Vice Magazine on Di Fara Pizza (and Others)

Posted by Adam Kuban, October 14, 2008 at 1:30 PM

Vice magazine released a New York City guide last week, and on it, they cover pizza. (You have to cover pizza if you're releasing any type of NYC food guide.) Here's what they say:

Local food bloggers bicker over whether this Midwood pizza parlor is clean or dirty (truth: it’s pretty dirty) or whether it is running on fumes nowadays or whether watching an old guy futz with their pizza is kind of patronizing. We, however, aren’t food bloggers and couldn’t give a shit. If you’re in this town to eat pizza, Di Fara should be on your list. 1424 Avenue J, Brooklyn NY (at East 15th Street; map); 718-258-1367; difara.com

Other pizzerias on the list: Artichoke Basille's, Arturo's, Famous Ben's, Grimaldi's, Koronet, Lee's Tavern, Lombardi's, Otto, Totonno's, and Two Boots.

OK time to speak up here. You mention Vice from last week, but why no mention of Pizza Today's article this month? I even saw them quoting Adam. Did I miss that post?

Hmm, I just realized it's pretty geeky to subscribe to a pizza trade magazine, oh well, everyone needs a passion, right?

@ratbuddy: You didn't miss it, because I never posted about it. Are you talking about this article: How to Score Free Press? I was interviewed for it and then forgot to check for it, because of the lag between interview and publication. (I have a short attention span these days.)

Yep, that's the article. I felt like such an insider, knowing who one of the sources they quoted was :)

Very sorry to double post but I realized you may not have seen the paper magazine - the cover story is NYC pizza spots.

I'll have to dig around in my recycle bin. I'm sure I got the issue (I, too, subscribe), but sometimes I don't read much of it because carries a lot of articles titled "Increasing Your POS with Chicken Side Items" and the like.
