Covington is quickly becoming a pizza town with wide selections across the city. The recent announcement that the food truck Pizza Bomba is opening up a permanent shop Downtown adds one more pizzeria to the already long and delicious list that includes Fatty Patty, Germantown, Giuseppe’s, Goodfellas, Lucy Blue, and Riverfront (not to mention the many other restaurants that, while it may not be their main draw, still serve up a pretty mean slice, such as Zazou, Zola, and Kelly’s at the Radisson to name a few).
Goodfellas was reviewed recently by the popular Cincinnati-based food blog, Wine Me, Dine Me:
One friend invited me out to drinks and suggested Wiseguys for their craft cocktails. “But don’t try the pizza downstairs. It’s really terrible. 3:1 cheese/crust ratio. Just bad.” Another friend, upon me mentioning I was going to Wiseguys said, “The pizza downstairs is so good! Perfect balance of cheese and crust. You have to try it!”
I take that as a challenge.
Goodfellas Pizza, with the Godfather-esque logo and tiny dining room, has an upstairs cocktail bar called Wiseguys. The idea of a bar above a pizza joint is genius: when you need to soak up all of the tasty cocktails, what do you do? Go downstairs. Or, I think, if you’re really nice, they’ll bring it up to you.
