Grabbed a few slices Friday night as I was heading back up north. I'd had a couple of drinks and a mega slice was just the key to soak it up. Awesome to pop in, be greeted with a smile and pop out with piping hot pizza! I bought 2 slices for my husband, but ended up eating mine AND half of one of his on the way home, lololol! Its a long ride to college hill!
I used to have to go across the river for Goodfellas pizza, they have a spot in MainStrasse. Then they built this wonderful place downtown. Its in an amazing location right on Main Street and I love how its set up. Downstairs is the kitchen and where you get your slices and upstairs is the wiseguy lounge. Which is one of the few bars I can get my husband to go hang out in because of the amazing pizza! They have an awesome selection of beer on tap and a wall of Bourbon, so whatever your fancy they have something you will enjoy! The bartenders are pretty good at asking what you like and giving a suggestion that is spot on.
The pizza here (and at any Goodfellas location, especially the one in Covington's mainstrasse) is superb, the best example of true foldable NYC by-the-slice street pizza you will find anywhere in Cincinnati. Their motto is "size does count" and indeed this is a huge slice cut from a 22inch pie, but I return time and time again for the quality and value. Just three dollars gets you an enormous slice of plain cheese pie, and a little more per topping. The crust, sauce, and cheese are all well above average quality for the type.

Posted on 20 May, 2015 By Mindy Trujillo Leave a comment One of the things I love about writing this blog, is that people have started recommending places that they love! This includes my hairdresser, Josh. So, the way the story goes, his best friend is the bartender at Goodfellas in OTR and therefore, Josh spends quite a bit of time there. Now, Josh knows I don’t drink, but he also knows how much I love pizza….thin crust pizza. This is why he sent me to Goodfellas . By the way, the one in Anderson Township isn’t the same restaurant (not spelled the same or owned by the same people). Goodfellas serves thin, New York-style pizza . These are big, triangle slices that you fold over and just dig into! The crust is both thin and crispy and the cheese is oozy, gooey! You know what I mean…you take a bite and the cheese strings out of your mouth. Not pretty, but perfect. Since this was our first time at Goodfellas, we went traditional and basic: pepperoni . It truly is New York-style with just the right combination of cheese and grease and sauce. Keep in mind, the pizza in the pic below is a small pizza; the slices sold individually are much bigger. Up front, by the window, you can watch the dough being tossed in the air! Don’t know why, but that makes me happy. In addition to ordering a small pepperoni, we also tried a slice of sausage and onion. Our favorite side? The Extra Large Breadstick ! It is a big ass breadstick folks. And we crushed it. There is a really nice, roomy bar upstairs (the building actually has three levels) so if you are out late, grab a drink and a slice! You can eat at the upstairs bar. Or, if you want to have a few drinks, do that first and then grab a slice. Or, just head in for pizza and skip the bar. Even if you aren’t drinking, you can eat upstairs, too. Did I mention you can get a whole pizza or order by the slice ? I’d skip the desserts simply because you’ll be too full and because I don’t think they are made locally.
This southern girl fell in love!!! I flew to Cincinnati from New Orleans for the weekend to visit my mom and we had dinner here tonight. Im absolutely obsessed with this place! The pizza is phenomenal, the breadsticks are literally longer than deer legs and the service is top tier. I loved the outback patio!! Will def be back :)
Didn't know you can get legit NY style pizza in Cincinnati. Crispy crust and delicious sauce.
Great pizza, chewy crust and fresh ingredients! Took the pizza to go but want to go back and check out the speakeasy.
Great dinner prior to Ensemble Theater! Friendly service, reasonable prices, nice atmosphere.
The staff here was really nice and personable! We came in right before the crowd got there. They were very friendly. We ordered a whole pizza and it took about 20 minutes to make give or take a bit. It was basic, half cheese, and half pepperoni. The crust was soft and melted in your mouth. The signature for me was whatever they made their sauce with really stood out from other pizza joints I've been to. There's a huge bar upstairs I'd recommend as well. But the pizza and friendly staff are my reasons for wanting to come back!
This is a weekly lunch spot for myself and my office mates . Great NY style slices and the breadstick with dipping sauce could be a meal by itself. The lunch deal is an absolutely insane value! Staff there is AMAZING. We have patronized this place dozens upon dozens of times, and the folks behind the counter are ALWAYS on top of their game with a great attitude. Nice outdoor space. Chill bar area upstairs. In the heart of OTR.
Fun multi-story pizza joint. They have wiseguy lounge on the second floor with loft seating as well. Great seasonal and full cocktail menu, lots on draft as well. Everything we tried was delicious. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is chill with a cool vibe. There is also a two story outdoor patio. The pizza menu is great as well with salads, sides, calzones, and a sub. They have giant NY slices that you can get by the slice and you can even get a huge 22in pizza. Highly recommend.
Really great pizza and bread. Drinks up stairs were top notch as well. Service was excellent. Price was really good too.
recommend!! throughly enjoyed our time here and the food was super tasty! loved that we could order by the slice and the options they had. would definitely come back again!
Excellent pizza and breadsticks, great drink variety, reasonable prices, a fine choice for a night out!
