GoodFellas pizzeria of SunnySide — Restaurant in New York

First let me get this out of the way. I was given the opportunity to have two slices for free here via Yelp Elite. I did however also buy 4 other slices that were not complementary. I went in with high hopes of this being a great spot for a slice, and especially since this is my first time having a Yelp funded experience. The 3 stars is solely for the food. It would be 3.5 but you can't do half a star. The half would be for the friendly staff & clean place.

The atmosphere is nice. It's a small spot with some decent decor. Nothing screamed "GoodFellas / Mafia" from the name. Two large tv screens with the menu & a third with their business name.

Food: Regular slice is ok. Nothing that would make me come back, or sadly tell anyone about. The specialty slice I had, chicken & ranch, was good. It tasted fresh & the crust was nice. It was lacking in flavor a bit. I ordered the Sicilian / Grandma slice. It wasn't that good. It has a weird after taste to it. The Buffalo chicken was meh. The chicken on top was kinda mushy in texture. Now the star was the vegetable slice. That was yummy. It was fresh & tasted good. Sadly not enough to warrant the drive here.

Overall not a bad spot to hit if you're nearby, but not worth a drive. Parking is hard around here.

**My Yelp review I stated I didn’t get my drinks. I know the sign says “cheese” however the guy serving me said he’d give it to me. Didn’t say you we’re being petty? @Andres/Owner —- you say you want criticism but your attitude & response...

I can only speak from my personal experience and maybe I’ll be back to be completely sure but here we go: The pizza was as shown when I took 2 slices and a drink to go. $6 lunch special can’t beat the price, but you get what you pay for. Pizza is very average, thin crust but a bit too thin, cheese very runny and slice greasy. Crust was really good though. Overall flavor was just average, not a “Dying to come back to” spot but the guys are nice and service was good (aside from how my pizza was packaged but its cool) If this is the standard though that some in the reviews see as “Best pizza” contender then my personal experience aside I think yall need a drug test. Try it yourself for your own experience, like I said maybe it was an off day but so far this is definitely not anything...

The place is new and very clean, everyone was nice and friendly and the garlic knots are decent but the pizza was not good at all. The sauce tasted like it came out of a cheap can, the New York style slice was drenched in oil to the point where it was soggy and falling apart but the crust was okay, the sicilian slice was better but the crust was burned to a crisp and it tasted burned. Not only is the pizza not well made, it is very over priced. I paid $11 for two slices and garlic knots. Also I have no idea how they got so many reviews when they just opened, regardless if the pizza is improved and the prices are lowered it will be a...
