I was in Brooklyn (visiting from Philly) for a work thing and finished early so I decided to bang bang Di Fara and Luigi‘s pizza. They’re very different, but both are pretty incredible. Di Fara does a more of a crushed (very slightly chunky) tomato sauce that’s distributed alongside the cheese rather than totally under. The cheese hits the dough in places where there isn’t much sauce, creating a more adventurous slice eating experience. Each bite is slightly different and I love that. The crust is crispy and chewy, the perfect balance, and together with the tangy sauce, fresh basil, and cupping pepperoni, you can’t go wrong. It’s a little pricey, but hey, NY prices! Worth it.

This incredible hole in the wall in Brooklyn had some of the most incredible pizza I’ve ever had. Crust was crisp, cheese was fresh? And sauce was just right. The guys behind the counter were incredibly friendly and willing to engage in casual conversation.
Service was great. Placed our order and got our slices in a reasonable amount of time. Not thing I could complain about. If you’re in the area, stop in for a slice. You’ll be incredibly thankful!

Omg. This is top 5 pizza in my life. 6 of us did a “pizza tour” in Brooklyn today, and this is the first stop. I think there is no way the next place is going to hold up to this.
Crispy crust, maybe the best sauce we’ve ever had.
Wonderful. Stop what you’re doing and go here today.

The best pizza I’ve ever tried. Hand formed, with a perfect bake to the crust combined with a great ratio of sauce to cheese. Cheese they add fresh basil which really pushes this over the top.

So worth the trip for a ny slice. The sauce was so delicious, I could have eaten a bucket of it, the basil and cheese ratio was perfect, overall the traditional slice of pizza was my favorite pizza ever! The square Sicilian slice was delicious too, just not so easy to eat; much thicker and heavier slice. Very little seating available, but we got lucky, it was a gorgeous day, and we sat outside on a 3 person bench and waited for our pizza, the 1 table outside became available so we got to snag it. There’s a window out front they can hand your order right to you.

What did I just eat? Is this actually authentic New York sliced pizza? This is the place that everyone made famous for? For absolutely no reason I couldn’t even finish my slice and I had to give it to my friend not worth the hype. This was just bad, come and figure it out by yourself. Make sure not to get a pie. Just try out a slice and then you will realize.

Felt really good to finally try this pizza shop with so much legendary history. However, and I am honestly sad to say this…the pizza wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing either hence the 3/5 food rating. I think my expectations were too high being an italian-American born and raised in NYC. Glad I finally tried it but not worth traveling out of your way for. Also I thought $5 for one regular slice was pricey even for today’s economy. They accept credit cards now but even so, that was the cash price.

This post will be something of a journey, because that is literally what it took to get here. First off, Di Fara had been on my bucket list for 10+ years given it’s history and the recommendation of Anthony Bourdain and Dave Portnoy.
When a relative of mine moved to Manhattan in 2021, I finally had an opportunity to visit and Di Fara was right on the top of my list. I arrived in June of 2022 and decided to soak in the entire NYC vibe and walked from midtown Manhattan all the way to Di Fara! A travel distance of 10 miles on foot! The entire experience of getting there was exhausting but great! I was super hungry and excited to boot!
However, on getting to Di Fara, I had realized few things. 1. The original owner (Domenico) had passed away just 3 months before I arrived. 2. They were only taking orders from the window…no seating which was not fun after traveling 10 miles on foot. But, I came all this way, so I ordered 2 regular thin (because I thought I would like that better) and 1 Sicilian. Each slice was over 5 dollars, a steeeep price to pay.
The pizza itself was good not great. I even really liked the Sicilian better! But it didn’t wow me like a few other places did. The pizza was also warm but not enough to really melt the cheese. I was actually very disappointed at the time and it stewed on my quite a bit.
However, on reflection, I still liked the pizza and I understand that Domenico’s children were still making all the pizzas at the time, even just 3 months after his passing, so I think that is great. If I am around the area again, I will give them another shot, but I won’t walk 10 miles for them again haha!

So not your typical pizza shop. Not really a spot you go grab a slice because there isn’t pies in the windows. But that being said the pizza was fantastic. Highly rated by the barstool Guy and he wasnt wrong.

This is the first time trying Di Fara. The picture says everything. C’mon, how do you serve a customer a slice with the cheese already halfway off. As I ate the slice, the rest of the cheese slid entirely off.
I also got the square slice and half the dough was super soggy.
I much preferred the regular slice over the square.
I’m giving three stars because the taste was good and fresh. I would give it one more chance to see if this was just a fluke.
