Di Fara Pizza
New York, USA
The read// why locals go
Di Fara has been making pizza one pie at a time on Avenue J in Midwood, Brooklyn since 1965, and the wait has always been unavoidable. Dom DeMarco built the reputation by refusing to speed anything up: every pizza assembled by his own hand, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella cut to order, fresh basil scattered over the top as it leaves the oven. That method explains both the prices — around $15, well beyond what a Brooklyn slice usually costs — and the line down the block. This is a deep-Brooklyn pilgrimage rather than a casual stop, a plain room a long subway ride from Manhattan where everyone standing around is waiting for exactly the same thing.
