    Di Fara Pizza: Brooklyn's Legendary Slice

    Midwood, BrooklynPizza$3 min readFebruary 20, 2026

    There's pizza, and then there's Di Fara. Dom DeMarco has been hand-making every pie at this Midwood corner shop since 1965, and the result is nothing short of legendary.

    Watch him carefully place fresh basil, drizzle olive oil imported from Italy, and snip fresh mozzarella with scissors over each pie. The square slice is transcendent — crispy, cheesy, and bursting with flavor.

    Yes, the wait can be long. Yes, it's cash only. But when you take that first bite, everything else fades away. This is pizza at its purest and most soulful.
