Amazing pizza, closest to nyc pies so that's a plus. Would definitely recommend, the staff is also kind.

Pizza came out fairly quick for being made on the spot. They have inside and outside seating. There are plenty of toppings at each table: Parmesan cheese, red pepper, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and hot sauce. read more

Ordered a pizza to go, and it was huge and tasty. Price was reasonable too. Only downside, the staff seemed pretty busy, so it was a little hard to flag someone down when I needed something. read more

Goodfellas Pizzeria - OTR - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Goodfellas Pizzeria, located in Pleasant Ridge and OTR, serves authentic, hand-tossed pizza and is a local favorite, often voted "the best." With fresh dough, house-made sauces, and stone-baked pies, they deliver a true New York-style experience, plus late-night slices until 3 AM. Perfect spot for a late-night craving! Ambiance was great outdoors with lights and murals. I do feel like there are better pizza places around but this is a solid option for being open so late. read more

The pizza sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. The slices were very cold. I assumed any slice would always be reheated, unless it was a pizza fresh out of the oven. Still, this place is better than most others nearby. If you need pizza, I think this is the best option in the area. read more

This was my first time trying this place, and the customer service was great. I ordered the pepperoni, bacon, and pineapple pizza as it was decent, and there was definitely a big rush of people grabbing pizza, which helped convince me to give it a try. I might go for one of their specialty pizzas next time. I also noticed the building has three floors with different seating areas, perfect for lounging or dining with friends or family, plus there's a bar. Overall, a solid first visit! read more

The place is really nice. They got a couple of different areas you can eat in outside and inside. The bar was beautiful. It had over 100 types of different whiskeys. The pizza was delicious. Only thing I wish I would've asked for I don't even know if they would've done, it was to get it. Cut in squares, but everything was wonderful. It's a really nice place. The staff was extremely sweet as well. read more

The pizza was hot and delicious! The staff was super friendly and fun. They seemed to have good friendships and were having a good time while at work. I would come back for sure. read more

I was starving at almost midnight. I felt so guilty for coming in so close to close but EJ treated me so kindly. Worth every single cent. HOT FREASH AND DELICIOUS read more

This location just keeps giving and giving... love the multi-levels, patios, and staircases. It's like a labyrinth of pizza! Half-priced Mondays are a steal. 12in pizzas for half price (originally starting at $14). Goodfellas is so, so good. I had ample toppings which can be hard to come by as most local pizzerias are stingy on their toppings. Loooved the nacho cheese sauce option for their giant breadsticks. Customer service was superb from the cashier to the chef. Once they realized they had misread my order, it was very quickly rectified with a huge portion of the topping missed. I couldn't ask for better service. My daughter and I took a trip to the very top level and the views are stunning of Pendleton. The swanky brown couches and rustic wood are gorgeous and elevate the dining experience. I would absolutely bring friends or my husband for a date! read more

We were in the mood for some good pizza, and this was close by. The building exudes that old time brick NY feel. They were rushed a bit but all in all good. From ordering to pizza, it was maybe twenty minutes. There is no table service once you order. We headed upstairs to find seats near the bar. We ordered the namesake "Goodfellas" pizza and the Vinnie for our party of four. The guys thought the meat toppings on the Goodfella were kind of light give the cost and description. The Vinnie was great with the olive oil base. The ambiance was solid and could see us grabbing a drink here too. read more

Pizza can be excellent or just ok, depending on how long it has sat in the windows. The breadsticks are consistently good with a cheese cup (a Midwest tradition) and are huge. The really awesome part is the bourbon bar upstairs. This is one of the best selections around. Great bartenders as well, they seriously run a tight ship. A frequent stop for us when we are in OTR. read more

This serves a great purpose in the community. Reasonably priced, nice quality pizza, and fast. I have stopped by twice recently: the first to get my daughter food to enjoy at Pins and the second for a weekday work lunch. In both instances, the line went very quickly and the staff was very pleasant. The pizza itself is above average. I am sure it's better when it's hot... Both times it was a bit lukewarm.. but good. I really like the bread sticks. The weekday lunch special is a really nice value. When I ate there during lunch, I found the restaurant to be clean and the tables upstairs to be spaced out well. read more

This, pizza, sneaky, cheese is their graph, their cheese is their money, 9/10 do not even need extra. Sauce good, crust decent. Works, and quit that sauce tipping. Try to join the Goodfellas and smack the Goodfellas large pie in your face. read more

I had literally just stepped out of a multiple hour dinner affair at a nearby restaurant but wasn't about to vomit from the quantity I ate so I felt obliged to stop into this place for a slice. There were legit bouncers outside which I initially found intimidating. I didn't realize you had to provide an ID to get pizza. Is that an Ohio thing? Interesting. There was a line but it moved quick. I ordered a classic cheese slice but the bread sticks, which are about as long as GF is tall, were too appealing to pass up. I selected marinara to accompany that shit. I saw somewhere that they are claiming to be NY pizza. I grew up in NY so NY pizza is my baseline. I don't know where it falls on the scale between cincinnati pizza and NY pizza but it isn't NY pizza. It was, however, decent in its own way. Not good enough where I felt compelled to finish it at the time but I did take care of it the following morning. There wasn't nearly enough sauce. I did like the crust, which held up pretty well. There was a flavor that was unique and enjoyable. Ultimately, it was mostly bread and cheese which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just not what I consider pizza. The breadstick was massive and good enough. The marinara sauce wasn't great tho. read more

One of my favorite places in OTR. They have a great lunch deal that ends at 3PM with huge slices of pizza that need two plates. The employees were super nice and told me about the upstairs seating. I also tried outside when the weather was warmer. read more

It was late on Saturday night and we just got into Cincinnati. We tried a couple restaurants but they stop serving food around 9pm to 10pm. When we were walking out of another restaurant a guy was nice enough to recommend Goodfellas pizza. We walked to it which on a cold winter night may have not been to smart. I ordered a Calzone and a caprese salad. My husband order a 12 inch pizza. We both were pleasantly surprised and so full we couldn't finish all the food. I really liked the sauce because it was on the sweeter side. The pizza looked delicious. The place was crowded, it really may be the only place open late in the night. We love to people watch while waiting for our food. The food was made fresh as it was ordered. We highly recommend Goodfellas for friendly staff and good food. read more

Found this hidden gem in OTR, now it's my favorite! Order straight from the pie case (which is always roasting fresh pizzas) or you can order off their menu which includes calzones, a meatball sub, cheese bread, and more! They also have a super nice enclosed patio area outback with a bar open Thursday-Sunday with live music every Thursday! Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Really cool location, the outside patio is a fun spot to have a drink and hang out. Live music was great. Some of the best pizza I've ever had. Highly recommend. read more

Everything is just amazing. HUGE breadsticks and slices, good options and really cool vibe. Definitely recommend!!

Crispy foldable crust, slice bigger than plate, amazing price. Lady serving behind the counter provided excellent service. No notes.

Needed a place to grab food before headed to PIns down the road. This was perfect for sharing... pizza and breadsticks for a group of 9. Service was friendly and quick to the point.. how do you want your pie?? Def worth the stop read more

I've never heard of this place until last night and I think, in my opinion, it's very much a hidden gem in Cincinnati. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere on the main floor felt like a movie pizza joint! Absolutely stunning! I didn't think it could get any better... and then we went upstairs! The upstairs was beautifully set up with three ginormous shelves of liquor and perfect lighting. Service was great as well! Absolutely would recommend going here!!!! read more

I come here all the time! Their lunch special is amazing. Around $10 for a huge slice of pizza, a salad or breadstick, and a fountain drink. It's literally 3 stories with the most insane rustic bar you could think of. The kind with the sliding ladder. At night this place has turned into our post bar spot, complete with craft cocktails to keep the night going! Everyone here is so friendly too! read more

Amazing Pizza by the slice. It's a New York style pizza. We got one slice apiece and was more than enough.

Pretty decent overall! I'm a New Yorker and even more so I'm from the Bronx. So pizza is my thing. I thought the pizza was decent here, the sauce was thicker than I'd like but good flavor. The pizza had major bubbles that's just a cooking thing...it's NY style not brick oven. The bread sticks are ridiculously long but good flavor. The cheese was good as well, the deinks are free refill and the prices are about $4 a slice. Can't complain about price 3 slices a mega long breadstick and a side of sauce and 2 drinks $25. Atmosphere is cool and chill, Tv was on, seating upstairs downstairs, and outside. It's nice to buy pizza by the slice it's few and far between once you leave the east coast. 7.25/10 read more

How do you visit OTR and not swing by Goodfellas?! Pizza is always fresh, salads are yummy and it's all ready to go! Spend as much or as little time here- considering there's a bar on the second floor, there isn't a reason to leave. Employees are always engaged and working hard. The place is small so if you see a line just be patient- the line moves quickly and it's worth it! Pizza by the slice, memories by the handful! read more

Goodfellas Pizzeria - OTR - Pepperoni (one topping), Veggie Combo (3 toppings), breadstick with nacho cheese - Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Horrible service. They ID you even if you only order pizza, and are incredibly rude. My girlfriend and I were waiting in line behind all these loud frat kids, and I distinctly heard the one "security" guy say "haha, I'm gonna let his b**** in, but not him", and then did just that, while sexually harassing my girlfriend. We went elsewhere. Some friends of mine got a roach cooked into their pizza. The one in Pleasant Ridge is hardly any better. If I could give them less than one star for their cardboard pizza slop that falls off the crust when you pick it up and disgustingly rude service, I would. 0 out of ten. read more

Goodfellas in OTR is in a lively area and has a fun and relaxed environment. The large space allows you to choose from several different vibes and the quality of the food is solid. The Bootlegger and Cousin Vinny were very good and had high quality ingredients. That being said, the prices are quite high for pizza. read more

Love, love, love this amazing real pizza place! Run don't walk. It's worth it. It's so similar to NYC style pizza. The cheese is excellent quality. Service and the atmosphere are perfect for their delicious pie! I highly recommend. read more

Visiting from out of town, craving pizza, hear about this place from friends, do, to try this place based off the amount of recommendation!! As soon as you walk in it seems sort of like a small space, but it is three floors high with plenty of room. We were greeted immediately by a guy spinning a pizza and the smells of fresh pizza was inviting! We ordered a slice and a beer - there was even a full fancy bar on the second floor. I order a veggie slice and hubby had pepperoni! Food & drinks were great! This place was great for date dinner or even family dining!! read more

I must say I'm disappointed but my fellow Cincinnati people have said it before " goodfellas is no where near NYC pizza " well today I found out ... service was rough like I was an idiot and pizza was as thin as the cardboard box , I ordered half pep half cheese and noticed the pep was light " the guy said " it's 15 slices per half a pie " which was horrible I counted 12 for $29.00 I should have went somewhere else very disappointed. My jaw hurts from chewing crust was burnt , dough was chewy , skimmed on the cheese and pepp... this ain't New York pizza sorry read more

Terrible service. Had a long day , figured I would grab a slice. I asked the man with the dirty beanie on if he could add pepperoni to my slice. It was a big issue ? I didnt mind paying. It wasn't the dirty hat or the fact they couldn't add a couple of slices of pepperoni ( the pepperoni I slice had 2 on it) it was his terrible attitude. Gross. Moving on ... read more

Jamarie made THEE BEST CALZONE for me on Fri 9/12/25. When I opened the box it was very clear that Pride was and is taken in his work. Not only was its artistically crafted ( not a mound of dough with air slits stuffed with fillings), it was a perfect balance of cheese and vegetables. U did yo' thang! read more
