Vinnie pizza
Amy S.

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.

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!

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.

We just stopped in for a slice of pizza and glad we did . The staff was friendly and the slice I had I enjoyed my daughter's slice was to dry for her not enough sauce . My veggie slice was delicious.

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.

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!!!!

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!

They offer picnic tables outside, and every time I've been there I have commented that I hope to sit there when the weather is nicer. The place is small, the staff is small, and the food is good, so sometimes they get pretty crowded -- occasionally I've had a long wait both in line to order and then at a table waiting for our food -- but it's worth the wait.

We had better service here than most "normal" sit down restaurants. And the food...not one item we have tried was bad, the vast majority have been the best in their category. Best mozzarella sticks: it's obvious it's a higher quality mozz than whatever everyone else uses. Crispy perfection! Best GF/cauliflower pizza: lots of toppings to choose from (though somehow chicken isn't an option on DD) and again, from the mushrooms to the sauce, you can taste the difference. They make the sauces in house! According to my husband, best Chicken Parm he has had since moving here! You get a healthy portion. And...best cannoli in the area! Growing up in a predominantly Italian and Polish area, I have been lucky to have REALLY good Italian pastries...and their cannoli was reminiscent of those times. This has been the ONLY cannoli in the greater Cincy area that is worth consuming, IMO. All in all, we would dine in at Il Gusto constantly, if we lived closer. Glad they're on DoorDash though! If you are in the Kenwood area, and want a break from the chaos and crowds, Il Gusto is close by!

Okay, I understand the hype! Bourbon House Pizza does Chicago deep dish pizza perfectly. My husband…read moreand I split one of the supreme pizzas and got Italian sausage and mushrooms in it. It was honestly so delicious, and oddly enough was even better reheated the next day! (Reheated great in a toaster oven) It also came out quicker than I expected. (With it being Chicago deep dish, I was prepared to wait!) We also got their appetizer sampler. The items were good, but the pizza balls definitely stood out! The dough was so fantastic and clearly homemade. It was perfectly buttery and flaky, yet firm structural. The sauce was also delicious. A must: pairing everythingggg with their house made ranch. My brother got a steak hoagie and was pretty disappointed when a small sandwich with a meat patty and a side of potato chips is what came out. It just didn't match the caliber of the pizza at all. We also got to Italian sub style hoagies, and those were both small and underwhelming as well. The dining room had a bit of a disheveled feel but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was off. The servers were attentive and kind. We parked at the Levee and walked over. Overall synopsis: I actually can't wait to get pizza here again!!!

We stopped in before a show at Southgate House. It was a Friday and we made reservations for 5:30…read more Reservations at this time were not needed; it was not crowded. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. They have outside seating, which could be nice in the right weather, though the area is just feet from the main drag. Our server was fine. I have no real recollection of them. We ordered a deep dish, looking to find a pizza as good as Zachary's in California. Bourbon House Pizza is not as good as Zachary's, but it is the best deep dish pizza we've tried in the Cincinnati area since we've been back in Cincinnati since 2021. We made our own pizza in an attempt to match our favorite - spinach and mushrooms. It was good. I enjoyed the sauce on top. Under the sauce, the cheese was very thick making the overall taste of the pizza very cheesy. We had a similarly cheese deep dish in Chicago. Our pizza at Bourbon House was better. I will say the crust is thick. I would have eaten the crust if there had only been two pieces per person. Since I was faced with potentially eating four pieces, I opted to skip the crust. One of our group asked if she could order from the kid's menu. The server had no issue with the request. Oddly enough, her meal was huge! We were all surprised it was a kid's meal. Our fourth ordered a small pizza. It looked like it had pineapple on it. I didn't ask how it was, but he ate every bite. It must have been a small and it was the perfect single serving size. Oh... we ordered a medium deep dish. It was eight pieces and was too much for two people. Because we were going to a show after dinner, we didn't box up the leftover two pieces. This size pizza would be great for four people to share. We will continue to look for great deep dish pizza, but we definitely found a good one at Bourbon House Pizza.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family.

The calzones are generously stuffed, baked to golden-brown excellence, and bursting with savory goodness. Don't miss the hoagie sandwiches--each bite is packed with hearty meats, fresh veggies, and just the right balance of seasoning. And the lasagna... wow.
