While attending college in NYC, we met two brothers that had just started one of the first wood-fired pizza restaurants in the city – Goodfella’s. Over the years, Goodfella’s has won over 15 national and international awards.The memory of their amazing pizza never left us. So, we decided to bring this world-famous pizza back home. In the Spring of 2014 we installed the first revolving wood-fired brick oven in upstate New York. While state-of-the-art, the oven cooks in the old-world tradition over a wood fire at a temperature of 900 degrees. We both also attended the Pizza School of New York’s Master Class taught by the international award-winning team at Goodfella’s.Our no-compromise approach to artisan pizza uses only the best ingredients – fresh mozzarella, imported San Marzano tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil and gourmet sauces cooked from scratch. Many of our customers say it is the best pizza they ever tasted. We hope you enjoy it!
