GoodFellas Pizzeria of L.I.C. is a small pizza spot at 25-19 40th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101. Set on a quieter LIC block near major Queens transit, it feels like the kind of neighborhood pizzeria that people use for a slice, a quick pie, takeout, or an easy meal after work.
From my visit and a check of current restaurant pages, the place has a compact, no-frills setup. Some listings describe it as pint-sized and simple, and that fits the mood well. The focus is pizza first: hot slices, full pies, fast service, and a steady local crowd. It is not a full-service Italian restaurant with a long dining room. It is more of a grab-and-go pizzeria with a direct, New York feel.
The cheese slice is the easiest order to judge here. A good New York slice needs a crisp base, melted cheese, a balanced sauce, and enough fold to eat on the move. GoodFellas Pizzeria of L.I.C. hits that familiar lane. Guest notes point to clean service, good value, and classic slices that work well for lunch or a casual dinner.
Margherita pizza is another item worth trying. It gives the menu a fresher style with cheese, tomato, and basil flavors that feel lighter than a heavier meat pie. For people who want something bold, buffalo chicken pizza brings heat, sauce, and a richer topping mix. Pepperoni is also a natural pick for a first full pie, since it adds crisp edges and salty bite without moving too far from the classic slice-shop style.
The restaurant is useful for many eating moods. A solo diner can grab one or two slices. A group can order a whole pie. Nearby workers can use it for takeout, and local residents can keep it in mind for a simple pizza night. Public listings also mention takeout and delivery availability, which makes the spot more practical for LIC apartments, offices, and hotel guests nearby.
The vibe is casual, quick, and very local. The service style feels friendly and direct, with the kind of pace people expect from a Queens pizzeria. Prices are also part of the appeal, especially for guests looking for a filling meal without turning dinner into a big plan.
GoodFellas Pizzeria of L.I.C. is a strong pick for cheese slices, Margherita pizza, pepperoni pie, buffalo chicken pizza, and easy takeout in Long Island City. For a first order, I would go with a plain cheese slice, a Margherita slice, and one specialty slice to see the range.

Passed by while waiting around the area and decided to stop by. Wasn’t aware that it was a pickup window only. Picked up a goodfellas slice, margherita and then came back for round 2 to get the chicken bacon ranch. The crust had a great chew and a great under carry, one of the best pie crusts I’ve tasted in my time in NY. The margherita slice was by far the best I’ve had, the cheese used is the perfect consistency for a pie, the good fellas slice was packed with both pepperoni and sausage and had a nice hint of sweetness from the onions. The chicken, bacon, ranch was standard. Not a slice I’d come running back for. Will definitely be back when in NY! Recommended dishes

I honestly can't find a single fault with GoodFellas Pizzeria; it's always a solid choice. While we absolutely love their Margarita pizza, you truly can't go wrong with the Sicilian either, and their fantastic crust really stands out. It's also one of the best values in LIC, offering a great deal of two cheese slices and a coke for just $5.99. I should note that it's primarily a pick-up and go spot, essentially an ordering window with only one table outside. On top of all that, the staff are super friendly, and I've consistently had wonderful experiences there.

Very solid option for pizza in LIC! Every slice we got was delicious (though I’m partial to the classic cheese & pepperoni). If you want that thin crust pizza, don’t get the ones with a ton of topping (the dough seems a little thicker to support all the toppings—still VERY tasty though). Keep in mind that this place is take-out only and there isn’t really a place nearby to comfortably sit and eat. If you’re in a grab-and go situation, this is perfect. Service is friendly and decently fast, and I would come back here again for sure. Recommended dishes

For authentic New York pizza in LIC, this place is truly the best. I found it to be both the tastiest and the most affordable option available. I'm already planning to buy another pie very soon, and any wait time is absolutely worth it for such a delicious experience.

Seriously, you have to experience this spot. I'd been eager to visit for ages, but their weekend closure (which I find incredibly thoughtful, as they dedicate that time to family) meant I finally made it in on a weekday. You simply can't go wrong with any of their pies; each option is truly delicious. Expect nothing less than fresh ingredients, vibrant flavors, and satisfying portions. My order included five distinct slices, and I genuinely enjoyed each flavor. I'm certainly looking forward to making this a frequent stop.
