I have come here for the last 10 years and has seen the restaurant change. I am a college student now and every time I come in town this place is on my list of places to eat. It is my favorite pizza place and just got a renovation recently and looks awesome. The pizza is higher price, but this is because it’s better pizza. It takes longer to get it but again it’s pretty pizza. If your looking for somewhere to eat right now just choose it.

Have had good pizza here before(grew up a Godfathers fan) but last 3 times I’ve tried to order take out, they WON’T answer the phone. Automated system(really??) 3 – 4 buttons to push to talk to a live person, except a live person never answers. Very disappointing, NOT recommended.

I love their delicious pizza with plentiful toppings, and delicious crust. The buffet includes salad, pizza, and pasta. The service is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and recently remodeled. They even have themed music. Buy a buffet and a drink on Thursdays, and save your receipt for a free buffet within the next seven days.

Love Godfathers… too bad more are not around. This restaurant has been recently remodeled. Manager is very nice, cares about his business and customers.

Good pizza, the original is my favorite. Newly renovated dining room is pretty nice. Not the best customer service though. Kids eat free in Tuesday, but only for kids 10 and under compared to 12 and under fire every other restaurant. Staff isn’t too nice about pointing that fact out even though it isn’t posted. Ended up spending $ 17.50 for myself and my 12yo daughter, no drinks.

Rude driver, cold pizza and no change offered. Three of the last pizzas had been dropped and tonight I was told we have to answer the phone within three rings. We are a business and occasionally are on calls. No driver has ever had to wait more than 2 or 3 minutes, but apparently that is enough time to toss a pizza and/or fold it in half to get even. $ 24 for the pizza, $ 6 taken for a tip, no change offered or given. Rude driver with a strong herbal odor(glaucoma?) and that was it. No more Godfathers for my team, there are too many other options. Called the store, asked for a manager and was told I was speaking to one. When I made complaint, turns out she was not a manager, guess the self promotion didn’t stick. Josh was the driver and apparently the manager with glaucoma. Contacted corporate, but expect nothing. It’s sad, but they have gone to pot, literally I think. It’s a shame you can’t order food from anyone reliable at this store, the old manager took the job seriously and did a good job, the new guy… just doesn’t care. Think twice before ordering mediocre EXPENSIVE pizza. EDIT: I received a very terse email from the«new» owners of this particular Godfather’s restaurant. The told me that because I made complaints, I was no longer a «valued customer» and they would rather not do business with someone who is unhappy. Rather than fix the problem, they said no more. That’s fine and good, as I wasn’t planning on returning. However… I have written three letters of congratulations to corporate to let them know the manager was doing an outstanding job. Being fair, I wanted to bring the poor service to their attention, as I did with the outstanding service. Rather than apologizing, saying they would try to work something out, we ended up being told we are not appreciated and they would no longer serve us. It is certainly their right to refuse service, but I find it humorous and interesting that the excuses flew, but apologies did not. I would like to advise people looking for decent pizza to avoid this place. It is not firendly, professional or even decent food. At best, the Godfathers shows lack of imagination, lack of cleaning skills and lack of customer focused service. Droppping pizzas as delivering is pretty shady anyway, and expecting someone not to complain about a dropped pizza is a fantasy. There are many other choices for quality pizza at better prices. You’ll find friendlier service, more positive attitudes and excellent customer service. AVOIDTHISGODFATHERS… and any others owned by Lucas Family Pizza(DBALCP).

I am totally disgusted and sick to my stomach as I type this review. Godfathers has been a favorite in our family since I was a kid. 20 years later and we still love it, or so we thought… We decided to dine in, instead of having our pizza delivered. When we walked in, there was a musty, urine like smell in the lobby. It caught us off guard, but we decided to proceed to the front. We placed our order and found a table. The table tops were sticky and the dining area as a whole seemed dingy. As we were waiting, we had a chance to see the«cooks.» No one was wearing gloves or had their hair covered or pulled back as they were preparing the pizzas. We watched them pick up each topping with their bare hands and spread them over the pizza. Staff members were walking in and out of the kitchen, talking, laughing and playing around as they were cooking. After watching this for a few minutes, we walked to the front and asked to speak with a manager. We explained what we had witnessed and asked for a refund. The manager told us «the guy with the hair» is his driver and shouldn’t be in the kitchen, yet we had just watched him, pick up an onion, peel off one layer with his bare hands and slice a pizza. Sadly, we left disgusted… definitely will not be returning or placing a delivery order.

No way! So I will not being this company ever. I called to order the pizza deal ‘Family Favorite’ for 22.99 that expires 3÷15÷13 from the mailing I got in the mail. I spoke to the manager and he said he thinks they took it out of the system. He then took my order and stated it would be 33.00 and there is nothing he could do about the coupon. They send out and pay for this advertisement and wouldn’t honor it… Is that even legal???

Somehow, I always forget about Godfathers… but I will be remembering them now. We ordered a MASS amount of pizzas. When I arrived, he gave me a discount and a free drink since we ordered them out of dough. Pizza was great!

I’ve been going to Godfathers since the 80s and since both the Olathe and 103rd location in OP closed, this is my closest option. It’s still delicious after all this time. Heres a tip: like pepperoni? Ask for it to be made underneath the cheese. So good!

Ouch. Came for the pizza, salad, soda buffet special. Pizza wasn’t very good(think dough-y with bland sauce), salad bar was browning ice berg lettuce with very few veggie choices. Surprising find was the cinnamon streusel dessert pizza.(1 extra star for that). It was the only thing we tasted that we liked at all. And since I can’t imagine every going out for just a slice of dessert pizza this place will not be one we will visit again. Sad to say the ambience was just as bad. It felt old, tired and wasn’t very clean.
