Once lauded, now questioned. Mediocre and expensive pizza with a mixed reputation.
While once a celebrated name in the pizza scene, Di Fara Pizza's reputation appears to have soured, especially concerning its Seaport location. Many patrons have voiced strong dissatisfaction, labeling the experience as mediocre and overpriced. Comments frequently highlight the pizza as being of poor quality, with one particularly scathing review calling a slice the most expensive and worst they'd ever encountered.

Despite the widespread negative feedback, there are a few isolated positive mentions of enjoying the pizza, even noting friendly employees and a good olive oil drizzle.
