over 25 years. Sure it may be a bit pricey but round table is more expensive i think. I always get the Goodfella and Da Godfather. The garlic bread is nice and soft. The Cheesy Garlic bread can stand to have its cheese toasted a bit more but its still decent. All these one star reviews are definit out of towners who are used to uppity downtown over priced brick oven style pizzas in storefronts that are being rented out for 36% over standard market price read more

1041 Terra Nova Blvd Pacifica, CA 94044 Goodfellas Pizza & Pasta is located in the Park Mall Shopping Center. It can be found at Terra Nova Blvd & Oddstad in Pacifica, CA. The other night my job finished up nearby, and I was really hungry. I looked over the mixed reviews for this place on Yelp, but decided to try their pizza anyway. I walked in just before 9pm, and ordered a medium Combo Pizza. The lady at the register said that's a Medium "Da Godfather." The names of the pizzas are related to the names of mobsters and gangsters of the movies, TV, and history. Okay, this was my first time here. I believe I was overcharged for a 16" Medium Da Godfather Pizza. The menu says $22.50, and she charged me $27+. After I got home, I looked at the online menu. Same price, $22.50. So how was the pizza? No flavor and not enough cheese. I wasn't sure what was wrong with it. All the ingredients were there. Why does the sausage and pepperoni have so little flavor? Was the pizza undercooked? When I went to pull off a slice, there was no "cheese pull." There wasn't strands of melted cheese streaming off the pizza. That means there's not enough cheese. When I got home, I put two slices in my air fryer. I did 375"F for about 10-mins, and it tasted a little better. So let me get this right. There were three guys in the kitchen, and nobody knows how to make a pizza ? Would I return? No thanks read more

Great price, selection and delivery. Don't miss the eggplant parm or any of the specialty pizzas.

The resturant itself and surrounding plaza are run down and dirty. Many of the workers are incredibly kind but clearly have the "just getting a check" mentality and don't really care about anything. The food is only mediocre and is mostly sysco :( read more

I ordered a medium pizza and came home looked at my receipt and was charged $30.67 ! That's outrageous!! I called today and was told thsts their price !!!!! Someone really raised the price ! Was told it was equal to a large ! Very disappointed!!!! read more

Delicious pizza. Crisp crust, tasty and fresh. We always get the goodfellas special. So good we drive up from Modesto just for a pizza

Like that the sauce isn't overwhelmingly tomatoes and the surface of the pizza is covered with toppings.

The pizza dough made here is so good and they bake the pizza to have a perfect crust. The pizza sauce is my favorite. Love this place. read more

It's OK but I don't think I'd go back, the quality of the pizza just wasn't that great and I don't know why it's so hard to find a good pizza in Pacifica. read more

Great meatballs. I put them on my pizza since we had to get a veggie pizza for my sister. Now, my dinner party did have some difficult customers, but the service was pretty poor. I don't usually go here but decided to come by since it's closer to my house but will avoid in the future. I much prefer Luigi's pizza in Linda mar. read more

Goodfellas Pizza & Pasta - Meatballs are delicious - Italian Near Me - Pacifica, California

Just very inconsistent. Sometimes it's good , other times inedible. It's not like the owner just started this business. This place should be terrific. It's just not. read more

Crap, orderd Plates and utensils for salad, none of wich showed up the good fella pizza had no sauce.. I called after it was delivered and the guy on the phone basically said ohh well so I had to eat the salad with my fingers and a credit card... I guess you have to just pack Plates and plastic wear when ya have delivery from here. Thanks guys, crap service read more

Great local spot for beer, appetizers and pizza! Chill atmosphere and great service. Consistent quality whether ordered for dine-in or takeout. read more

Pizza is mid. They are not very generous with cheese or toppings. Surprised they stayed in business this long. Crust is good for like 5 seconds after coming out of the oven. Wouldnt spend money at this place with those prices. read more

Wanted to like it, as the other food places were still "take out only" in this little plaza. The little plaza is pretty run down.......but we were stuck there for a while. Ordered the BBQ chicken pizza - pretty safe in unknown pizza places. The dough was chewy.....my wife did not like that - I was ok with it. It looks like they used roasted chicken (usually a good thing), but the bigger problem is that there were at least 4 pieces of cartilage (breast sternum) in the slices. That made my wife set her slices down for good. I ate them and were just careful. There were quite a few people working there - they must do a heck of a delivery service, as only 2 other people were sitting inside there. The bathroom is a mall shared bathroom. Nasty. Will not be going back. read more

I should clarify my favorite part of a pizza is always the sauce. If the sauce is delicious, then I love the pizza. The red sauce is so good here so I recommend the pizza. They do by the slice which is also good. Had the pepperoni and the pesto, loved them both. They also had celebration beer on tap. A win all around. read more

Goodfellas Pizza & Pasta - two slices of pizza - Italian Near Me - Pacifica, California

This was our favorite Pacifica pizza place but the quality and service took a huge nose dive. They have lost our order on numerous times, the pizza is often cold once delivered, and the pizza quality isn't there anymore. Time to go to Round Table. That's how bad Goodfellas has gotten! read more

Spent $70 on two pizzas and wings! The wings were so dry and inedible, Barely any sauce! The pizzas were bland and had zero life. Needless to say, I will not be going back! read more

We just stumbled on this place and were very pleasantly surprised. We were greeted by a friendly employee when we sat down, received excellent service & absolutely LOVED the food!! They have very resonable prices as well. We will absolutley be back & very happy that we found this hidden gem in Pacifica. A+++ restaurant read more

This is the worst pizza I have EVER tasted. How does this place stay in business serving this garbage. I ordered for pickup, they told me 30 minutes. I showed up in 25 minutes. The pizza was room temp, the cheese was barely cooked on top. The dough was heavy and dense. It seems like you would have to try to make a pizza this bad. The sausage was sawdust, there were 1-2 pepperonis per slice, the mushrooms looked disgusting and old, the onions were dry and dehydrated. This business must be a front for something else. There is no way they would stay in business just selling this garbage. It's really not that hard to make a decent pizza. If this business owner cared they would fire everybody and hire somebody who has experience making pizza to manage the place. read more

This feels like a Pacifica landmark. The ambience is great for kids. The food is reliably solid. The spicy seafood pasta is one of my favorites. The spinach salad with shrimp is also excellent. I almost rated at four stars just because nothing ever changes or improves. It's solid. You can still buy pizza by the slice which I really appreciate in terms of the cost. read more

this is a community spot and we have been coming here for years. But I think it's time for Goodfellas to step it up. Today they were flat out room to us and our kids. Got the order wrong and didn't apologize when asked about it. The "large" salads are not large. They are small. I think Goodfellas needs to decide on improving either their portions, the quality of their food or the politeness of the servers. This is a community place. They can act like it. It was an off day but the salad was absolutely disgusting and inedible. read more

Had a bittersweet experience at Goodfellas pizza. We had my son's birthday there and honestly everyone was great during the planning and also on the day of. The big disappointment was that their website is completely outdated and they've recently almost doubled the pricing on all of their items. We thought that the price advertised on their website was the price that we would have paid and we're disappointed to pay over $600 for 8 pizzas and 4 pitchers of beer without be in told or having it clearly in writing on their website. At the counter, they pointed to a random printed out piece of paper stating they had a price increase. Would unfortunately not recommend goodfellas unless you are comfortable paying around $45 for a large pizza that is pretty average. read more

Have gone to Goodfellas at least 10 times.Always order the cheese pizza, either the whole pie or by the slice. DELICIOUS...like New York Pizza (sicilian), it's the best Bay Area Pizza I've ever eaten!! Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly service. read more

Was hoping to make this my local pizza spot! It's definitely hit or miss for quality. Depending upon who is cooking, your pizza and even the pasta could be excellent. Today I decided to stop gambling. My BBQ pizza had no sauce and the questionable pasta was definitely not Marsala. I called hoping to get a replacement pizza. Manager was out and they asked me to call her personal cell phone to make the request. I declined and instead asked to put in a new pizza order to ensure my family could have dinner at least before 8:30pm. The staff member on the phone agreed. Then called me back 5 minutes later to share he is not authorized to put in the order. What a mess of a business! I would have paid for the additional pizza -- I just want to feed my family at this point and not call your manager at her home. I will not be returning and will be sharing my experience with other to avoid this place. $46 for disgusting pizza and pasta is not worth it! read more

Ok pizza, but what threw me off was when i asked for plates for my 2XL pizzas i just bought & tipped on the bartender/front desk woman wouldn't give me plates to eat my pizza on. I asked her for some plates as we are doing a big moving job and need plates to eat our food on and she said she's not supposed to give plates out. I offered to pay for them and she still refused. The customer at the bar even was shocked the lady wouldn't give me plates and she offered to pay for the plates for me as well. This really put a bad taste in my mouth with this place and will not be back. I would understand if i wasn't a paying customer and asked for plates, however i just bought 2 xl pizzas and she was refusing me getting plates. Very weird. Not even like they're fancy plates either....paper Costco plates. Sorry lady you just lost a customer for your bad customer service. read more

The pizza was not cooked all the way. The place was clean but the chemical smell of whatever cleaner they use was incredibly strong and an assault on the senses. Staff was friendly but due to poor food quality, will not return. read more

This place was cool - TVs around to catch up on sports. Ordered fried zucchini and pizza. Both were so good! Portions were perfect. Visited for dinner and staff was friendly and attentive even though it was busy. read more

We got take out pizza Da Godfather, 1/2 with meat and half with only the veggies. The pizza was not cooked enough, crust was soft. There was no pepperoni on it. The vegis on it, although there were plenty, were almost raw. I ordered a medium and they charged us for and gave us a large. This was my second time going there (Luigi's was closed) and I won't go back. read more

I've had goodfellas before and it was really good. Tonight, we ordered 2 pies and wings, the pizza crust was AWFUL, literally like cardboard, and the wings were dry....It is not worth the money anymore!!! read more

BUYER BEWARE As mentioned in previous reviews, they'll charge you 40% more than the pricing on the menu. Also got off work and thought I'd try this hidden local Italian place. After I ordered, I realized that I had just paid $25 for a small salad and simply spaghetti take-out. No drinks, nothing. Menu was $10 less. When I mentioned it, the lady said that they reserved the right to change their prices on the menu (but the menu is over 3 years old pre-Covid!! and it was 40% more ) Sure, prices have gone up but the food is average and certainly not worth SF prices in house. Owner is cheap, deceiving and most likely needs the prices because he/she will never have return business except for the local kids that work there - most likely under the table cheap labor. Will be reporting you to the appropriate agencies. read more

Always great service! They use all fresh ingredients and make their Marinara sauces daily. They have vegetarian options, too! Great sandwiches for take out! read more

The worst pizza we have had for some time. We don't order pizza often...this was a total disappointment. No sauce, sausage had no flavor. I ordered garlic, I think they thought it was a suggestion. Never ordering again from them. Sorry to say that. We don't have a lot of pizza options in this town. Sticking with Luigi's... read more

We've been coming here weekly since they opened 15 years ago. The past couple months have seen both the service and the quality take a nosedive. Seems like the waitress Tara is the only one left that still cares or puts in any effort. We've avoided going the last few weeks and ordered delivery tonight and it was the worst yet. I really hope this reaches the owner and they can figure out what's going on but we won't be back for a while. read more

Delicious pizza!! I look forward to coming into Pacifica and getting their pizza. I've never had an issue with service or pizza.

Visiting family this week and stopped in. There was a baseball party going on, but that did not delay our order. Great pizza, terrific "whole nine yards" salad and wings, too. People were friendly and attentive. Hope we come back next time we are in town. read more

This was my first time coming here yesterday. My husband grew up down the street from Good Fellas, so I've heard a lot about it. I was interested to try it. Upon entering, it is not visually impressive at all. It was a little dark, but noticeably really really cold. They have a fireplace in there that doesn't work, and they kept both their doors open, so it was like a wind tunnel and freezing the whole time. They had one high chair and the straps that were supposed to connect had two total different connections on it. So the high chair was basically useless, because if my daughter can't be strapped in, she'll never stay down in a high chair. We had to trade off holding her during our meal because they didn't seem to prioritize having a functioning high chair. It was also really filthy, so we weren't stoked about having her in there anyway. The food was good. I got Rigatoni with creamy pesto and our grandma got the gluten free pizza. We also got the garlic bread (regular without cheese). I wasn't blown away with my pasta, the size was okay, and the sauce was okay, didn't have a lot of flavor. Honestly though, with the appearance and the high chair not working, I was definitely expecting worse, so the pasta was a pleasant surprise. I tried the gluten free pizza and it was pretty good. I don't have much experience with gluten free to compare to, but my grandma swears by it. Another reason for the lower stars is when I went to pay, none of the items on the menu were the right price when rang up. They pointed out that they have signs all around the restaurant, but I find multiple problems with that. One, their menus were super old and dirty, I think they can manage to upgrade the menus to get more accurate prices! Second, the waitress didn't point out that the prices were incorrect, and I feel like with something like this, the more you point it out, the better. Signs are fine, but I wasn't looking around the restaurant constantly to notice their decor or signage, and it wasn't like they were in the middle of the table or some place really obvious. The price differences were also significant. The pasta was supposed to be $10.75 I believe, and rang up at $14.75. The garlic bread was $2+ and I didn't even notice the other items. They also included an almost $3 service fee. Again, no mention of this. I don't even know if this was applied to everyone or if it was because we used a credit card? Still a mystery. Unfortunately, all of these surprise fees/costs/differences take away from the experience and makes me wish it is customary to mention all of these things to each table before serving. Oh ya the bathrooms were absolutely nasty as well, some of the grossest bathrooms we've ever seen! Two stars essentially are for the food being pretty decent! But nothing else really. read more

*edit* ***After some sleep and thinking about it, I changed my review from 2 stars to 3 stars since I was peeved and was being harsh at the time of my initial review and, also, what I am peeved about is more my personal feeling and my word is not law or universal code. I gave the extra star because service was good, the pizza was good, they delivered it in a more than timely fashion, corrected their mistake and sent the new, correct pizza within 20 minutes. The delivery driver also represented the restaurant well and was respectful and apologized for their mistake, which is huge in my book.*** The initial review: I will start off by saying that they're pizza is good, but I do not care for their business practice by wasting food. This is the first time I ordered from them. I am babysitting my nephew in the area and he LOVES their pizza so I ordered a pizza an hour or so ago. Large with pepperoni and olives. When I received the pizza, it was missing the olives and they left the order receipt in the pizza box that says "Large pizza: pepperoni, olives" so it was clearly their mistake. I called back and spoke to the same lady who took my order about their mistake and my options were that they bring me a new pizza or they give me a discount on my next order. Well, I don't order from there and my nephew loves olives with his pepperoni on the pizza so I obviously asked for a new pizza. Her reply was, "We will send a new one and come pick up the other one." Yea, they were going to pick it up lol Well, I work 10 hour days and I hadn't eaten all day other than a light snack since that's all I have time for. Anyways, I ate some slices because my nephew might be a little picky, but I'm not and I was starving! When the delivery guy came and dropped it off, he actually asked for the pizza back. The delivery driver was a nice guy, very respectful and had great customer service and he was embarrassed for asking. He even said that he hates asking for the pizza back because it isn't right and when I asked what do they do with it, he chuckled and didn't even answer the question. He just said it was their business practice. So I want to safely assume they just throw it away, which is completely wasteful and really unsanitary. Yes, I did get the pizza I eventually wanted and that makes up for their mistake, but asking to take back a pizza that has been in someone else's house that has been partially eaten is disgusting. Especially because you know they are throwing it in the trash when the rest of my family would've eaten it, with the exception of my nephew. Pretty shady practice just because you might think people will lie about an order and won't give them their new, CORRECT pizza unless you give them back their mistake pizza. Ugly, ugly way of business. read more

I don't think management/ownership reads these reviews. The girls that work the counter are TERRIBLE! They have no manners, forget drink orders and multiple times I've seen them not wearing masks in the restaurant and hugging other non-masked friends in the parking lot. Why have a "decorative" bottle of hand sanitizer at the counter if your not going to use it between credit card transactions. It is sad how such a good location can be run so poorly. read more
