Experiments in Brooklyn - DiFara Pizza!


Di Fara is a pizza legend. It's the kind of place where the service is unbelievably shitty, and the place so run down you can't even throw out your trash - in short, it's not the cleanest place you've ever eaten. It took us twenty minutes to even figure out how to order, the service was so bad. A standard pie is $28, without toppings - individual slices are $5. It's cash only. They can afford to be rude, though - if you're patient enough to actually wait for the pizza, you're happily surprised. There is a slogan on the wall: "Worth the wait!" It's definitely delicious pizza - recommend going on a weekday afternoon if you don't want to wait.



That being said, the crust was magnificent - thin, fully baked, lightly crispy, but not overdone. The cheese was melted, mostly, except for the handful of grated parmesan that DiFara throws over the pizza right when it comes out of the oven, before he cuts fresh basil with scissors onto the steaming, glorious pie. Yes. The end result is delicious - fresh, made just for you, cheesy and crispy but not heavy...we'll be back. When, I'm not sure, but I know we'll be back.
