Definitely a good late night snack after a night out at the bars. We did come in closer to when they were closing so they didn't have much to pick from. The service was quick and we brought it back to our airbnb. We only got pepperoni and cheese pizza, but it was still good pizza. We got our pizza pretty quickly. read more

Goodfellas Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Ohio

The pizza is delicious! Huge slices and great crust! My son loves getting Goodfellas!

This place is good for a quick bite late night, which is exactly when I had it. I wanted something hot and filling, and nothing else was open on the street. My slice of cheese pizza did the job and was only 3.50. I'm not saying this place is anything special and they only had two choices for pizza (which meant my gluten free friend was out of options), but it'll get the job done. read more

Giant square of pizza for 3.50? Heck yeah! The service was friendly and fast with a cool old school dining area. It probably hasn't changed since it opened, and I love that! The pizza itself was good, not too greasy, and I'd definitely come here again for a cheap lunch! read more

I love being able to buy pizza by the slice. They give pretty big slices at a pretty reasonable price. It is a drunk food for most after a night out at the bars. And I have only had it after a night out at the bars... it was solid. read more

No seating available when you have to wait for your pizza, $20 for a half sheet of pizza "8 slices" it's a decent size but not for only two options of pizza that being Pepperoni and plain cheese. Highly disappointed, I doubt I'll be making a return here again. Staff is also very cocky with this "I'm aggravated and ready to go home". read more

Goodfellas Pizza - Good fellas pizza - Pizza Near Me - Athens, Ohio

I love this place.. It's a classic. I first went there over 20 years ago, when I was a student at OU. It's a staple of the food ecosystem of the University & the town of Athens. It's delicious, inexpensive, & it smells terrific. Doesn't get any simpler than that.. read more

Best service!!! Gonna be vague to not get anyone in trouble but a few days ago somebody working really helped me out! Needed some food and didn't have a lot of money and it was passed hours, they opened up the doors for me and let me get some food!! Dude through in an extra slice and was super super kind to me! Much needed friend thank you read more

So fast. So fresh. So clean. Pizza cured my crying soul. Bada bing bada boom Goodfellas

It's a local business, Ran by students, Providing good cheap food, Cool atmosphere, Awesome Staff, and Open Late. Honestly anyone that complains about the variety of toppings can go cry some place else because the union shop will have specialty pizzas every day around noon time, and the late night pepperoni and cheese slices are all made fresh within a 20 min time. It's thick slices, of soft cheesy pizza and you have the option of getting franks red hot, crushed peppers, ranch, and butter garlic. if you get a slice without one of these extra toppings you will be missing out a bit, but none the less its an athens staple that should be praised not torn down. Holla out to the Goodfellas staff! read more

I was in Athens over the past weekend for Numbers Fest and ended going out to the bars. A few friends raved about Goodfellas Pizza, so I was excited to grab a slice after a night out on the town. Unfortunately, even in a highly inebriated state, I found their pizza to be pretty gross. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I had it again the following night. Same conclusion: underwhelming greasy pizza served the drunk college masses. While Goodfellas pizza was certainly edible, it was not enjoyable. It resembled thick-crust Sicilian pizza and was cut into rectangles. Like other past reviewers have mentioned, the problem with the pizza is the crust itself. Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks it is too spongy and doughy. Like others, I felt it needed a little more time in the oven. Even with the all the oily cheese and pepperoni, I found the pizza itself to be fairly bland. It desperately needed more tangy tomato sauce. The good thing about Goodfellas is their pricing. At $2.50 for a good-sized slice, the value is hard to beat. You can also get 4 slices for $7.50. I found the people working behind the counter to be friendly and efficient. Goodfellas is what it is, a post-drinking pizza joint. So it will probably hit the spot after a night of bar hopping. Just don't expect the best pizza in the world, especially if you're not under the influence of alcohol. read more

Absolutely gross mound of undercooked dough with some cheese on top.... Will you find NY style pizza? Absolutely not. Chicago Style? Close, but very underwhelming..... This place obviously survives on two key ingredients: cheap food and drunk students.... One star for friendly service. read more

best pizza ever. love all the staff and the pizza is amazing and fluffy. some of the best and cheapest lunch prices uptown. 2 slices and a drink for $7!!!! read more

This "pizza" is really just overpriced freshly baked bread that is way too thick for the ultra thin layer of cheese and virtually nonexistent pizza sauce.....put the proper proportion of pizza sauce on it!....major pet peeve of mine! Pizza sauce isn't expensive! It just requires the pizza maker to PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS like putting enough freaking sauce on the dough so it's not simply cheese bread!! Keep in mind that some sauce gets soaked into the bread and spread the sauce around EVENLY and all the way around towards the edges and enough to be in proper proportion to the bread and cheese!....It's not rocket science or complicated French pastry!! And the guy working, that made and serves the slices at the counter, kind of had an attitude when I showed him that there was no sauce under the cheese and asked for a side of pizza sauce....it's called pizza, not cheese bread!! Blame yourself for not making it well, not the unsatisfied consumer!! This place is taking advantage of a young, naive, often drunk captive college market that is buying this crappy "pizza" because it's within walking distance to the university, dorms and bars and serves slices until 3 am. Even if that was my only option, I wouldn't go back; I'd rather just save the calories, wake up the next day and get something better. But this place has no real incentive to up its game since they've got thousands of students (during the school semesters) that will give in to their impulsive desire for warm filling bread to take the edge off their drinking buzz or hunger with no better options around, especially late at night. read more

Had a slice during a recent visit to OU. One slice is pretty filling. The sauce has a nice flavor but a bit doughy overall for my taste but ok read more

Around 2 am we found ourselves very hungry after a long night and decided to get some pizza. Once we walked in we were warmly welcomed by Joey. After ordering out pizza we had a great conversation with him. We knew he could have been doing some of his closing work but decided to talk to us instead. Overall this was the highlight of our night. The pizza was delicious. Highly recommend the pepperoni with garlic butter! read more

Holy cow! Get the meatball roll! It is unreal and for just $3.50! Best meatball sandwich I've ever eaten.

I was warned that Goodfellas, much like Flash Taco in Chicago, is a place open until 3 a.m. that survives on drunk late-nighters not knowing the food they're eating is awful. I disagree. Goodfellas has a spongy, soft, tasty slice of pizza for $2. Granted, I was drunk at 2 a.m. when I ate it. And the people you'll meet while waiting in line are priceless. read more

Love this pizza ! The fact its local makes it much more amazing and the rolls served on occassion are awesome too ! just prepare yourself that there is a lot more bread on the pizza than a average pizza for the purpose of drunks. read more

I wish there was a Goodfellas in Columbus.. just saying. Something about their thick sheets of pizza just always hits the spot (more so after a few pints). I almost always stop and get some when I am in town, if even just a slice for the ride home. Prices are pretty reasonable as well... also never tell them you want a FULL sheet unless you know what the Full sheet is. Made that mistake once.. but it turned out for the best. read more

Somehow, I remembered this as good pizza from my times in Athens a decade or so ago. Who knows, maybe things have changed, but it's really not very good. More likely, as others have mentioned, I just hadn't had enough to drink. The crust is too bready and not crisp, and the flavor just isn't there. It's cheap, I will say that. read more

Kiarash Z. review is spot on. I rarely ever eat there during the day but is good for a quick bite to eat. After the night life though, it can satisfy your craving for food during the walk home. Agreeing with KZ, you meet some interesting people while waiting in line. read more

Not good. Basically, a big hunk of undercooked bread disguised as pizza. Smelled delicious and was served quickly by a friendly worker but I was definitely too sober to eat here. read more

Favorite pizza in town! It's different than anything I've ever had. Prime drunk food and cheap!

College kids who frequent bars have a term for small food places that live off of drunk people stumbling in and getting something to eat, too drunk to care whether or not the food is even good - "drunk food." Goodfella's is drunk food. They have two small walk-up locations within a few blocks of each other selling pizza by the slice. These locations are strategically placed on the northern and southern ends of the Court Street bar scene. You can't go home from the bars without passing by one. And when you do, this is what comes to your mind. read more

Even drunk, this pizza is awful. Seriously. The crust is so thick and nothing special about the sauce or toppings. Only makes me wish more places in Athens were open late.I'd rather have gas station nachos than a bite of this again! read more

My favorite pizza in the entire world!!!!! I went home over summer break and was craving it the entire time. I love the thick, soft dough. It's a very good option for the average college student as well. The lunch specials are only about 5$ and you can get a drink a slice of pizza and a cookie, or you can choose choose from many other combinations. I know one slice sounds small but at Good Fellas the pieces are so big and thick that you'll never leave feeling hungry! The best pizza in Athens, no argument. read more

I love Goodfellas Pizza. I have ever since I came into town and tried it for the first time . Each slice is really thick and so good

Saw "pizza by the Slice" and assumed it was NY style. A tad bit disappointed when I saw it, even more disappointed after I took the first bite. Almost non edible. read more

Service was fast & friendly, but this is DEFINITELY drunk food only. I heard a lot of people talk about it, but i couldn't even eat a whole slice because it was so gross. read more

This is probably one of my favorite pizza places in Athens, OH. A lot of the other places around here take 30min for a takeout order but in GoodFellas, you'll never be waiting for more than 5-10 min for whatever you ordered. The crust is the thickest in Athens too, goes perfectly with ranch. read more

Goodfellas is not always my first choice for pizza...HOWEVER, if you are on the run, coming home from a party, or want some cheap pizza - Goodfellas is the way to go. It's yummy (but fattening!) pizza for two bucks a (big) slice. read more

Amazing. This is pizza by the slice for those late nights that you are looking for a delicious culinary adventure accompanied by your fellow overly intoxicated Athenian brethren. Cheap, delicious, and it's guaranteed that everyone can find something they like, as long as it's pizza! read more

If you are drunk get this pizza it will taste amazing if you have it sober prepare to be unimpressed.

Worst pizza in town! No wonder people only eat it when they're drunk. Doughy. Sauce is awful. Cheaply made and expensively sold. VERY overpriced but drunk students love wasting their parents' money. Side note: most employees=pricks read more

The pizza's pretty good, but it's obnoxious that they don't have boxes to carry your pizza out. Not even a plate, they give you a big gooey slice of pizza on a little paper sheet thing, it's bizarre. read more

I may have given 2.5 stars if it was an option. Not because of the taste or quality of the product. More for the nostalgia. Eating Goodfellas reminded me of pizza day in the cafeteria in Middle school. The pizza was never what I would call good, but compared to the other food served at the cafeteria, it was awesome. Goodfellas pizza was almost as good as that under whelming cafeteria pizza. I had the 2 slices for 5$ deal. Pepperoni and a plain slice. Also, you will not be able to get salt and pepper for your slices, although they could use it. read more

Really good pizza. I tend to stop in for lunch when I'm in a hurry and don't want to go back to the apartment good cheap food

This pizza is disgusting. The crust is sooooo thick. I don't understand how anyone could eat it, drunk or sober.

It's pizza by the slice! So what do you expect? Garlic buttered crust, decent prices, and a delicious blend of thin and thick pizza. Definitely ask them to cook your piece longer. Even at its worst, Goodfellas is better than a majority of everything else out there. read more
