Di Fara Reopening: 'Could Be Tuesday'
I just got off the phone with Dom DeMarco, proprietor of Di Fara, looking for an update on the reopening. The Dominator confirms that the joint is not open as of today—they're still waiting on an inspector to come out and give them the go-ahead. If that happens today, they'll reopen on Monday. But Dom's take was that the city would be more likely to send someone out Monday, slating the pizzeria for a Tuesday reopening....Di Fara Reopening: 'Friday at the Earliest'

I just got an email from Maggie DeMarco with an update in the Di Fara situation: Maggie contacted the DOH lawyer, and they worked some things out. Di Fara will not have to go to court on the 14th. Dom won't have to go to the food protection course, the main reason for the closure, but they had to sign new stipulations Di Fara will have to keep its doors and window closed as part of those stipulations They need to do tons of paperwork yet for the city, which will then send an inspector -- "hopefully Monday" ...

Di Fara, taken in better days just a couple weeks ago. The New York Times has its take on the most recent Di Fara DOH closing, with a bit more on possible duration of the shuttering: Ms. DeMarco, 30, said her family was scheduled to appear at a city tribunal on June 14 to produce the paperwork and to determine any fines and the next steps. Until then, she said, “we sit around and wait; nothing we can do about it.” And while we're talking about Di Fara, let me mention something that has made me almost as sad...Waiver of Liability for Eating at Di Fara

Holy crap, pizza freaks! Di Fara has been closed for an indeterminate period by the New York City Department of Health. Says Eater, which broke the story: In a stunning and shocking turn of events, we're now able to confirm with 100% certainty that Di Fara has again been shut down by the Department of Health. Furthermore, with the pizzeria having failed five of their last six inspections, Dom DeMarco's pride and joy will remain closed until further notice. Here is the statement just issued to us by the Heath Department. The statement says that the department came in...DOH Breathing Down Di Fara's Neck Again
From the always-on-it Eater, which received a message from a tipster: Was just waiting for my pie at ave. J's di fara and watched a doh official tape a yellow "closed" sign on the window. One reason was that the window was open. De Marco himself was so distracted he wasn't hand cutting basil and grating cheese atop the pies. Even without the added ingredients, pizza was still great. First the problems in March, now this? And because he had the pass-through window open? That seems ridiculous. How many restaurants have whole façades that open up?...The Kid from Brooklyn on Di Fara
