I took the trip to Goodfellas on Hylan Blvd in Dongan Hills. It’s a nice small pizza place that prizes itself in its fair share of awards. Their pizzas were even part of the International Pizza Expo.
When I first came here (OH SO LONG AGO) I finally tried the Mozzarella en Corrozza and I fell in love with it ever since.
Goodfellas uses a Wood Burning Brick Oven to make their pies.
I could’ve sworn from the first time I came here I thought it was Neapolitan Pizza (with the nice bubbly crust and soft texture) but I guess my vision of it was so long ago.
I ordered the Mozzarella en Corrozza (as usual with any place that has that appetizer) and a Regular Pie, as well as a Smoking Goodfellas (for the sake of writing this review I will only write about the Regular Pie I had).
The Regular Pie is topped with Fresh Mozzarella, what I believe is Plum Tomato Sauce (please correct me if I’m wrong), Basil and Pecorino Romano Cheese.
Texture wise the pie was great, it was nice and charred and has that perfect taste that you would expect from a wood-burning oven (that is not Monster Pizza).
However, there was a little bit too much sauce for me for a pie that uses Fresh Mozzarella. I felt that the sauce over powered the pie for me that I actually took some of it off on my last slice.
The quality of everything else was perfect and the owner is super nice. Before we were served we went on to talk about cameras and his ambition to take pictures of a full garden of flowers.
Service was also amazing. Second on my list of a good spot is service. That means keep checking up on the party, making them feel at home, and serve everyone with a smile. Overall everything was perfect, I will have to revisit the pie with shredded mozzarella to see if distribution of the sauce was more even.
