Di Fara Pizza

Since its founding in 1965, Di Fara has been producing renowned Neapolitan pies in South Brooklyn. For the majority of that time, owner Dom DeMarco made the pizzas himself right behind the counter, but in more recent years, he's handed the torch to his sons. You'll wonder why fresh basil isn't used on every pizza when you taste the one that is still being made here with a variety of cheeses, olive oil, and fresh basil. Each nearly weightless slice will offer a satisfying crackle as you fold it to consume it. The crust is particularly salty and crunchy. You'll feel ecstatic after your first slice, and after your second, you'll want to curl up in a sleeping bag and watch a romantic comedy.

Due to DeMarco's team's thorough inspection of each pie and refusal to cut corners, the wait time in this establishment frequently exceeds two hours on weekends. But it will all be worthwhile in the end. You came here looking for the best pizza, and that's exactly what you're going to get, even if it takes all afternoon. Regardless of whether you're really hungry, make sure to order more than one slice. You'll definitely wish you had done so an hour later.
