Back in my day this end of Buckley Street had one restaurant and one restaurant alone - Goofy’s Pizza. They were dirty, they were oily, but they were open ‘till like 3am and I’ll be damned if telling the cab driver to stop off for a quick Goofy’s on the way home wasn’t an integral part of the Prince of Wales Friday night experience.

Now luckily Goofy’s still stands, but now they have a bit of competition. The ill fated but delicious Dude Food Man moved in across the road for a while, I noticed last night that there’s a place called “Indian Tukka” that, while a little culturally confused, seems to be pretty good and two or three doors up from Goofy’s themselves is tonights target. Godfather’s Pizzeria.

I remember Godfather’s as a pretty prolific pizza chain when I was a kid. There were never any within delivery range to me so I don’t really remember their pizza however I do remember them being “around” a lot in the late 90’s early 00’s before kind’ve disappearing? I may be wrong but until I was recommended Godfather’s for review a couple of weeks ago I had kind’ve forgotten they existed all together.
