*edit* ***After some sleep and thinking about it, I changed my review from 2 stars to 3 stars since I was peeved and was being harsh at the time of my initial review and, also, what I am peeved about is more my personal feeling and my word is not law or universal code. I gave the extra star because service was good, the pizza was good, they delivered it in a more than timely fashion, corrected their mistake and sent the new, correct pizza within 20 minutes. The delivery driver also represented the restaurant well and was respectful and apologized for their mistake, which is huge in my book.*** The initial review: I will start off by saying that they're pizza is good, but I do not care for their business practice by wasting food. This is the first time I ordered from them. I am babysitting my nephew in the area and he LOVES their pizza so I ordered a pizza an hour or so ago. Large with pepperoni and olives. When I received the pizza, it was missing the olives and they left the order receipt in the pizza box that says "Large pizza: pepperoni, olives" so it was clearly their mistake. I called back and spoke to the same lady who took my order about their mistake and my options were that they bring me a new pizza or they give me a discount on my next order. Well, I don't order from there and my nephew loves olives with his pepperoni on the pizza so I obviously asked for a new pizza. Her reply was, "We will send a new one and come pick up the other one." Yea, they were going to pick it up lol Well, I work 10 hour days and I hadn't eaten all day other than a light snack since that's all I have time for. Anyways, I ate some slices because my nephew might be a little picky, but I'm not and I was starving! When the delivery guy came and dropped it off, he actually asked for the pizza back. The delivery driver was a nice guy, very respectful and had great customer service and he was embarrassed for asking. He even said that he hates asking for the pizza back because it isn't right and when I asked what do they do with it, he chuckled and didn't even answer the question. He just said it was their business practice. So I want to safely assume they just throw it away, which is completely wasteful and really unsanitary. Yes, I did get the pizza I eventually wanted and that makes up for their mistake, but asking to take back a pizza that has been in someone else's house that has been partially eaten is disgusting. Especially because you know they are throwing it in the trash when the rest of my family would've eaten it, with the exception of my nephew. Pretty shady practice just because you might think people will lie about an order and won't give them their new, CORRECT pizza unless you give them back their mistake pizza. Ugly, ugly way of business. read more

I don't think management/ownership reads these reviews. The girls that work the counter are TERRIBLE! They have no manners, forget drink orders and multiple times I've seen them not wearing masks in the restaurant and hugging other non-masked friends in the parking lot. Why have a "decorative" bottle of hand sanitizer at the counter if your not going to use it between credit card transactions. It is sad how such a good location can be run so poorly. read more

Always good food. Hearty pizza and pasta , fresh salads. Also available is a gluten free pizza

Would I eat there again? Maybe. The gluten free pizza was great. Just did a simple mushroom and those were great. The others I was with liked their pizza and salads. But I assumed they got their mask situation fixed from previous reviews. Only one person actually wore their mask. The rest either had them down or not on at all. read more

Solid pizza spot in Pacifica and much preferred to the likes of round table in Linda mar. Recommend getting ranch with the pizza here at is is certified fire. read more

GoodFellas, small pizza is the same size as the round tables extra large pizza. Did the measurements. Cheaper, bigger and you're supporting a great local spot... See for yourself. Not to mention, the pizza is amazing and the management and team are extremely friendly. They know I love ranch and got a whole tub of homemade stuff. Great team, great pizza and friendly hardworking staff read more

Bad service and rude waitress. My friend and I were there at 1:30 today. Walked in and stood just inside the entrance for about 2 minutes. No hostess/waitress came to take us to a table. We decided to sit ourselves (thinking the hostess may be busy) We sat at a table for about 10 minutes and again no one came by. Meanwhile a woman with some kids came in and the waitress took care of them. My friend decided to go get two menus which were stacked on a table by the entrance, Walked up there and very politely asked the waitress if we could have two menus. Here is the answer "There are other people in front of you" Really????? She could not just say "Sure, feel free to grab two from that stack" We got up and went to the Chinese Restaurant across the parking lot. read more

I've been ordering from Goodfellas since I moved to Pacifica five years ago. They've never done me wrong. The pizza is great and the service is always on the spot. Their not the super creative or deluxe pizza but by far a great casual choice for a pie. read more

I've given Goodfellas three 5-star reviews (original review and 2 updates) over the past 6 or 7 years, but with my last few visits I need to take it down a couple of stars. It feels like they've changed their chef/cooks and the food is different now. Their pizza wasn't my fave in the Bay Area to begin with (and, apologies, I'm a picky New Yorker when it comes to pizza), and so I didn't have it often, but it was decent enough to have once in a while if I had a craving and wouldn't be in the city. Last pizza I had, though, seemed way dough-ier and less flavorful than I remembered. I just couldn't finish it. But more than that, my favorite food at Goodfellas, their pasta, any of the variations, which has always been outstanding and really above par for a community of this size -- last two visits, no. First time a few months back, spaghetti was way overcooked -- in a way, inedible. Last time, a few weeks ago, based on my previous time, I specifically requested "al dente" to make sure they didn't overcook it. Well, the server, although extremely nice, didn't even know what that meant -- but the cook did and said he'd make it that way -- but when I got the linguine it was undercooked, the opposite of last time, but also pretty much inedible. I also had a meatball which I felt was underwhelming, not very flavorful. I will say, however, their marinara is still excellent. But my beloved Goodfellas...what's happened? read more

The best pizza in Pacifica. I have been pleased with the service recently and will continue coming back.

Where do I begin, ordered food for delivery. Told it would be 1hr and 15 mins. I said ok. At 1 hr, 40 mins, called the restaurant to see when the delivery would be made. Lady stated it would arrive momentarily. 15 mins later food arrives, pizza ice cold as well as the spaghetti being cold. Contacted the restaurant and the best they could do was to wait for the driver to return,retire a pizza, deliver it and take the cold one away. When I asked how long, she would not give me an answer to the question. Unacceptable because I live 6 blocks away. Will never order from them again . read more

Yeah not sure what happened to this place. We had two botched orders in a row. Not a huge deal. The first one was botched and we said nothing. On the second, it was so botched, correct address, but so wrong. I asked, kindly albeit, what they could do about it and they said, nothing. I asked what I should do with the pizzas and they said, whatever I want. Ok, but those will be the last orders you get from us. read more

Pizza decent not omg good but its ok definitely a good pizza for emergencies guy was polite and even tries to give best bargain

The pizza is amazing! Service is inconsistent but the quantity of food doesn't change!

Meat lasagna is delicious! Not too soft, meat is good quality. Gnocchi is doughy, which is not my favorite texture, but the marinara is outstanding. Cheese and veggies/salads are super fresh!!! Friendly, hard-working staff. read more

I ordered Tortellini with white cream sauce and a Greek Salad to go! Was very disappointed in the quality of my pasta.... they normally make the sauce creamy and flavorful... But this time the pasta was very watery with no flavor.... there was no cream sauce... instead it was a watery sauce as if they used and poured 1% milk over the entire dish. To make service less desirable... I discovered they did not include my salad . I called them to inform them and instead of an apology or service recovery..... the waitress replied " oh yeah... it's right here on my counter"! I should have let them deliver it to me..... instead I had to turn back and waste my gas to get it! Perhaps they were in a rush to close up as I ordered 30 minutes b4 closing.????? The manager seriously needs to brief the night crew to uphold their reputation they boast of " real Italian homemade sauce"! My suggestion.... inspect your food b4 you leave the restaurant........ I'm not one to complain as I order from time to time from there ...especially my favorite dish of Tortellini Alappana! And I know what cream sauce should taste like! read more

5 stars for the gluten pizza and garlic fries alone. We've also had the chicken tenders which were good. I suggest combining salads if you're wanting the produce, together they end up being the normal price of a restaurant salad anyways. ​​Nice staff, fast delivery, good location. read more

I have loved their food since they have opened and most of all, I love how I can order online for delivery. Easy peasy! Their menu list consists of pizzas named after popular mafia/mob related characters/films like The Godfather, The Untouchables, Scarface, Tony Soprano, etc. And their motto: "Only a wise guy would eat any place else" I love it! But, on to the food.... I haven't tried any of their pastas, appetizers, etc. But, they are famous for their pizzas. So far our favorites are the combination "Da Godfather" and "Pretty Boy Floyd" which I absolutely love because of the ricotta cheese and lots of garlic! YUM! The sauce and crust are pretty amazing too... My husband also loved the P-town Islander pizza which actually had strips of bacon and big chunks of pineapple, not your typical hawaiian style pizza... but it was SO GOOD! Such a hidden gem in the back of the valley of Linda Mar, I almost don't want people to know about this place :) read more

Placed an order on 7/20/15 for an extra large extra cheese with onion and sun dried tomato on thin crust and I will say they get a solid 7 on a 10 scale. I took off for crust that's good but flavorless and it needed a little more sauce (the sauce is delish) not enough sun dried tomato's on the pizza but overall very good and if the price was a little better I would order more often. The cheese was great full of flavor and not over salty and the sauce was sweet and full of flavor. Perfect amount is grease on the pizza and that's important. Don't be fooled if a pizza has no grease on it it means it's dry or they are using low end cheese. Next I think I will see how they do on an anchovy pizza in my book that tough because not enough and anchovies and it sucks but put too much and it's way salty so we will have to see. The mozzarella cheese sticks were fantastic and the marinara sauce was delish. I would like to know how much of the ingredients are fresh and what canned or bulk product. Delivery was fast and friendly except the guy forgot to give me my copy of the receipt. read more

Goodfellas Pizza & Pasta - Xtra large thin crust xtra cheese onions and sun dried tomato - Italian Near Me - Pacifica, California

I'm giving this suburban Pacifica pizza place four stars because the pizza was very good even though I allowed my girlfriend to decide on Greek which is technically an abomination. That having been said they had a few outside tables which we could sit at with our dogs. Shortly thereafter some locals showed up, clearly in the middle of a "Saturday fun day", with their dogs off leash, and said dogs promptly walked up to the column in front of us and urinated on it to mark their territory. However, our dogs seemed OK with everything but as the other locals proceeded to continue their drinking stories things got...weirder and weirder. Again the pizza was excellent, the prices were fine, I just feel like this particular shopping center is a bag full of crazy. read more

I came to visit my sister, brother in-law and my little baby niece in Pacifica. We were hungry for some good pizza. Thanks to Yelp, I found Goodfellas Pizza & Pasta. Thank you once again Yelp! I ordered, for pick-up, a 16" cheese pizza for the kids and the 16" Da Godfather. The pizza consists of pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, peppers and onions. The thin crust was perfect and the pizza was not swimming in grease. This was great tasting slice of pizza that didn't last long. I didn't think much of this pizza place because of the location. Just remember this, don't ever judge a restaurant by its location. You know a place is good when you walk in and the joint is completely full. read more

See all

I like this place. The food is decent and affordable. The serving girls are nice. But there are a few issues. The biggest issue are the cooks. There're loud. They laugh, cackle and sing. Shout at each other in Spanish. I don't want to hear that while I'm trying to enjoy my dinner. Nobody else does either. They just won't say anything. Well I will. It's not professional. Stop it. I can't act like that in front of customers on my job (nor would I). Grow up... The other thing is some of the patrons at the bar will cuss up a storm while there are children present. I get it. People in Pacifica cuss. But for f-cks sake stop doing it in-front if children! It's low class, trashy and irresponsible. read more

Ugh. Back to being awful. Goodfellas screwed up a straightforward order two times in a row. Making pizzas is not hard. This crew needs to go. Won't be back. read more

Keep this place open. They have awesome pizzas. They don't skimp and are family run. There might be room for improvement but lets give this place some love. It is amazing and for us in Pacifica it needs to be there. read more

We have seen a big decline in this place and yesterdays dine in experience pushed me to write this review. When this place first opened we were big fans of the place and the quality of the pizza. Lately on multiple occasions the pizza arrives warm at best from delivery. The wife and I were craving fresh oven hot pizza so we went to dine in to ensure a great hot pizza. What we experienced has not caused me to write this review and scratch this dump off the short list of places in PTown to frequent. We arrived around 6:30 pm there was a loud group doing an awards dinner in the restaurant. No worries its a pizza joint and a week night so we grabbed a seat and checked out the menu. Ordered 2 wedge salads not bad took awhile to get them as the place was busy and there is only one gal scrambling around like a chicken with her head cut off to serve the entire place. An hour passed by the time our pizza got to the table so we were more than ready and low on patience at this point. The wife and I were so excited about this hot fresh pizza. So we handed one another are plates and grabbed a piece of the pie. Upon grabbing the slice we look at one another in disbelief that this dang pizza is cold. WTF???How can you ordered in a restaurant and receive a cold pizza? Well Ill tell you. The solo girl waiting on the tables was on break and our pizza sat on the counter to be delivered to the table but she was outside on a break. I was so turned off at this point I wanted the check and a box for the pizza. We asked the waitress how this could happen receiving a cold pizza after waiting an hour and she offered to reheat our fresh pizza. Really?? The point here is that no one in the restaurant in in charge and there is one over worked girl waiting tables. Obviously the owner doesn't care about quality of service or product so I was compelled to write to Yelp to express our experience. Its too bad how this place has gone down hill. GoodFella's is now off the go to pizza places we like. We will not be back thanks for nothing. STAY AWAY! read more

I just got a "Tony Soprano" pizza today: chicken, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, and bleu cheese. I wouldn't say it was a bad pizza, but there were some nit-picky details that prevented it from being an excellent pizza: 1. They don't cut up the sun dried tomatoes. It's just whole tomatoes put wherever on the pizza. Please cut them up so we can get some better topping distribution and we don't have to chew on whole dried tomatoes. 2. I had 3 large slices and I tasted the bleu cheese on only 2 or 3 bites. Again, better distribution please. 3. The chicken-to-prosciutto ratio was way off. Sure, you could see the prosciutto, but it was hard to pick up any of the flavor of the prosciutto. Unlike in the other reviews, all employees were wearing masks and were very friendly. I've been here plenty of times, so here is my overall take: 1. The pizza is a bit thinner than typical California style, but is definitely NOT east coast style pizza. It tends to be a bit more bready than I would like, but is not bad, just needs more toppings for the amount your paying. 2. While the place is well setup with clean tables and gangster movie posters to fit the theme, there is a slight problem with the decor: the drunk people. I have literally never gone in there when a guy wasn't hanging out getting plastered. Some people like a location like that, but it's not what I'm looking for in a place to eat. read more

Great pizza! We ate it one day while visiting from Georgia and liked it so much we went back for more the next night.

Great pizza! Pasta was cooked just right! Great place to meet a large group! They get busy here so call ahead. Employees are kind and efficient thanks for the great service! We're regulars and we love supporting such a wonderful locaL establishment!! Keep it up! read more

My family ordered for pick up when my husband visited from Kansas. Pizza is ok, I've had better growing up in Pacifica (manor room pizza). But still tasty. I really liked the margarita style with dollops of ricotta. The other was a meat , which had a lot of meat. Think veggie style is just preference. The thin crust was a plus and was still tasty heated up in the oven the next day. read more

Customer service is lacking, but the pizza is actually really good. I am not a big pizza person, but really enjoy this place. They have some good beers on tap and when indoor dining opens up like normal again they also have a big TV to watch sporting events. read more

They never bring peppers or cheese when I ask, but at least they give free hairs with their pizzas.

Bad food, bad service. I should have taken the advice of the last few reviewers and now I'm regretting it - we are .3 miles from the restaurant and told 45 minutes for our delivery order (on a Tuesday). 1.5 hours later we get cold, tasteless pizza and Greek salads with no salad. A call to the restaurant to let them know how we felt went no where. Where's the manager? Some good ole fashion customer service goes far, let's work on it. read more

I may be a native Californian, but I lived enough time on the east coast to know that we westerners have really missed out in the brick oven pizza department. So, my groans of despair over yet ANOTHER pizza joint opening in Pacifica were transformed to squeals of delight when I heard it was of the brick oven variety. We ate there for the first time tonight (Sept. 12th). It's so new that they don't have a liquor license yet. But... here's what they do have: 1. A large pizza menu with pies named after famous mobsters 2. Pretty decent pizza, especially for a place that's just starting up 3. Fresh toppings and good quality cheese 4. A surprisingly large pasta/entree menu 5. A dessert menu with tiramisu, NY cheesecake or cannoli 6. A bright and CLEAN atmosphere (no small feat for this dingy old strip mall) 7. A cute fireplace 8. An excellent flat-screen TV over said fireplace to watch Giants games (too bad they lost) 9. Friendly, attentive yet laid-back waitstaff 10. Pizza by the slice available What they need: 1. A fresher-tasting & generally more interesting sauce 2. About 5 minutes longer in the oven for the pizza - most brick oven afficionados expect some burned chunks around the edges and a crust that borders on overdone/crunchy 3. A website with online menu (they now have take-out menus available) and hours 4. Art on the walls (sooo many starving Pacifica artists would be happy to hang their already-framed artwork on your walls, one ad and you'd be inundated) 5. A few more tables or something to fill the space I hear people saying it's pricey. Yeah. It ain't Straw Hat. But even the small pizza is huge, so you have to factor that in. Their small is more like any other place's medium, and you're paying extra for the quality cheese, fresh ingredients and running that brick oven for the unique brick oven flavor. They're not billing themselves as cheap-o pizza, and it isn't cheap-o pizza, so you pay and get what you expect. Five of us ate for $45 and change (not calculating tip) so it ain't Acquerello, either. Honestly if there was a 4.5 star option that's what I would have voted since I did have a few suggestions. But I'm rounding up because they've got an excellent start and most restaurants have a few kinks to work out when starting up. And I ain't no shill. Y'all gotta pony up some dough for that service. Ha ha! read more

The Linda Mar Round Table lost its lease, and I'm heartbroken. A friend of the family told us she and her husband really like Goodfellas and we should give it a try. I wish we hadn't. I was a little chagrined right off the bat when I was told they don't make deep dish pizzas, but whatever, that doesn't mean they can't make a *good* pizza. Sadly, they can't. The pizza these folks gave me just wasn't good. I don't know quite how to articulate exactly why I feel that way, but it just wasn't enjoyable to eat. I'm sorry, and I feel bad saying it, because I want to support any local, independent restaurant as much as possible. Somebody must like their pizza, though, as they are still in business. read more

I don't even want to give any star for the reason of unprofessional behavior of the lady who answered the phone few minutes ago... she was so rude and no manners....she don't let me finish what I want to say..... bad customer service read more

I love Goodfellas, Ive lived in Pacifica my whole life and work as an events manager for kids parties therefore Im constantly eating pizza!!! And trying all kinds around the bay area. Nothing beats the "Goodfella" pizza. Im a vegetarian.. its made of pesto, mariana, and ricotta on a thin crust and its perfect. I also love their caprese salad! Which I try at many other places and can say they do a good job with the ingredients. Goodfellas is a great , locally owned restaurant and the people who work there are always kind and work hard read more

A really great neighborhood pizza restaurant. I've been here a couple times and it's probably one of my favorite places to eat in Pacifica. I've only had their pasta, but I really like it. The ravioli is great and so is the linguine and clams. For the price, it's also really reasonable. I've stopped by here on a couple Saturday afternoons and the place is never busy around that time. While I haven't had their pizzas, from what I've seen, they look great too. read more
