Godfather's Pizza — Restaurant in Lexington

First of all. I love Godfathers Pizza and get all nostalgic whenever there’s one available because I have fond childhood memories of yummy pizza and summertime pool parties and such. Anyway, this is not one of those stories.

On the way back home from a 5 hour road trip we were Yelping for a good cheat meal because we already had popcorn and pancakes today so what the hell. And behold a Godfather’s Pizza! A freestanding one! A 4 out of 5 stars one! The GPS was effectively adjusted and off we were with slightly salivated enthusiasm to the restaurant.

It’s located in a strip and the parking lot was pretty empty. We walk inside and are immediately met with a handwritten note behind a bell that read “please ring for service.” Um what? I look up and also notice that the sanitation score hidden behind a door on wood paneled wall is 88.5. Um WHAT?! So an employee comes out and asked what she can get for us and when I asked her why they have that low of a score, she said “oh I don’t know. I wasn’t here when they went through that.”

Second of all this is problematic. Not the fact that she wasn’t there but the fact that no matter her role, she’s an employee and should always know what is required of her to ensure food safety in her job. It doesn’t matter if she did it or the person who got fired last week: deflecting is not the answer. I would have preferred (if she truly didn’t know) that she at least ask someone. She didn’t. And neither did she seem concerned. She told us we could look it up online. We were going to and we did. Right there in the parking lot. See attached picture.

Let’s just say there was all kinds nasty unsafe food practices going on in there. Also the place was dingy and filthy. Usually I don’t score a place unless I’ve tried it but nah. I didn’t...

Been wanting to try this one for some time now and we tried it Saturday and I can say that we will definitely NOT be back. First of all I remember Godfathers pizza from long ago when I lived in Georgia - I thought they had all shut down until I saw this location a month or so ago and was so excited and couldn't wait to try it. So this past Saturday my husband and I were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. We walked in and both ordered the buffet. We sat down in a booth and went up to the buffet which there was only maybe 3 pizzas on it. And they all looked exactly the same. We each got a piece and it was very greasy. Then my husband went back and got some of the breadsticks that was also on the buffet but there was no dipping sauce - both containers were empty. So I asked the guy if they had any sauce and he went to the refrigerator and took out a small plastic container of COLD sauce and handed it to me. I said oh can you warm it please - we don't like COLD sauce and he looked baffled. He said there was no way to warm the sauce - he said they didn't have a microwave either. He said he would just set it on the "warming" tray window and it would maybe get a little warmer. I mean how long would that have taken? So my husband gave up on his breadsticks. Breadsticks are meant to have warm pizza sauce to dip. A few other pizzas were brought out but nothing too exciting. All were very greasy. They have beer in bottles (but not on tap as someone mentioned in another post). This restaurant needs some major management skills to train the employees making the pizza. We...

The only reason I would give one star is because the pizza was good. We only went to this restaurant because we used to love Godfathers way back in the day. We wanted to know if this was the same as it used to be. We walked in and there was a girl working at the front counter. She asked if she could help us and she took our order for a small pizza for dine in. It was 3:13pm. We had to get bottle drinks because they are not doing any other drinks I'm guessing because of Covid...lol. they are charging $2.15 each for bottled drinks. Even water... We sat down and started waiting. After about 20 minutes we went and asked if we could get our drinks. After 45 minutes and after asking how much longer we finally got our pizza... like I said in the beginning the pizza was good. The young lady that was working there was the most unpleasant person I've probably ever encountered at a restaurant. There were several people complaining about the wait... there was a woman waiting for a carryout order that had been waiting for an hour and a half. Only to be given burnt breadsticks and cheesesticks. We most definitely will not be back. It's a shame because Godfathers was always so great. The girl's...
