This place is all about nostalgia. It's a nice little adventure to head out to the middle of Brooklyn. The pizza is good & it's a treat to watch Dom prepare it. Cash only.

This is a bucket list pizza experience from a legendary NYC pizza shop and owner. Had a 4 hour wait and I'd do it all over again for the best pie I've ever eaten.

THE most famous pizzeria in all of BK (possibly NYC). Each pie is made fresh when you order it, w/ ingredients straight off the boat from Italy. About a 45 min. wait for a pie, but worth every second!

Who doesn't love #Brooklyn pizza? Seriously. The wait can be long, but it's a fantastic pie.
Jaemi HFebruary 23, 2015
The square pie is even better than Prince Street pizza. There, I said it.

Di Fara is a quaint little slice of old-timey Brooklyn, with lines around the block. Their slice has a unique flavor that's hard to describe, and sets it apart even if it's not your favorite. Try it.

Don't go hungry, expect to wait 1-2 hours for a pie. Get the square pie. Best sauce!
allisonApril 30, 2016
Out of the way, but Dom DeMarco knows how to make the perfect pizza pie!🙌🍕🙌
Lukasz GMarch 12, 2019
Amazing pizza! Prefer regular to the square but both definitely worth trying!!
Dee PhunkSeptember 7, 2015
If you made the trek out here, congrats. You're at one of the top five places to get pizza in New York City. Now just be very patient. It'll be worth the wait.

This legendary Brooklyn pizzeria garners two hour waits for $5 slices. And yes, it's worth it. Just read up on the rules.
Daniel BarnettOctober 19, 2014
Possibly the best pizza in NY. Well worth the wait. Get a plain pie and then something crazy. Pick up beers across the street.
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
The "classic" is topped with sausage, peppers, mushrooms, and onions ($33), but the "regular" ($29) lets you appreciate the pure goodness. Read more

Making the pilgrimage to Midwood for a pie at Di Fara is like visiting a living museum, where the masterpiece on display is septuagenarian pizzaiolo Dom DeMarco. Read more

The best pizza in the WORLD. You will laugh... you will cry... you will be back for more.
James KiernanMarch 11, 2017
Recommendation: Get there before it opens as it gets packed quick. We preferred the round pie. Sauce is amazing! 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕
Nirmal DeshpandeMarch 24, 2013
Get there at noon. Ask for a round pie. Eat it with chili oil. Holla. The greatest pizza of all time.

I think I died and went to pizza heaven. It's as good as they say. Go before it's too late and Mr. DeMarco doesn't make them any more.
JoshJanuary 31, 2014
Excellent. I actually preferred the plain cheese over the toppings I got (tried pepperoni and mushroom). Takes a while for them to make.
FunesMarch 15, 2016
When people talk about NY pizza, this is what talk about. Expensive but worth every penny, you can take your own wine.
Joan ParkJune 21, 2015
the di fara classic was olive oil drenched cheesy goodness but the square pizza's crunchy crust blew us away. worth the 1.5 hr wait and $33+ per pizza pie.
Jaclyn RFebruary 3, 2019
SO good! Order a regular pie. Can call ahead a few days in advance to order several pies
Nick JordanAugust 9, 2014
Well worth the trip. Best hold-the-fancy slice in the city. Maybe the world.
Rami IsmailMay 2, 2016
Authentic high quality pizza. Hard to get your order in and often extremely busy. It's either a delightful pizza or too frustrating a wait.
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014
pizza mecca! it's a terrible wait and very pricey, but the pizzas are too notch. go with a bunch of people, show up at 11:30am (before they open) and get both a round and a square pie.
Flo FloFebruary 8, 2013
$5 a slice plus a $1 extra per topping. 2 slices will run as much as a pie. Do I think this place is worth the price, travel and wait. No. Is it good, yes but def NOT the BEST.
ドーラMarch 7, 2011
The chef makes pizza dough with imported Italian flour, and uses three cheeses (buffalo mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Grana Padana), and freshly-made sauce created from plum tomatoes and herbs.

May 2021: I have had transcendent pizza here before, but quality has slipped a good deal. The old man is not around, which may be a contributing factor.
markus gerdemannJune 25, 2016
Delicious famous pizza. At this spot it's all about the sauce, since the crust gets quite soggy.
Katherine M.April 28, 2014
My friend Adam says, "If you’re feeling adventurous and really want the best ever, take the trip to Brooklyn" to come here.
RossDecember 23, 2016
Good, not mind-blowing. Not worth waiting two hours. Be careful of the time estimate when you ask how long it'll take; it'll be off by 4-6x. Go for the square before the round, and don't order a pie.
Patrick ScobleJune 17, 2020
One of the truly great New York pizza spots. Must try.
Seth ThompsonApril 21, 2013
Had the Sausage, Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Onions, Garlic, and Black Olives regular pie... A must do if you are in Brooklyn!!!
EpicuriousAugust 24, 2010
Think pizza only tastes great from wood or coal burning ovens? Think again. Fresh, quality ingredients imported from Italy set these pies apart - try the real, thick-cut pepperoni or fresh artichokes.
BohnJune 12, 2012
Great pizza, some of the best I've ever eaten. However, still not sure it's worth the wait sometimes. ~1 hour + to get a square slice is a little insane.
Jeremy FisherOctober 14, 2014

Best pizza in NY. Make sure to get round and square varieties. Calzone is a sleeper hit
amNewYorkOctober 5, 2011
The $5 regular or square slices are freshly made by owner Dom DeMarco. The wait can be long, but regulars will tell you it’s more than worth it. Cash only.
Gregory FisherSeptember 7, 2018
This is the ONLY Di Fara worth going to (worth the line). Best pies in the world.
Bradley PatrieDecember 8, 2013
Best slice I've ever had! Skip the toppings and go straight for a cheese pie. Worth the trip!
Joe CSeptember 27, 2014
Delicious! Got a regular pie with pepperoni, mushrooms and garlic. Authentic no nonsense Italian.

Check the Facebook page for accurate hours of operation; they won't serve you if you arrive at 8:30 p.m. even though Yelp, Google, and Foursquare show they're open until 9 p.m.
Jen ChungSeptember 18, 2013
"Legendary owner Don DeMarco stands at the counter generously topping your pizza with olive oil and fresh cut basil."
Renee F. The Brooklyn BiteMarch 21, 2013
One of the best in the land. Go off hrs to avoid crazy wait times. Peppers on counter are delicious but spicyyyyyy
Fiona M.January 8, 2011
the long wait in the cold and starving tummies contributed to Di Fara's being the best pizza in NY once it's in our mouths and down our tummies. Pricey but well worth the splurge once in a while!
rich masioApril 3, 2015
Quaint. cute seeing the old man work solo. Painstakingly slow. His son helps by cutting the basil. Otherwise there's no one else working meaning 1-2 hour wait for a pie, which can be soggy or burnt
Howard LJuly 22, 2018
Good pizza but be prepared to wait for 2 hours. Very disorganized system and you never know when you’ll actually get your food!
Erin McCueSeptember 4, 2016
Ask to use the bathroom; you get to go behind the counter.
Raul ReyesFebruary 22, 2019
It's a very good pizza, it really differentiates from other places, now, is it a slice worth $5, not sure.
Connie ChiuAugust 31, 2014
Classic and garlic topping! We waited for two hours. The pizza was reallyyyyy good but the two hours...not so much
