Godfather’s Pizza

When I discovered there was still a full service Godfather’s Pizza in the area I had to come here — the one in my home town had closed years ago. I have to admit when I first walked in I had my doubts, but I was pleasantly surprised by this place.
Great buffet — They will take requests of your fav pizza and put it on the buffet for you. They also will leave the pizza out after the buffet is over as to not waste it which is nice. Staff are friendly and although part of a chain it feels like a family restaurant.
My only complaint is the bathroom — one stall in the men’s and it’s really small. Some might complain about the décor (it doesn’t look like it’s changed since the 90s) but I think it’s cool — just like the one I used to have growing up, with great food and friendly staff as well!
I will certainly be coming back.

Halfway between home and work, so it’s convenient for me to stop in for the lunch buffet. Decent pizza, and they’ll make anything you want for the buffet. Nice selection at the salad bar. Staff is friendly — feels like a family-​owned restaurant even though it’s part of a (shrinking) chain. Lpve the 70s era décor! Only major issue is the busser was too efficient — couldn’t the guy at least wait until I was done before grabbing my plates? I had to go twice to replace half-​full sodas he grabbed, and he wiped half my table while I was sitting there, which I felt was uncouth.

Wednesday afternoon my buddy and I crawl out of the gym after doing a demo job on during leg day, I get the text «we’re short 4, 10pm, light jersey.» Oh damn. Hockey game after leg day? It was time to start calorie reloading, and with ‘Potle already consumed that day, pizza buffet sprung to mind.
Enter… Godfathers. I’ve been here a few times in the past but was pleasantly surprised this go around.
We stroll up to the counter, pay for the buffet and instantly ask for a few specialty pies. For those that don’t go here often, they will make you ANY pie you want, and let you know when it’s done.
First one: Pesto Chicken & Spinach (Chicken, Spinach, Mushrooms, Pesto, Seasoned Cheese & Mozzarella Cheese). Brief wait while we indulge in salad and pick at the cheese bread which is reason enough to go here. We get told it’s ready and we swarm like piranhas. Pizza is gone in a matter of seconds (beat that consumption time bastard fishes!). The pie was pretty damn good. Very light too, which is what we’re going for. Chicken was that of freezer quality and nuked, while the veggies were can fresh! Except the spinach. That may have come from a plastic bag. I’ll ask next time… or I won’t because, well, some things are best left to mystery. Pesto was solid for a jar pesto. Decent olive oil and basil taste. Mozz was applied really thick which was fantastic for someone that says cheese is good on anything.
Next pie, Pesto Chicken Artichoke (Chicken, Artichoke Hearts, Pesto, Seasoned Cheese & Mozzarella Cheese). Not bad at all. The arty hearts were a little tough but, that was the only real complaint we had about this one. Otherwise, solid amount of cheese.
Last one, Sicilian Veggie (Spinach, Artichoke Hearts, Tomatoes, Black Olives, Garlic & Olive Oil, Seasoned Cheese & Mozzarella Cheese). I know what you’re thinking, «you got a veggie pizza!?» Hell no. I politely asked them to add chicken and they happily obliged — probably out of fear we’d turn cannibal and eat them along with all the pizza we had already consumed. This was a really good pizza, and had a lot of flavor. Some solid salty flavor from the cheeses and the veggies added enough texture/​spice/​flavor to really pull it all together. Chicken was just for extra protein and so my conscience didn’t kick me in the teeth all day for ordering a veggie pizza.
Top it all that off… a slice of their gigantic chocolate chip cookie. Some cinnamon monkey bread and a slice or two of the apple dessert pizza.
Overall review of the crusts, it’s easy for a crust to take away from a pizza and make it a bust… or as bad as pizza can get, because even bad pizza is still pizza after all. Their crusts will never win any awards, but, it doesn’t take anything away or make you hate it — solid for a buffet pizza, in my opinion.
Will I go back? Of course. I find it fun to eat about 6000 calories in one sitting. As do my friends. Plus we’re all dumb enough to take another game after ripping our legs apart so I’m sure we’ll do this again (just hopefully not soon).
One final tip, watch your step going into the dining area by the game room. There is a nasty little step that this ogre tripped on a couple of times.

Great PIZZA!!! Try it you will like it!

I only order delivery from here on occasion when I can’t step out of the house. It’s the closest place that has delivery to where I live. Otherwise, I’d probably never ever give this shitty place my money.
Consistently, the order takers from this place always gets something wrong on my order. The staff there obviously are not detailed oriented people at all.
The delivery guy is always super apologetic about it, and I can’t blame him really since he didn’t take the order.
If you ever order delivery from this place, make sure to make the order taker repeat everything to you no matter how much it annoys him/​her to do so.
It’s their job to take your order correctly and for most average people, it’s not a very difficult task, but I assume the staff at this place must have been born yesterday.

This place has pretty good pizza. Their dessert pizza is absolutely amazing! It might not be the best pizza you’ll ever have but it’s still worth a stop. I’d suggest going when there’s a buffet. Drinks salad bar and pizza are all included.

I’ve been going to Godfather’s since I was a pre-​teen. My dad stopped bringing me along when it became clear I wouldn’t eat more than three pieces of pizza from the buffet. As an adult, I rarely go to buffets because I’m just not that kind of eater.
But I’d heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend that Godfather’s does gluten-​free pizzas now. That unmistakable sauce was calling my name, and now I can answer. The crust is thin, not heavy or grainy. I can place a carry-​out order and, due to the unfortunate low volume of customers, there’s hardly any delay in getting the pizza. They even offer a GF pizza punch card. The fifth or sixth one is free!
The front of Godfather’s faces the monstrous beige wall of Brunswick Zone. I wouldn’t say the Village North mall’s parking lot was any more attractive, but it certainly wasn’t as menacing. I’ve yet to see another customer while picking up a pizza. My hope is that I’m just missing the lunch rush, and that all the revitalization efforts of the good ol’ BP aren’t destroying all the lower-​middle class institutions I came to love.
