Definitely read The Godfather first, since you are already familiar with the subject matter. It'll introduce you to Puzo's writing style, and will make the rest of his books more enjoyable. My favorite of his novels is Fools Die. By far his best book, IMO.
"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis
