Goodfella's is an Irish brand of frozen pizzas. Previously part of the Green Isle brand, owned by the 2 Sisters Food Group, the pizza brand was sold to Nomad Foods in 2018.[1][2] The brand has operations in Naas, County Kildare and Longford, County Longford.[3]
Green Isle Foods Ltd, headquartered in Naas in Ireland, created the brand in 1993.
Green Isle Foods Ltd was founded in Ireland in 1982 and employed around 750 people in Ireland. The division was also known as Green Isle Food Group.[4] In 2005, it expanded its Naas factory, adding 130 jobs. The site made 9-inch and 12-inch pizzas.[5]
Green Isle Foods was subsequently bought by Northern Foods in 1995. Northern Foods had been founded on 15 August 1949 and also owned the Fox's Biscuits, Holland's Pies and Matthew Walker Christmas Puddings brands.
In 2011, 2 Sisters Food Group bought Northern Foods and then in April 2018 Nomad Foods bought the frozen pizza division, including the Goodfella's brand, from 2 Sisters.[1][6] Nomad Foods, which is headquartered in the UK and formed in 2015, owns the Birds Eye, Findus, La Cocinera, Goodfella's and Aunt Bessie's brands.[7]
