If you made the trek out here, congrats. You're at one of the top five places to get pizza in New York City. Now just be very patient. It'll be worth the wait.
Jaemi HFebruary 23, 2015
The square pie is even better than Prince Street pizza. There, I said it.

Out of the way, but Dom DeMarco knows how to make the perfect pizza pie!🙌🍕🙌

Di Fara is a quaint little slice of old-timey Brooklyn, with lines around the block. Their slice has a unique flavor that's hard to describe, and sets it apart even if it's not your favorite. Try it.

Welcome to my favorite pizza place in the world. The wait might be long, but order a whole pie. Watch as Dom DeMarco pulls your pie out of the oven with his bare hands then douses it in olive oil.

Slices are available, but it's best to come with a group and share a whole pizza topped with, say, fresh baby artichokes or real, thick-cut pepperoni. Read more

Who doesn't love #Brooklyn pizza? Seriously. The wait can be long, but it's a fantastic pie.
Teresa ChanAugust 10, 2012
By far my favorite pizzeria!!!!! Although its a long wait -- it's Sooo worth it!! Order the square pizza and slather the spicy chilli peppers ... Ahmazing!

Making the pilgrimage to Midwood for a pie at Di Fara is like visiting a living museum, where the masterpiece on display is septuagenarian pizzaiolo Dom DeMarco. Read more

Pies are topped with a three cheese blend, snips of fresh basil, and a thin layer of olive oil. Read more

Order at Di Fara and walk around the corner to sibling Italian comfort food restaurant MD Kitchen. Because what makes a 2 hour wait for bread, sauce, and cheese better? Shrimp parmigiana heroes.

I think I died and went to pizza heaven. It's as good as they say. Go before it's too late and Mr. DeMarco doesn't make them any more.

Amazing pizza! Prefer regular to the square but both definitely worth trying!!
James KiernanMarch 11, 2017
Recommendation: Get there before it opens as it gets packed quick. We preferred the round pie. Sauce is amazing! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Joshua ReisnerMay 22, 2014
Start with 2 slices per person when u place your order. Order a whole pie at the same time, if you don't you'll regret it, trust me! And never never leave because of the wait.
JoshJanuary 31, 2014
Excellent. I actually preferred the plain cheese over the toppings I got (tried pepperoni and mushroom). Takes a while for them to make.
Dilek BaykaraJanuary 25, 2015
The best pizza in the WORLD. You will laugh... you will cry... you will be back for more.
Nirmal DeshpandeMarch 24, 2013
Get there at noon. Ask for a round pie. Eat it with chili oil. Holla. The greatest pizza of all time.
Natalie AJanuary 16, 2017
Don't go hungry, expect to wait 1-2 hours for a pie. Get the square pie. Best sauce!
Serious EatsMarch 29, 2013
This legendary Brooklyn pizzeria garners two hour waits for $5 slices. And yes, it's worth it. Just read up on the rules.
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014
pizza mecca! it's a terrible wait and very pricey, but the pizzas are too notch. go with a bunch of people, show up at 11:30am (before they open) and get both a round and a square pie.
Saif DiaAugust 7, 2017
It's not cheap, it's a long wait. Arguably the best pizza spot in the city.
Jaclyn RFebruary 3, 2019
SO good! Order a regular pie. Can call ahead a few days in advance to order several pies
FunesMarch 15, 2016
When people talk about NY pizza, this is what talk about. Expensive but worth every penny, you can take your own wine.

Well worth the trip. Best hold-the-fancy slice in the city. Maybe the world.
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
The "classic" is topped with sausage, peppers, mushrooms, and onions ($33), but the "regular" ($29) lets you appreciate the pure goodness. Read more
Patrick ScobleJune 17, 2020
One of the truly great New York pizza spots. Must try.
Gregory FisherSeptember 7, 2018
This is the ONLY Di Fara worth going to (worth the line). Best pies in the world.
BohnJune 12, 2012
Great pizza, some of the best I've ever eaten. However, still not sure it's worth the wait sometimes. ~1 hour + to get a square slice is a little insane.
Nic GJuly 30, 2017
dude pulls the pizza out of the oven by hand. that's prime.
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010
Think pizza only tastes great from wood or coal burning ovens? Think again. Fresh, quality ingredients imported from Italy set these pies apart - try the real, thick-cut pepperoni or fresh artichokes.
Fiona M.January 8, 2011
the long wait in the cold and starving tummies contributed to Di Fara's being the best pizza in NY once it's in our mouths and down our tummies. Pricey but well worth the splurge once in a while!
Gianna NebbiaJanuary 27, 2018
You take people you love here to give them one of the best meals of their lives.

Best pizza in NY. Make sure to get round and square varieties. Calzone is a sleeper hit
Scott TaylorJuly 2, 2010
The best pizza you can possibly eat in New York City. Others will scream about Grimaldi's or some other place, the is no better pizza than Di Fara. Take the Q train to Ave J, you will never regret it Read more
rich masioApril 3, 2015
Quaint. cute seeing the old man work solo. Painstakingly slow. His son helps by cutting the basil. Otherwise there's no one else working meaning 1-2 hour wait for a pie, which can be soggy or burnt

My friend Adam says, "If you’re feeling adventurous and really want the best ever, take the trip to Brooklyn" to come here.
Rami IsmailMay 2, 2016
Authentic high quality pizza. Hard to get your order in and often extremely busy. It's either a delightful pizza or too frustrating a wait.
ドーラMarch 7, 2011
The chef makes pizza dough with imported Italian flour, and uses three cheeses (buffalo mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padana), and freshly-made sauce created from plum tomatoes and herbs.
David NelsonMay 10, 2015
Well worth the wait. Try both square and regular, but regular is better
Kevin SkobacJanuary 5, 2016
The man himself still painstakingly crafts every pie with love.

This is my favorite pizza place in New York City. I wish I could get down there more often, but it's always worth the trip!
amNewYorkOctober 5, 2011
The $5 regular or square slices are freshly made by owner Dom DeMarco. The wait can be long, but regulars will tell you it’s more than worth it. Cash only.
JeffreySeptember 6, 2013
Regular cheese pie - Since 1964 thanks to the slow-but-precise hands of the lone man who makes every pie. Long waits are worth it.
markus gerdemannJune 25, 2016
Delicious famous pizza. At this spot it's all about the sauce, since the crust gets quite soggy.
Sam GilApril 3, 2016
Anything. Amazing. Go see the great man himself make perfect pizza. Then eat perfect pizza. Day done.
Sidney StehleMay 6, 2018
get the margarita pizza 🍕
Sam SelfridgeMay 24, 2015
Pizza takes a while but is worth it. Advise you go grab some beers and bring em back to drink while waiting/eating
Joe CSeptember 27, 2014
Delicious! Got a regular pie with pepperoni, mushrooms and garlic. Authentic no nonsense Italian.
