First time I visited NYC I was told to go here, waited in line about 45 mins on a Sunday. Got to meet Mr. Demarco and he made me a pizza with mozzarella and Basil. Very basic and absolutely one of the best food experiences of my life. Delicious food and great conversation.

Do Fara opened their new place in my city (Cary, NC) just over a year ago. It’s without a doubt the best damn pizza I’ve ever had. That includes pizza from places in Rome, Pisa, Florence, and of course stateside like NYC, Chicago, etc.

[@chromebomb]

@@bubba9589 insider is CHEAP

[@SaltMarsh29]

When Di Fara opened in the 1960's, they charged 15¢ for a regular slice, 20¢ for a square. In the neighborhood, their pizza was considered good, but not exceptional, with no long lines, celebrities, or awards from food experts. Many locals preferred Pizza Center, which was a couple of blocks away. Di Fara does not reheat slices, which is one reason why the pizza tastes great, but a fresh slice from a pie made in many other Brooklyn pizzerias, will taste just as good, for half the price of Di Fara's. I'm glad Di Fara is still in business, regardless. .

[@sketroux4580]

I'd have to disagree, I find Di Fara to be unique, but I can see why you think that. it's very similar to Katz how both are excellent but you can get just as or almost as good for cheaper at tons of other places

[@miket7745]

Obviously it's all subjective BUT you're wrong 😂 . The pizza that was made by Dom is the absolute best pizza I've ever tasted and I tasted it all ( particularly in NYC ) . Nothing can match the experience of biting into a difara slice . Sadly the pizza made by his kids is not even close to pizza made by Dom

[@SaltMarsh29]

@@miket7745 When are you referring to? What year did you first try Di Fara? They did not use premium ingredients during the first few decades of being in business - and until they did, the pizza was good, but average,

[@KenSalaga]

"will taste just as good" yeah thats just wrong, if they arent using as good ingredients and the recipe isnt the same its not going to be as good as di fara even if it is hot. just cus its hot doesnt mean it tastes better

I've never had Di Fara, but I've also never had a bad slice of pizza in NYC, even the $1 slice is delicious. I think it's the eater.

[@SaltMarsh29]

It is the water. Bagels, pizza, rye bread, pretzels, cake, and other dough products benefit from NYC water.

[@sherstone]

My sister and nephew won't shut up about this pizza...they say it truly is the best in the world. Mr. DeMarco made their pizza and cut the basil with the scissors over it, which is pretty cool. I missed out because when I was there I chose John's instead of going all the way to Brooklyn. John's was the best I've ever had. Maybe one day I'll make it to Brooklyn and make a beeline for DiFaro.

I feel so ashamed watching this video. At some point during this video the daughter mentioned that she’s open to the idea of franchising even more so long as the quality isn’t compromised... I work at the difara at Caesars palace in Las Vegas and we don’t ever.. ever I MEAN EVER use fresh cut basiil to top out pizzas when they finish and we don’t oil our pizzas a second time. For sure our sauce is not nearly as thick and rich as what appears to be in this video. Ours is really watery and salty and last but not least I don’t even think we use the proper dough mix. The difara pizza in Las Vegas is garbage

[@MichaelB-od3xh]

Was that just me or did the bottom of her pizza look completely burnt? She purposely didn't show us but you could kinda see underneath while she was eating a slice and it looked black. No way I would buy a pizza if they really make it burnt underneath. Just not my cup of tea. Always wanted to try this place along with Lucali but I'll have to look into DiFara's a little more to see if the bottom of the pies are really black and burnt.
