Di Fara Reopening ... NOW
The voicemail at Di Fara (718-258-1367) says that the joint is reopening at noon today. Which is RIGHT NOW. Given the spottiness of Di Fara reopenings, we called to confirm but keep getting the recording. Anyone out in Midwood to verify? and finally got someone on the phone who did indeed verify the reopen. Viva la pizza! (Di Fara closed temporarily last month after Dom DeMarco broke his kneecap in a car accident.) [via Ditmas Park Blog]...Di Fara 'Temporarily Closed Due to a Medical Emergency'
From the answering machine at the legendary Brooklyn pizzeria Di Fara: "Due to a medical emergency we are temporarily closed. We are hoping to reopen on or before February 1. Thank you for all your concern, and have a great day." We hope that everyone's OK at Di Fara and that this only is a minor medical emergency. We've tried to contact Di Fara and will bring you any news as we can get it. [via Chowhound; thanks, David J.] UPDATE (4 p.m. 1/21/2009) I just heard from Maggie, Dom DeMarco's daughter. She and Mr. DeMarco were in a...Pizza Quote of the Day: XOXO
"Vanessa had a gift certificate to Grimaldi's? No way would she admit to that. She'd be a Di Fara diehard all the way. Minus 3." —From New York magazine's always hilariously dead-on Gossip Girl recap [And, yes, Grimaldi's does offer gift certificates.]...Vice Magazine on Di Fara Pizza (and Others)
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....Quote of the Weekend
There are some great secrets of New York in autumn. ... Behind Grant's Tomb is a beautiful art project of mosaic benches; in Central Park find Alice in Wonderland (especially at night with someone you love). And Brooklyn has a small pizza place that will not leave your mind called Di Fara's pizza and the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise or sunset. —David Blaine, magician and endurance artist...Di Fara Finally, Sorta, Gets Ordering Act Organized
Eater is reporting sorta big news happening in Midwood, Brooklyn. Di Fara has SORTA, FINALLY gotten its act together and now has a list for taking orders and for sorta calling people's names when their pizza was ready: "There is a list whenever I am working," says Dom's daughter, Margaret. "I think my brothers are starting following suit, but I'm not sure. I know the chaos and I really feel for everyone." We've long advocated for something like this, even offering to take up a collection to buy Dom and family a "Take-a-Ticket" system. There's nothing more frustrating than...Di Fara Attacker Gives Blogs a Bad Name
We were speechless reading Gothamist's post about a blogger who attacked Di Fara for being a filthy tourist trap. Luckily Grub Street put our thoughts into words: "Some anonymous writer is going to lecture Dom DeMarco on what constitutes Brooklyn culture? Maybe if the writer had actually bothered to eat the pizza, he would feel differently." We agree entirely. Although we wouldn't have included a link to the blog....Visiting New York City? 7 Must-Eat Pizzas You Should Try
Editor's note: In mid June, Slice reader Lance Roberts emailed me, asking if I'd help him complete his pizza itinerary. He was visiting New York City from Los Angeles, and he wanted to pack in as much pizza as he could—but only the best. I gave him some recs. He came, he ate, and then he wrote.
