Godfathers Pizza
Tasty Pizza

Godfathers Pizza is another pizza chain that has found it's place in the heart of pizza lovers around the country.

It may not be as big as Papa John's or Domino's, but Godfather's has survived over 30 years in the competitive pizza business, which says something.

Founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1973 by Willie Theisen, Godfather's has grown to over 600 restaurants.

You won't find Godfather's in every state, but states like Florida, Iowa, Illinois (among others) have many Godfather's locations, while other states (like Colorado) are limited to just a few locations.

You'll also find Godfather's are common on military bases. Many Godfather's locations deliver - check your location to see if delivery available.

What makes Godfathers PIzza different from the rest? Regardless of their menu variety, it all boils down to the taste of the pizza, right? And as we've discussed before, everyone has their own opinion on what makes a pizza good.

But in the meantime, let's take a look at Godfather's menu, nutritional information and other fun stuff.

Godfathers Pizza Menu

Godfathers Pizza Nutrition

Godfather's does post all their nutritional information right on their website, which we like.

Cheese Pizza
Serving Size = 1 slice from a 14" (large) pie, thin crust

Godfathers Pizza cheese pizza is right in line with Pizza Hut and Domino's in terms of calories and fat. Godfather's has the lowest saturated fat in this slice, which is good. Sodium in a slice of Godfather's cheese pizza came out at 270 per slice.

Let's take a look at Godfather's Classic Combo, Pepperoni and Veggie pizzas - all with the Original crust. Serving size = 1 slice (1/10) of a large pizza.

The numbers here fall in line with those of Domino's and Papa John's for similar pizzas. No real surprise, since the ingredients used are probably very similar.

What we found interesting is the Godfather's cheese pizza on thin crust had 10 grams of fat, where the original crust had 9 grams. In Godfather's case, thin crust doesn't mean less fat, so if you like thicker crust like we do, you might as well go for it!
