Going to DiFaras for the first time. I have searched the threads for ideas on the best toppings and it looks like everyone likes artichoke and porcini mushroom.I thought I had seen one post about ordering buffalo mozzarella as a...

Tried both of these recently on forays out Coney Island Avenue. Di Fara was great — I wouldn’t have believed a simple bowl of spaghetti with marinara sauce could be such perfection. And the salad was equally great. My...

Went to Casa di Pizza (aka JJ’s) in Buffalo. Here’s what we thought: We had a half-mushroom, half-meatball pizza, BBQ wings, and a pitcher of birch beer. The pizza was attractively served on a stainless cake stand and...

A friend has mentioned enjoying eating at Buca di Beppo and then I saw it on Bay Area Backroads the other night. Any opinions? Thanks!

This wiki link seems to say it is different. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocconcini "bocconcini alla panna di bufala, in a process which involves mixing freshly made Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP with fresh cream ... Bocconcini...

Can someone tell me when Dom got pizza religion and start making the pies he is now famous for? I ask because I grew up in the neighborhood when Di Fara was just a good but nothing special pizza joint (60s to mid-70s). I’m...

blasphemy....never had Pepe’s or Sally’s, but DiFara’s is in my opinion, and that of many others, the best in NYC. I admit, it’s not the cleanest restaurant by any means, but if you don’t find the...

Went to DiFara’s for the first time on Sunday with my husband. I had a roasted artichoke slice and he had an artichoke slice and a pepperoni slice. We kept waiting for nirvana, but we never got there. We left shaking our...

Nic’s roast pork sandwich or Philly cheese steak will never be one of them. Accept that. De gustibus non est disputandum, mate :-D PS: And, bluehensfan — I really actually liked the panino I got at DiBruno’s...

The liquid effect you describe is a result of the use of fresh mozzarella and is ubiquitous at DiFara’s. You should never eat fresh pie at DiFara’s; even if you buy a whole one you should let it sit for twenty...

Coming from a family that owned a pizza place in Queens many years ago (since sold), and having a grandmother who made pizza and foccacia for use every Sunday, pizza surely courses through my veins. I finally decided had to...

Pizzafreak, good call posting this on outer boroughs. You are going to laugh your ass off when you finally see DiFara. There is NOTHING high tech about this place.

I spent my lunch hour at Di Palo Fine Foods on 200 Grand Street. So even though I went during the week, and the line appeared short, I ended up spending an hour there! Granted, a fair amount of that was trying different things,...

Again, I make my remarks from having sampled pizza all over the U.S., and in many other countries, as well as DiFara specifically throughout the last 25 years... And, I must make the following additional points in addition to what...

I don’t eat much pizza. But when friends mentioned a DiFara outing they were planning, I glommed on immediately, invited myself, and also offered up my husband, who generally claims not to like pizza, to drive us out to Avenue J....
