Goodfellas Pizzeria

Let me start by saying that the theme is so fun! The decor is sleek.The food, service, and cleanliness were all great. We got greeted right in the door. So I gave it four stars NOT because of any of that, but while waiting for our food a explicit song came on the speaker being played while a child was there. Being a mother, I try not to have my kids listening to anything inappropriate. I feel that if they are going to be playing new music that it should at least be the clean version. I understand if it was a bar setting but it's a restaurant.

Very tasty pizza. As a NJ native, it was refreshing to find a place in Bloomington that makes good NY-style pizza. It seems like all of the other local places I have tried around here opt for a drier crust with a super low tomato sauce:cheese ratio, focusing more on interesting toppings than on the basics. This might be a Midwestern preference, since my roommates are Ohio natives and prefer that style. The result, for me, often lacks moisture or any chewiness whatsoever. The basics (the crust, sauce, etc.) are what make the pizza, and toppings should complement those basics rather than masking any deficiencies. It's nice to know that I can grab a slice here whenever I need a taste of home. Am looking to trying the ricotta pie at some point. Update: Ordered the white pie. It was pretty good in terms of flavor, but the amount of ricotta they gave for a >$20 16-inch pie was a joke. The lumps of ricotta were tiny, most slices only had one lump, and one slice had none at all. I recognize that it was a busy day to order (game day) but I feel strongly that when you charge a lot for a pretty simple pie that you don't skimp on the ingredients.

I’ve been to the one in Indianapolis and loved it, so I was eager to try the new Bloomington location. I was not disappointed. Super friendly staff, the food was fresh, and tasted great. Looking forward to returning again soon!
