What to Order Your First Time at Godfather’s Pizza
If it is your first time, order the Classic Combo on Original crust. It is the signature pizza on the signature crust, and it is the truest single taste of what Godfather’s does. If you want something more distinctive, the Taco Pie is the other best seller and unlike almost anything else in town. Add a side of breadsticks or cheesesticks and you have the full experience.
- Start with the Classic Combo. The signature specialty, loaded with meats and vegetables, and the best single introduction to the brand.
- Order it on Original crust. Thick and chewy, the crust the whole brand was built on.
- Try the Taco Pie if you want the standout. A taco on a pizza, and one of the two best sellers for a reason.
- Add a side. Breadsticks or cheesesticks round the meal out and give you something to share.
Walking into a menu you do not know is its own small challenge. Godfather’s has 13 specialty pizzas, four crusts, and a full lineup of sides, which is a lot to sort through when you just want to know what to get. Here is the short path to a great first order.
The Safe Great First Order: Classic Combo on Original
If you order one thing, order the Classic Combo on Original crust. The Classic Combo is the signature specialty, built on Signature Sauce with Pepperoni, Beef, Sausage, Black Olives, Mushrooms, and Onions under Mozzarella Cheese. It is generous without being strange, which is exactly what you want the first time. Put it on Original crust, the thick and chewy base the brand made its name on, and you are tasting Godfather’s the way it is meant to be tasted.
The Adventurous Pick: Taco Pie
The other best seller is the Taco Pie, and it is the one that surprises people. Beef, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes, Taco Sauce, and Cheddar and Mozzarella Cheese, it is genuinely a taco in pizza form, and there is not much like it anywhere else. If you already know you like bold and a little unexpected, start here instead of the Classic Combo. Its bigger sibling, the Super Taco, adds black olives and sour cream and comes with a taco packet per slice.
If You Want to Keep It Simple
Not everyone wants a loaded pizza on the first visit, and that is fine. A straight Pepperoni Pizza or a Cheese Pizza is a clean way to taste the sauce, the cheese, and the crust without a lot of competing flavors. Build from there once you know you like the base. This is also the right call if you are ordering for kids or for anyone who is particular.
Round Out the Order
A first order is more fun with a side. Breadsticks come seasoned with garlic, oregano, and cheese and arrive with marinara for dipping. Cheesesticks are the crowd favorite. If you have a sweet tooth, the Cinnamon Monkey Bread or the Big Chocolate Chip Cookie sends the meal out on a high note. And if you cannot decide between two pizzas, the Half & Half Specialty Pie lets you put two on one pie, which is a great way to sample more on a first visit.
