If you’re deciding between breadsticks, cheesesticks, or one of our monkey bread options, our complete bread sides guide compares all of them side by side so you know exactly what to add to your order.
Godfather’s breadsticks are seasoned with garlic, oregano, parmesan, and romano — and served with marinara. $6.99. Here’s what you get, how they compare to cheesesticks, and whether they’re worth adding to your order.
The breadsticks are one of those sides that doesn’t get talked about much because the wings and cheesesticks are right there on the menu. But they earn their spot. They’re lighter, they’re cheaper, and for the right order they’re the better call. Here’s the breakdown. For the full sides picture, the sides ranked guide covers everything from wings to monkey bread.
What You Get
Individual Breadsticks at $6.99. Seasoned with garlic, oregano, parmesan, and romano — the kind of seasoning that smells like a proper Italian kitchen when they come out of the oven. Served with marinara for dipping. No cheese pull, no extra toppings — just well-seasoned bread and a good dipping sauce.
The seasoning blend is what makes them worth talking about. Parmesan and romano together create a sharper, more complex flavor than garlic and salt alone. They’re not an afterthought — they’re made with the same care as the rest of the menu.

Breadsticks vs. Cheesesticks — Which One?
Both are worth having, but they’re different experiences. Cheesesticks ($7.79–$12.24) have mozzarella melted on top and are built for sharing in a big, cheesy way. They’re heavier, more filling, and the go-to when your group wants a proper starter that eats like food.
Breadsticks are lighter. No cheese, less richness, more herb-forward flavor. They’re the better call when you want something to eat while the pizza is on the way without filling up before it arrives. Also the call for anyone at the table avoiding dairy — the breadsticks are cheese-free and hold their own on flavor.
The price difference is minimal: $6.99 breadsticks vs. $7.79 for a small cheesesticks. If you’re ordering for two people and want one side, cheesesticks are the fuller experience. If you want something lighter or need a dairy-free option, breadsticks win.
Worth Adding to Your Order?
Yes, especially if you want a first course for the table that doesn’t compete with the pizza’s flavor. Breadsticks with marinara is a clean, classic combination that clears the palate rather than adding to it. They’re also the most budget-friendly hot side on the menu at $6.99.
They pair well with any pizza — but they work best alongside lighter pies like the Hawaiian or Veggie where the whole order is on the lighter side. For heartier orders (All-Meat, Classic Combo), the cheesesticks are the better match. Check our desserts guide if you’re also planning the end of the meal. And for bigger group orders, our catering packages include side options — call us to build out the right spread.

Best Pizza Pairings for Breadsticks
The breadstick is versatile — it doesn’t fight with anything on the menu. That said, some pairings work better than others.
Breadsticks + Hawaiian Pizza: The lighter, sweeter profile of the Hawaiian (ham, bacon, pineapple, mozzarella) is a natural fit for a herb-seasoned side. The breadstick adds a savory note that balances the sweetness of the pineapple. This is the combination that feels like a complete, lighter meal — good for a weeknight order when you don’t want to go overboard.
Breadsticks + Veggie Pizza: The herb seasoning on the breadsticks echoes the vegetable flavors in the Veggie pie. Add a garden salad ($8.99) and you’ve got a full vegetarian spread that doesn’t feel like you’re compromising on flavor or quantity.
Breadsticks + Chicken Bacon Ranch: Ranch sauce on the pizza, marinara on the breadsticks — different dipping sauces for different parts of the meal. The lightness of the breadstick lets the ranch-sauced pizza stay the centerpiece.
Where breadsticks aren’t the first call: if you’re ordering a heavy meat pizza like the All-Meat Combo or Bacon Cheeseburger, the cheesesticks are the more satisfying side because they match the richness of the pie. Breadsticks are at their best when the whole order trends lighter.
