Our last stop on the tour was Goodfella's.
Goodfella's uses a rotating wood oven - there is a wheel that constantly rotates the pizzas towards the fire.

They have won the "World's Best Pizza" title at the International Pizza Expo several times. 
I can see why; the pizza was delicious.

Goodfella's is also home to "Forkgate". 
The new NYC Mayor ate here and ate his pizza with a fork! The horror!
They have the actual fork in the restaurant. All in good fun.

It was the most non-New York style pizza that we sampled, but it was really good. 
It was definitely the most beautiful pizza we ate on the tour.

On their way out after enjoying some brick oven pizza, they told us of how they heard of Goodfella's.  They said that about a month ago they were in Vermont doing a bike tour.  During the tour, they saw a young man with his bike loaded to the hilt with travel gear and decided to stop and talk to him about his travels and where he was headed.  He told the couple that he was traveling from Newfoundland to NYC to pay a visit to his friends at Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza, and from there was going to ride on down to South America.

I asked the couple, "did his name happen to be Derek?".  They said yes!!!!!  I showed them the picture that I took with Derek just 1 hour before and they were in total shock!!! 

What are the chances!!!!

Sharrif Floyd, the defensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings stopped by the Original Goodfella's of Hylan Blvd Saturday for some delicious Wood Fired Brick Oven Pizza and sampled 4 of the World's Best Pizza Winners: The Pizza Alla Vodka, Smokin Goodfella, Crustation Sensation, and the Tequila Pizza!!! 
Thanks for coming by and hanging with the staff.
