The 'Post' on Di Fara's Reopening
The New York Post files its story on Di Fara's reopening: "It feels great to be back. I thought I'd be out of practice until I made that first pie," said Dom, who's been serving up pizzas there for 42 years. Many of DiFara's faithful said the pizzeria got a raw deal from the city, which hit the eatery with nine violations."They're pinching this cat when all he does is make love for people to eat," said Matt Crane, a 37-year-old musician....The Dominator: He's Back
This Serious Eats stuff I've gotten myself into is a weird business. Blogging about pizza, burgers, and other food is now part of my job, so it wasn't out of the realm of the ordinary to take part of the day to go out to Di Fara Pizza. The joint had just reopened after having a nasty run-in with the New York City Department of Health. As many of you know, the DOH smackdown wasn't pretty. Along with minor violations like failure to wear a hat and gloves, references to mouse poop and unsanitary conditions peppered the report. But,...Slice's New Favorite Song: 'Dom'
An awesome email from the Slice inbox today: Dear Slice folks, My name's James, and I'm a fan of your site. Waaaaay back around 2001 or 2002, I wrote and recorded a song. It's called "Dom," and it is about a certain pizzaman in Brooklyn, about whom you know a little something. It's a little out of date now. Listen to "Dom": Dom I know the guy that makes the bestest pie in town His ass is not under the bridge You will not find him in Coney Island You will not find him in Bay Ridge...Dom DeMarco: 'We Reopen Tomorrow'
I just got off the phone with Dom DeMarco, proprietor of Di Fara. He says the joint's reopening tomorrow. And that when it was reinspected, it received a "0," which actually is good—as in zero violations....Gawker Digs Up Di Fara Inspector's Report
Oh, my. If you haven't seen it elsewhere, Gawker has dug up the NYC Dept. of Health inspector's report that closed Di Fara temporarily. If you know us, you know we don't like having to report this news. Source Di Fara Pizza: One Slice, Free Droppings!

Noooooo!!!!!! If you're about to leave work and get on a train for an end-of-week Di Fara run, nix that idea. Slice reader Gabriel S. just emailed: "Went by Di Fara looking for a slice today and saw that they were shut by the board of health yesterday. Do you have any details?" I just called Di Fara proprietor Dom DeMarco, who was at the restaurant, and he confirms that the Department of Health has closed the place "for little things." "They say I've gotta wear gloves now—and a hat," Mr. DeMarco said. "It's all little things, like everybody...'Edibles' on 'Stockholm Slices'
Not to beat a dead horse here, but Ed wanted to talk about the wait at Di Fara with me for a segment of his video-blog series "Edibles." Whoomp, here 'tis....A Hellish Wait at Di Fara
This morning at the Serious Eats office Ed came in talking about how he had dinner with someone last night who had spent two hours in line at Di Fara earlier this week. I was like, "TWO HOURS?!?! At Di Fara? Surely that's an exaggeration! Maybe two hours' total time there, but not solely in waiting." Funny then that I should get a copy of David Rosengarten's Tastings newsletter in my inbox soon after. In it, Mr. Rosengarten recounts his very long wait, after which, he and his friend employ a novel tactic for getting their fix: Mama mia....Hello, My Name Is
