my new favorite pizza in town. staff are great, too. bar upstairs is outstanding. great beers on tap, and lots of whiskey if that's your thng. great jukebox, and just a great place to hang out, eat your pizza and drink good beer. I plan on returning frequently. I am a little hesitant to let the secret out as I would hate to see this place become overcrowded, but they definitely deserve the business.
Review Source:Goodfells is a new pizza joint that has opened up in Mainstrause and if you're out enjoying a few beers and need a late night snack- Goodfellas is an okay place to go. My husband and I went out for a few drinks one Saturday night and decided to grab a small 16 inch pizza to take home. It was okay. I found that the sauce was very peppery and even with ordering extra cheese, there's not enough on there for my liking. I guess there's a shortage in the cheese world? They offer a 'pay per slice' option if you only want one piece, or you can order an actual pizza. The plus side is you can grab a beer and watch tv while you wait.
I wouldn't make it a point to go here for dinner but grabbing a slice or a whole pie on the way home from the bars is a good idea. I've never tried Lucy Blue's pizza, so I can't compare to other late night pizza joints in the area, but this does beat the heck out of Taco Bell or White Castle.
I went to Goodfellas for the first time tonight and it's already like my new favorite place. Â It was a little confusing when we first went in because the downstairs is just a pizza counter - which is all well and good, and the guys working there were super friendly. Â But upstairs is where it's at! Â
The bar is awesome!! Â And the bartenders are super nice and knowledgable too. Â I'm pretty sure they had at least 10 beers on tap, a bottle selection, tons of bourbon, and some cider. Â They also have a great cocktail list, and most of them are just $6 - that's a steal compared to a lot of other bars these days. Â I had The Capo, which was essentially a Pimm's Cup with rye whiskey - it was amaaaaazing! Â I also had the Audrey Hepburn, which was fruity and delicious too. Â
We found ourselves some seats on couches next to Christmas light-adorned windows overlooking Mainstrasse, with a nice view of the Bengals game on a big screen too. Â It was so comfy and cozy!! Â There's no table service so you just order at the bar, they give you a number, and bring your pizza to you. Â We got an artichoke, spinach, sundried tomato and sausage pizza, and it was heavenly!!! Â Close to, if not THE best pizza I've ever had. Â The ingredients were fresh and very good quality. Â Everything about this place was good quality. Â
At one point I wanted to smoke so I went out the exit on the second floor, hoping for a small balcony to shiver on and instead found myself a huge, brand new looking multi-level deck with extensive seating and heaters too!! Â
I can't find one complaint to make about this place. Â I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone and I'll definitely be back!
This place is definitely my new hangout in Main Strasse. First of all, they have regular hours, which is more than I can say for Lucy Blue or Fatty Patty's. And to walk in and grab a hot slice of great NY style pizza any time you want is awesome- the only downfall is that that slice might not have just popped out of the oven, which is why I only am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. If you want the best pizza around, call ahead and order it. A note on their large pizza: it's so freaking big, Jimmy Hoffa might be buried under it-no lie, you have to tilt the box to get it through your front door. Â Now- if you REALLY want your mind blown, order the calzone! Pure heaven! The crust is crispy on the outside, but warm and soft on the inside, and when you order it with your favorite ingredients, it will always be fresh, and so good that I rarely even use the dipping sauce.
Also, the upstairs bar is staffed with some of the BEST bartenders I have ever met. Fun, friendly, and BEYOND knowledgeable on their mixology. As a former bartender myself, even I am impressed with their huge selection of bourbons and other not-so-typical liquor and drink selection. (Pimm's Cup, anyone?) It's a great place for a casual date on a weeknight, and always fun on the weekends if you're not into loud obnoxious club scenes.
The only real negative I see here is that this place is gonna make me fat! Oh, and I wish they delivered.
The pizza is good, a little greasy maybe. What you should expect ordering by the slice New York style pizza in Covington, KY. However, the lounge upstairs is fully stocked and makes some of the best specialty cocktails you'll find in the Mainstrasse area. Around $10 for the featured drinks, more standard pricing for beer and typical liquor drinks. It may seem a bit pricey, but if you're going to actually appreciate good drink making and not just get see how drunk you can get, it's well worth it. If you're looking for volume over quality, there are plenty of other places in the area that are more suitable.
3/5 for the food
5/5 for the upstairs bar
Incredibly good pizza located convienently in the Mainstrasse village. Â While there if you have the chance go upstairs to visit the Wiseguys bar - fantastic new bar with over 100 bourbons and a very helpful/friently bartending crew! Â Don't forget the outside area behind th building - both on the ground and second level.
Review Source:I like this place. Â It worries me that it might overwhelm Lucy Blue, which I also like, but the pizza is undeniably good. Â The upstairs bar is also pretty cool, although very small. Â It has a classy atmosphere. Â I've been to Goodfellas numerous times, and it's always been a good experience. Â Having Bell's Two-Hearted on tap is also a plus. Â This is a nice improvement to Main Street, unlike some of the other newer businesses. (*cough* Old Kentucky Hipster Bar *cough*)
I have a feeling these guys will be around for awhile.
I have had GoodFellas before during festivals here in CVG and thought the world of it. It has always been hot, fresh and cooked perfectly with a lot of value in the price.
Having said that, after some anticipation awaiting their grand opening, I went last night (Friday night at 11:30p).
I was SO disappointed with the pizza. When I walked in there were about four or five people ahead of me ordering so I had some time to decide what I wanted to order by looking through the glass warmer case. Looking over the pizzas in the display it was clear none of them had recently come out of the oven. I ordered a slice of pepperoni and a slice of a mixture of things, one of them being shrimp.
When it came time to ring me up the guy who plated my pizza told the cashier $3 and $5, an indication of the price to ring me up with. He told him not once, not twice but three times because the cashier was so engaged in conversation with the folks who had paid ahead of me that he didn't hear the prices. Finally he realized I had been waiting there to pay and he had to ask the other worker how much my order was. Â I wouldn't have minded if it was a matter of seconds but it was about a minute plus the few times the other guy tried getting him back on track to ring up myself and a couple others in line behind me.
That was a little weak from a service standpoint but hey, it was 11:30 on a Friday so I wasn't expecting much by way of service.
Now on to the value. I swear on anything holy that there was just one tiny piece of shrimp on my slice, that's it. I can't comprehend how they came up with that price point. If I would have known the cost before they plated it I would have ordered something else. Unfortunately it appeared to be the best of the "old" slices in the window so I chose it.
They both tasted like they looked, barely warm with somewhat dried up sauce and cheese to match and a fraction as good as my previous experiences with GoodFellas.
I'm left wondering: How is it possible that these guys can turn out a better product at a festival, cooking out of the back of a trailer, than when they have a full, brand new kitchen at their disposal?
You have some improvements to make GoodFellas. Until you work out the kinks you've earned the name MediocreFellas, at best.
