Di Fara Pizza
14 expert reviews
“We couldn’t be happier to pay the asking price, no matter how high it rises. A flight to Naples costs a lot more – and there is no guarantee you’d even like the pizza over there any better.”

"Some claim it’s the best pizza in the city. And DiFara’s lives up to its reputation, thanks to the zeal of owner Dominic DeMarco, who, for over 40 years, has made every pizza himself." Full review
"Be prepared to wait. And wait. And wait. Since 1964, Domenico DeMarco has been making one pizza at a time at his shop in the melting pot of Midwood, Brooklyn." Full review

"Taste the "magical" pies "lovingly prepared" by octogenarian "pizza alchemist" Dom DeMarco at this '60s-era Midwood "temple" and "all is good in the world"." Full review
"It might be hard to fathom a piece of pizza worth $5... plus what can be up to an hour’s wait, yet neither deters people making the pilgrimage to the consensus best slice in the city."

"The painstakingly crafted Neapolitan pies—cracker-thin crust with a pleasing char and a subtle Parmesan zing—are widely considered among the city's best." Full review

"Domenico DeMarco has been elevated to sainthood by the city's favorite foodie website (chowhound.com), and devotees dote on his every move as he fiddles with each pie." Full review
"Meticulously crafted by hand since 1965."
