Goodfellas Pizzeria Phuket is located in the Courtyard by Marriott area in Patong — an easy choice when you’re craving Italian food without any fuss. The dining room isn’t large, but there’s plenty of seating, and the overall feel is fairly understated, with no big emphasis on interior design.
The main draw here is wood-fired Neapolitan pizza: light, pillowy dough with signature charred spots, fresh toppings, and a well-judged balance between a crisp rim and a juicy center. The menu features standout options such as Capricciosa, Bolognese, Prosciutto, Giardiniera, a truffle version, and a Di Mare topped generously with fresh seafood. Their house chili oil is a great match with any pizza.
Beyond pizza, they also serve pasta and small plates, including bruschetta, eggplant parmigiana, burrata with sourdough bread, and meatballs in tomato sauce. For dessert, there are cannoli. On the drinks list, the cherry-and-chocolate soda is particularly worth trying.
The staff are generally friendly and attentive, though service can slow down when the place is full. They’re happy to adjust pizzas on request — for example, removing cheese for a vegan option or swapping ingredients. Allergens are clearly listed, and the menu notes an additional ~20% charge for tax and service. From time to time, there are good-value happy hour deals as well.
