Happy 4th of July! From Goodfella's Pizza Staten Island New York.

Thank you to our forefathers. Independence was a courageous idea at the time considering the overwhelming power and suppressive nature of the British Empire. A recent visit to Boston gave me perspective on it. I realized the incredible entrepreneurial spirit of men like Paul Revere, who had a printing press and was a silversmith, engraver, dentist, goldsmith and courier. He had a lot to loose when he went out to participate in the Boston Tea Party. All these brave men knew it was all or nothing and freedom to pursue their own destiny drove them to victory against impossible odds. My kind of guys. Without them I never would have had the chance to become a pizza man in this great country and pursue my own dreams. God Bless America and thank you to all who in front and behind the lines that continue to fight to keep it free. www.brickovensforsale.com www.goodfellas.com

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. I wish you all happy pizza making and be sure to visit www.goodfelas.com and www.brickovensforsale.com for more information.
