Get Ready Pizza Boys-Starbuck's is Coming!

Original Goodfella's S.I.N.Y Hyaln Blvd. with NY Yankee Pie

Starbucks has announced it's gunning for you and looking to dominate the pizza market as easily as they have dominated the coffee market.  http://www.travelandleisure.com/food-drink/starbucks-bakeries-princi-pizza? utm_campaign=&utm_content=584de4ff04d301412c7957b7&utm_medium=&utm_source=&xid=TrueAnthem_Twitter It may seem easy to do when you have a billion dollar business with contacts all over the world and the ability to buy supplies low and corner the market on real estate. However it has always been my conviction that a great local mom and pop can always outdo a corporate giant by virtue of not having to follow a cookie cutter outline and corporate dictated policy and recipe. Pizza is a personal experience and open to the incredible interpretation of the many fantastic men and women in the pizza business. There will always be chain pizza places such as Pizza Hut, Poppa John's and Little Cesar's to serve a fast low cost pizza. Then there the more modern chains such as Blaze and Piology serving a fast casual fresh topping pizza from a brick oven, and then you have the top of line, world class gourmet local heroes such as Grimaldi's, Patsy's, Goodfella's ans Tototonno's in New York serving the best, freshest ingredients with traditional Italian gourmet sauces and dough's. There is room for all levels of pizza in the industry and my point is that everyone can have a piece of the pie. The other thing  to observe here is that the American Pizza Industry is huge and of such importance that another giant wants to throw his hat into the ring and see if they can conquer the pizza world.

How to make the best pizza

Simple as it may sound, you have to use the best ingredients. That is why Poppa John' s was so successful and they only used "better" ingredients not the best. The Original Goodfellas Brick Oven Pizza located on Hylan Blvd. in Staten Island NY  only uses the  best ingredients so it no surprise they won the Worlds Best Pizza title three different times. You get what you pay for. Pride in preparation of the fresh mozzarella, roasting the sweet red peppers daily in the revolving deck wood burning brick oven and making the sauce  with grandma's(nanny's) recipe. It takes a lot to be the best but if you actually start off with the freshest ingredients, prepare them daily with care, without taking shortcuts, you are halfway there. Pizza has become as American as baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet but the true Italians will always have an edge because they are familiar with the Italian basics of cheese, sauce and yes even the dough.
