The bread sides at Godfather’s are consistently the most underordered items on the menu. Breadsticks, cheesesticks, and monkey bread are three very different things — here’s exactly what you get with each one and when to order which.
Breadsticks — $6.99
Individual breadsticks seasoned with garlic, oregano, parmesan, and romano. Served with a side of marinara for dipping.
A few things set them apart from generic pizza-chain breadsticks. The seasoning blend is more complex — parmesan and romano alongside garlic and herbs means actual flavor before you even hit the marinara. The texture is soft inside with a little crisp on the exterior, which means they hold up to dipping without going limp halfway through.
At $6.99, breadsticks are the entry-level bread side. A good addition to a single-person order or a low-cost shareable for two. If you want a full picture of everything we offer on the side of a pizza, our complete sides ranking covers every option on the menu.
Cheesesticks — $7.79 (Small) / $12.24 (Large)
Where breadsticks are herb-forward, cheesesticks are cheese-forward. These use garlic, Italian seasoning, and mozzarella on top — also served with marinara.
The mozzarella melts into the dough during baking, so you get that stretch and pull that makes cheesesticks satisfying. The garlic is present but not overpowering. The marinara you’re already using with your pizza works just as well here, so nothing extra to manage on the table.
The size difference matters: a small ($7.79) works for 1–2 people, the large ($12.24) is a proper shareable for 3–4. For groups, cheesesticks are typically the stronger pick over breadsticks — the cheese pull adds a visual payoff that gets people reaching in before the pizza even arrives.
Cheesesticks also pair well with bone-in or boneless wings if you’re building a full spread — the marinara dipping sauce ties everything together.
Monkey Bread — Three Ways, $7.79 Each
This is where it gets interesting. We offer three varieties of monkey bread and they’re genuinely different from each other.
Cinnamon Monkey Bread
Warm pull-apart sweet bread coated in cinnamon sugar with an icing drizzle. This is the dessert version — works as a sweet finish after pizza or as a no-utensils shareable for a table that wants something beyond a second slice. Kids love it, and adults rarely turn it down either. At $7.79, it’s one of the easiest things to add to any order.
Caramel Monkey Bread
Same pull-apart format, but with a caramel topping instead of cinnamon sugar. If your preference runs toward caramel over cinnamon — richer, more buttery sweetness — this is your pick. Both the cinnamon and caramel versions are the same price. The choice here is purely taste preference.
Italian Monkey Bread
This one breaks from the dessert format entirely. Italian Monkey Bread uses garlic butter and seasoned cheese, served with marinara. It’s savory — closer to a pull-apart garlic bread than anything sweet. If your table already ordered cheesesticks and wants a second bread side that’s different rather than a repeat, Italian Monkey Bread fills that spot well. Also a solid option at catering events where you want a pull-apart shareable that isn’t sweet.
For a full overview of dessert options beyond monkey bread, our desserts guide covers the Cinnamon Streusel and Big Chocolate Chip Cookie as well.
Garlic Bread — The Simple Option
Worth mentioning for completeness: we also have Garlic Bread ($6.74) and Garlic Bread with Cheese ($7.79). Oven-baked with buttery garlic sauce and spices, both served with marinara. The cheese version adds mozzarella on top.
These don’t get the attention of breadsticks or cheesesticks, but they’re solid if you want something uncomplicated. Good for an order where you just want garlic bread without any extra going on.
How to Build Your Bread Side Order
A few combinations worth knowing:
For a 2-person order: one pizza plus breadsticks or small cheesesticks covers the spread. Add cinnamon monkey bread if you want a sweet finish — $7.79 for a dessert you both can share is a clean deal.
For a group of 4–6: large cheesesticks plus Italian monkey bread covers the savory sides, and cinnamon or caramel monkey bread handles dessert. You get variety without a ton of overlap. If you want something non-bread in the mix, potato wedges at $6.74 are the most complementary non-bread side we have.
For a catering or party order: multiple large cheesesticks scale better than breadsticks for large groups — the portion size is more defined and easier to serve. For a dessert spread, ordering both cinnamon and caramel monkey bread gives guests a choice without much added cost. All of our menu items are available for catering orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the breadsticks and cheesesticks made to order?
Yes — they’re baked fresh with your order, same as the pizzas. You get them hot out of the oven, not pre-made and warmed up under a lamp.
Can I order monkey bread as a standalone dessert without a pizza?
Absolutely. All three monkey bread options can be ordered on their own. They’re popular as a standalone sweet treat or as part of a party spread where you want a no-utensils dessert that feeds several people at once.
Which is better for a group — breadsticks or cheesesticks?
Cheesesticks, especially the large size. The cheese pull makes them more satisfying for sharing and they scale better per dollar. Go breadsticks if you prefer an herb-forward bite or if you’re adding them to a single-person order.
Is the Italian Monkey Bread sweet or savory?
Savory. It uses garlic butter and seasoned cheese with marinara for dipping — no sugar, no icing. If you want sweet, order the cinnamon or caramel monkey bread instead.
Do the sides come with marinara included?
Yes — breadsticks, cheesesticks, garlic bread, and Italian monkey bread all come with marinara. The sweet monkey bread varieties (cinnamon and caramel) come with icing and caramel topping respectively, not marinara.
