Meet Derek Gytenbeek.  He is our friend all the way from Newfoudland Canada.  We meet every year the the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas, NV for a pizza competition.  This year, Derek decided to travel on his awesome bike down from Canada to New York to the world famous Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza and the Pizza School of NY.

Derek worked with Megan Odea from Pi Gourmet Eatery and is pictured on the right next to Andrew Scudera of the Pizza School of NY.

After enjoying the Pizza alla Vodka - a creation invented 23 years ago by Goodfella's, Derek hopped back on his bike and headed to NYC for some touring. 

An hour later, this young couple arrived... also from out of state.

This year's Las Vegas International Pizza Expo 2015 was the biggest it has ever been!  The crew from the original Goodfella's, The Pizza School of NY, and the NY Brick Oven Company were in full swing competing, featuring their Revolving Brick Oven's and highlighting their One on One consulting services.    Check out some of the photos from the show! ~ Andrew Scudera

STATEN ISLAND' AD-VANCE ■ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1993 
Islanders' pizza ranks best in the country 
Vodka recipe by Goodfella's 
Cafe chef Sergio Bassillio pre-pared the vodka sauce; pizza maker Alex O'Neal produced the pizza, and the three owners of Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza Cafe, Dongan Hills, came out the winners. The pizzeria's Pizza'Alla Vodka {Pizza with Vodka Creme Sauce) was awarded-the title of the No. 1 Pizza Recipe in the United States in a . cook-off Sunday at the Hotel/Motel and Restaurant Show in the Jacob K Javits Convention Center, Manhattan. More than 200 spectators, many . of them StatenIslanders, were on hand to watch the competition, according to E.J. layers, who is co-owner with his brothers-in-law Marc and Scot Cosentino. All three accepted the award — $1,000 in cash, a banner to display in the -pizzeria's window and a plaque to hang-on the wall. The first national "Industry's. Best Pizza" contest was sponsored by Pizza & Pasta Magazine. The Island pizza was among five semi-finalists from 5,000 en-tries chosen to compete at the trade show. The contenders in the final round were judged by in-dustry representatives on the basis of taste, originality and cre-ativity. -"When they critiqued the piz-zas,' the judges said they all looked nice and were original, but it's the taste that counts," said Myers.. "One judge told me  pri-
vately that it was no contest -- ours tasted best" He credits the fresh mozzarella., homemade dough and fresh top-pings used with the Goodfella's pie for making it a winner. The contest attracted entries from as far away as Texas and California. The finalists, though, were all from pizzerias in the New. York, Ne'w Jersey and Connecti-cut area. The competition did its part in 
boosting sales this week, accord-' ing to the pizzeria's business manager. "We met a lot of people at the show — a couple from Pennsylvania and the judges —who want to come over and try our pizza," explained Myers. "With the article about the con-test in FOODday and the TV cov-erage, our business is up 20 per-cent since last Wednesday. We're - happy." 

For the past 15 years, Goodfella’s has been hosting Pizza Making Class Trips for children in grades K through 5th grade.  The classes are held Monday through Friday from 10 am to 11 am.  We teach the story of how the 1st pizza was created followed by step by step instruction on how to make their very own pizza.  Each child will leave with their very own Pizza Making Certificate.  It is a great educational and fun trip and will book up quickly.  Please contact Andrew or Scot at 718-987-2422 to book your class trip today.  The cost is $6.00 per child and we do cater to children with certain food allergies.
