Overheard at Di Fara
From GoodEater.org: Man 1: "You're in for a treat—this is a real Brooklyn experience." Man 2: "I know! I'm looking forward to it! Are you from Brooklyn?" Man 1: "Nah—I'm from Atlanta."...'Sup, Homeslice: We Talk to Andy Sachs, the Artist Who Painted Dom DeMarco
Two weeks ago, we showed you the new portrait of Dom DeMarco that now hangs in Di Fara. Today, we talk to Andy Sachs, the artist who painted it. —The Mgmt. There's obviously a lot of attention to detail in that painting. How long have you been a regular at Di Fara, and how long did you have to study Dom's ways to capture his likeness so well? I've been a loyal fan ever since I moved back to Brooklyn (from Plainview, Long Island) in 2001. I had a blind date who recognized that I lived only a few blocks...Thoughts from Another Di Fara First-Timer
"I have been waiting a lifetime to eat a square slice this good." You can imagine how left out I felt when I read that almost all of the Slice–Serious Eats office had gone to Di Fara last Wednesday. Especially because many, like myself, had never gone prior to last week. For a day or so there I remained one of the few contributors to the Serious Eats family of blogs who had not visited the fabled pizzeria in the middle of Brooklyn. Our own Joe DiStefano called me out on the fact in the comments section of the post...Thoughts from Di Fara First-Timers
"I just wished that the slice hadn't been quite so oily; I felt as if I had to slurp through a puddle before getting to the true, vibrant flavors." As promised earlier today, here are the quick-and-dirty notes from the Di Fara first-timers I led on our Midwood expedition earlier today. We ordered a plain round pie, a plain square pie, and a special artichoke pie (round). Total damage: $85 big ones!...Photo of the Day: Life Imitates Art Imitates Life
Click me bigger » Not much to say here. Just got back from a Slice–Serious Eats field trip to Di Fara. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but until earlier this afternoon four of the seven people in this office were Di Fara virgins. Unacceptable. Anyway, they're not anymore—and I'll be gathering their thoughts and posting them here by end of day. Until then, amuse yourselves with this photo. I haven't been to Di Fara since mid March, and since then it seems this nice piece of artwork has taken up pride of place on the side of Dom's oven....All You Need to Know About Di Fara, 2009
Now that the $5 Di Fara slice has hit the New York Times, I've got friends and strangers emailing and twitting me with questions I feel I've answered a million times here on Slice—albeit over the span of many different blog posts. So, as a public service, here is all the info you need to know about Di Fara gathered in one place—a Di Fara FAQ, if you will. What's So Great About It? This "crowd" is fairly light, as far as Di Fara goes. Do I really have to rehash all this? A pie from Di Fara can...Dom DeMarco and the 'Heavy Hand'
You heard it here first, kids, but the New York Times finally filed a story on the Di Fara $5 slice price, so I guess it's officially news now. Best quote of the story: “It’s like they dug up my grandma and she made the pie." But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is the revelation from Dom's daughter Maggie that something has changed in the way he makes the pies.......Dear Slice: '1- to 2-Hour Wait, $5 Slice'
Nothing could ever pursuade me to go back to that farce of a pizza joint. THey could raise the price to $10 a slice or drop it to $1 a slice, they've got the worst service on the East Coast.—Larry "mrgrooism" Steller, Master Mendicant...'New York Post' on Di Fara's $5 Slices
The New York Post checks in with the news that Slice readers have known for weeks—that Di Fara has raised its regular slices to $5. The paper talks to those opposed and those still willing to pay. Point "They must be out of their minds. It would have to be the best slice of pizza in the world," said Phyllis Turim of Brooklyn, who doesn't plan to find out for herself. Counterpoint "When I shop, I always buy what's high-priced," [Dom DeMarco] said. "What I use, other pizzerias don't use."
