Fast Casual Dining is the Hot Trend

After about a decade of industry talk and development the term fast casual is becoming recognized by the mainstream consumer as a distinct type of dining which is characterized between fast food and fine dining. The main points are usually self service or limited service, trendy decor and a higher quality food selection. Coming on fast in this rising market is the pizza segment featuring upscale brick oven type pizza using fresh produce and homemade ingredients such as the Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza  in New York. With their innovative Revolving Brick Oven they have been setting the industry standard for years in both super high quality and speed of production. One of the innovations the three time world champion pizza makers at Goodfella's employ is the revolving brick oven which is both gas and wood fired with a rotating cooking surface that is always uniformly heated and eliminates 90% of the work associated with maintaining and operating a conventional brick oven.  They removed the original 8 foot deep brick oven they used for 20 years and found they no longer needed the second 5 foot deep oven in the original store on Hylan Boulevard when they replaced the main oven with a revolving oven. The new oven  outperforms 2 huge brick ovens, saves labor and produces perfect pizza every time.

  Word of the incredible pizza and trend setting oven spread quickly around the world partially due to another industry innovation called the  pizza school. So many people from around the world wanted to learn from the award winning pizza makers Scot Cosentino and Andrew Scudera that they started giving classes on how to make pizza with actual hands on in a working restaurant environment. This in effect brought many of the up and coming pizza chains to see the amazing oven, learn pizza making and hear first hand from one of the top pizza men just how revolutionary this new oven design is and how it will effect the future of the pizza industry. If you are in the fast casual food game, want to make pizza or just like great food find a way to visit the legendary food eatery: Goodfella's Brick Oven Pizza located in Staten Island New York.

The joy of pizza!

Where do I begin? Taste, flavor ingredients, dough, prepping, or baking methods? Having been in the pizza business for over 20 years I have a lot to draw on here but it always comes down to my favorite part of the business, the people. I have been extremely fortunate in the pizza world but I realize it is like Thomas Edison said that genius is disguised as hard work, and working hard 7 days a week for years does pay off, if you survive. We started Goodfellas Brick Oven Pizza   www.goodfellas.com back in 1993 after my brother and I quit our jobs and went "all in". Serving our customers, hearing their stories and becoming part of their lives over the years is what made it worthwhile for me. From engagements to weddings and births to the first days of school, baseball, communions, graduations, and birthdays, wow! It's like having a gigantic family and the pleasure of sharing all the fun. Yes, there were times of heartbreak too such as 911 and Hurricane Sandy but I remember a customer saying this in the days after the attacks on our country " I'm disgusted and in a daze but I always stop here on my way home because you guys always make me smile and feel better".  What is that worth? Priceless. Next blog will be about cooking in the NY Brick Oven Co. Wood fired brick oven and how it adds to the fun.  www.brickovensforsale.com
