Di Fara: More Info + Pizza Burning
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
Dear, DOH: What if we sign a personal-injury waiver to eat at Di Fara? Would you let Dom open his place back up? Slice has taken the liberty of preparing one: Download PDF: Liability-Waiver-DiFara-Pizza.pdf...Eater: 'Di Fara's Closed Indefinitely'
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
I'd never heard of this guy before, but I just found one of his videos on YouTube. Update: Nevermind. He has removed his video from YouTube....From the Mailbag: Di Fara News
Hey, Just thought you should know: Went for dinner at Dom's place tonight. Looks like he finally caved in to the D.O.H. because he was actually wearing a hat. It was a little blue train conductor's cap. Pizza was better than ever. We had a regular and a pepperoni/onion pie. It doesn't get any better than that. —Jon S. Jon, Thanks for the update. Next time: Pix, please! ;) Hasta la pizza, Adam...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...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
