Legendary Brooklyn pizza joint, famed for its classic pies. Once a top-tier spot, now opinions are split on its post-founder quality.
Di Fara Pizza, a legendary Brooklyn establishment, has been serving up classic-style pizzas for decades. While once considered a pinnacle of New York pizza, recent opinions suggest a decline in quality since the passing of its founder, Dom DeMarco. Despite this, many still recall its past glory and some recent visitors have found it to be a worthwhile experience, particularly the square slices.
Di Fara Pizza is renowned for its classic-style Italian pizzas. While historically celebrated, recent customer feedback indicates a decline in quality and consistency, with some attributing this to changes after the founder's passing. Despite this, the square slices and regular slices are still recommended by some, while others find it to be overrated or inconsistent.
"The regular slice and square slices have been specifically recommended by some patrons. One commenter even noted the pepperoni pizza as a great option."
Customer sentiment is divided. Many fondly remember its past as the best pizza in NYC, while others feel the quality has significantly declined since the founder's passing. Some recent visitors, however, still find it to be excellent.
