    The main area looks like any other college pizza by the slice place, but to the back left of the main restaurant is a hidden bar. GREAT bar with Excellent Bourbon and Whisky selection. You can bring your pizza and super long breadsticks to the bar and have a great time.

    Goodfellas is my usual late night go to for pizza after being on Mass Ave. They close at 3am on Saturday nights. The pizza is sold by the slice or as a whole pizza. Last night they didn't offer whole pizzas because the line was so long, and they were running out of slices. I ordered the pizza with pepperoni, sausage, banana peppers and jalapeno. It was good, but the crust was somewhat soggy this time around...not crispy enough, but still good. The staff member makes the pizzas as you're standing in like which is cool. The music at night is always good! Usually hip hop. But be prepared to stand in line for 5 minutes or so. There's seating inside and outside. There's also a bar area in the back to buy adult beverages.

    The place is pretty good, they have a good selection of specialty pizzas. Also, have decent sides, that go well with the pizza. We've tried almost every pizza there and can't complain. Highly recommend the Buffalo chicken cheese bread! 👌 The desserts are also pretty good too. Always order pickup because the place is PACKED and steadily busy. 4 stars due to waiting to order and having to wait to grab your pickup order. They should definitely have a better system for pickups. You go in for a pickup order and have to wait in line or cut in front of everyone to still stand and wait till they notice you to get your name for the order. The place is always extremely loud due to so many people being there and the music. If they had a two-cash register system it would run so much smoother. All in all still has great food and they are open late. Would definitely recommend this place for pizzas! 🍕

    It was right in the heart of Mass Ave . The atmosphere was fun with cool vibes. The restaurant was very clean. I went at lunchtime. I ordered a $9 Lunch special that includes a very large slice of pizza and a side salad or bread stick with a drink. The service was great. The pizza is New York style thin foldable pizza slices.

    Been a good minute since I've had a good NY style pizza. This lived up to my expectations, and the breadstick was like 2ft long and taste a bit like pizza king with similar cheese dip.

    Smelled really good in there. Their pizza tasted good had a great brick oven crunch but it was a very hard bottom to chew and the service was terrible. We didn't get greeted at all. Several workers looked like they didn't want to acknowledge customers at all. There cheesecake tasted like milk with sugar and it was just mashed in a box

    We dined in Friday night early Saturday. We heard great reviews about this place. They were very busy for the late hour. These people get treated horribly, we ordered 5 slices of cheese which were great by the way! The drunk guy behind us was angry because they told him it would be 3.0 minutes for a pizza! You couldn’t wait 3.0 minutes for a pizza. They handled themselves nicely explaining that we had ordered first and it was first come first serve. He proceeded to tell her she was stupid for not taking care of him!! Really. Give these guys a break! The pizza was great, drinks were great! This is our new favorite place. Staff was very friendly more so than what I would have been being treated that way!

    I came here with my friends for the first time after a concert, and this place was amazing!!! Despite there being a long line for the pizza, the line moved quickly, and the service was fantastic. Every slice of pizza was fresh and delicious, and the giant breadsticks were SO good! We are definitely stopping by again next time we're in the area.

    Pizza was amazingly delicious! Portions were great and prices were reasonable! Staff was nice and informative. Should have gotten more than two slices.

    Visited this place on a Saturday night, it was packed but my friend and I did manage to get a seat at the bar behind the main pizza counter in front. We ordered a pizza and two of the large breadsticks. The pizza did take about 45-60min to come out, probably due to how busy they were. While we waited we tried a few cocktails. I had the Bonnie martini. Would recommend it.

    Nice place sever was not so nice needs a little work on her customer service skills but the slices are huge and they had plenty of options could have used more than two pieces of peporoni on the slice

    It was the 3rd best slice of pizza I've ever had. And they have an awesome speak easy in the back.

    We were in town from Ottawa Canada for the NHRA US Nationals and wanted good pizza so decided to try out Goodfellas... we were not disappointed.... The guys at the front were great, they make a great pie... went on a monday and it was half price pizza. While waiting for the pizza went into the Whiskey Louge, had a few drinks, bartender was great... what a bartender should be... don't have a lot of places like this anymore... If I lived in Indy, it would be my goto place.

    Stopped by for a late lunch. I made it in time for the lunch special - what a deal! Slice, side, and a drink for $9. The pizza was hot, the crust was perfect. Delicious! Great service! The music was just a little loud, I was there alone but it may have been difficult to have a conversation if someone was with me. Otherwise it was a great experience!

    interior: i didn’t get a good look around since i got my pizza to go but it was nice but counter was really dirty with random items. service: the staff is the only good thing about this place. they are friendly and on point! now to the actual pizza..definitely not worth the hype. little ceasers or any other take out pizza place is so much better. the pizza is greasy and just not my cup of tea. the slices are huge though! i think that’s pretty cool, but the taste of the pizza is not pleasant what so ever. maybe i just caught them on a bad day so i might go back!

  • 1/5 Starr G. 1 year ago on Google
    Rude, poor quality of pizza, (no crust at all) .... Mass Ave location didn't want to replace my pizza, instead offered a $10 gift card and my bill was $42. I just wanted my pizza with "their crust"...

    One of Indianapolis pizza gems. Every customer is satisfied. Great atmosphere! A must try.

  • 5/5 Marc Le M. 1 year ago on Google
    Secret bar in the back of this pizza place is a must visit, great drinks selection, beautiful decor, chilled tunes and knowledgeable staff. Shame it is fronted by a average pizza bar!!

  • 5/5 Michael S. 1 year ago on Google
    I bought the biggest pizza of my life here! Wonderful! I have eaten here 3 times lately if you want to make an entrance grab a large pizza and take it to someone if you can fit the box through the door every one inside will be happy and smiling!

  • 3/5 William H. 1 year ago on Google
    A little overhyped in my opinion. I ordered a 12" The Boss Pizza (smallest size available). Thin on the sauce and super soggy in the middle, causing the cheese and toppings to slide right off. Atmosphere is kind of cafeteria style. I think they get the majority of their crowd because there is a bar adjacent to the parlor. They do have black and white photos from movies like Goodfellas and The Godfather. Friendly folks up front. You can order by the slice or get a whole pizza. I should have just gotten a slice thinking back.

  • 3/5 Brandon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty disappointed with the experience today. This place had been on my bucket list and we decided to go with individual slices. The slices were cold from the start. I'm sure that ordering a fresh pizza would be ideal but I now have a sour taste in my mouth with this experience. I would have even like to be a regular but I'm not really feeling like we were treated very well. Update: We returned and had a better experience. I just wish they included more toppings. There are lots of choices here in Indy. Let the competition be intense.

    HUGE pizza!!!! Very delicious!! I was impressed with the time it took to get pizza and breadsticks. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. Also very clean restrooms.

  • 5/5 Rashad K. 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously delicious pizza! Went for the cheese pizza and was not disappointed. Good crisp, fresh cheese, and just the right amount of grease. Would love to live closer to this location just to eat more of this pizza all the time! Staff and bartenders were pleasant and easy to talk to. I even got to try their in house peanut butter whiskey on the house! Easy 5 stars! Shoutout barstool sports and el Prez for reviewing this place and putting it on my radar.

  • 5/5 Patricia J. 1 year ago on Google
    Visiting with a crew of five from out of town. They made the most delicious individual pizzas for us, got them out to our tables in record time despite the fact that they had a huge number of people coming in. The speakeasy was outstanding, everybody in the staff was helpful, personable and this is truly the best pizza I've had in the very long time. The five of us ordered different 12-in pizzas to share with each other and it was really outstanding! Please, please please be extra nice to everyone on the staff, they deserve your kindness and outrageously huge tips. Thanks for making our visit to Indianapolis memorable! You guys rock!

  • 5/5 Kevin s. 2 years ago on Google
    Sometimes it can be hit or miss depending on how busy they are or how long that slice has been sitting out. If you get the chance to order an entire pizza instead of just a slice you probably won’t find a better pizza anywhere else in town. We like New York style pizza and they do it better than anyone else in Indianapolis.

  • 5/5 Brian V. 2 years ago on Google
    We found this place by accident. Turned out to e a great accident. Staff was very pleasant. Ordered the 22 inch Pepperoni pizza garlic bread and 4 drinks. Price was very reasonable. Didn't take long to get our order. Maybe 20 minutes. The garlic bread was amazing. I recommend getting the garlic sauce to dip it in. The New York style pizza was wondering. My kids were surprised by how big the slices were. Can't wait to go back.
