Di Fara in New Jersey, You Say?!

Now that we're back in full swing around here, it's time to play catch up with some news. Did everyone see this crumb that Di Fara threw out on Facebook the Sunday after Christmas? Clearly things have been in the works, but it's hard to gauge just how far along the plans are based on the pizzeria's zipped lip approach. Of course the questions started flying in the comments of the post, and the only reply was:

Dept. of Health Temporarily Closes Di Fara... Again

Wow, so this happened, again. (More fuel for the anit-Di Fara fire, aye Girl Slice?) Di Fara has had an ongoing struggle with keeping things up to code. The first in a string of closings happened back in March of 2007. Things had been going pretty well of late, but it looks like Dom DeMarco is back on the DOH radar.

Di Fara: Rant and Response

As the wife of the "Slicemeister General," I get asked on a fairly regular basis if I like Di Fara, which is arguably the pizzeria on which Slice's reputation was based. I emphatically answer NO. I do not like Di Fara at all. I have been four or five times, and I have never had a good time. Why not? Let me enumerate.

Portrait: Di Fara Pizza's Dom Demarco by Eddie Cohen

[Photograph: Eddie Cohen]

I just had to draw your attention to this wonderful portrait of Di Fara Pizza's Dom DeMarco by artist Eddie Cohen. It appears in Eddie's gallery "Old Men at Sea." He took it at Di Fara, rigging up a DIY "studio" with some light box material and using the natural light that pours in from the windows of the pizzeria. Anyone who's been to Di Fara often enough will recognize the look Eddie's captured here. It's a rare sort of playfulness Dom shows sometimes when he's not busy, busy, busy churning out pizza and turns instead to gently razzing a customer.

Christopher Kimball at Di Fara?

I spotted this shot on Facebook and couldn't help but wonder what it all meant. So I checked in with our man Andrew Janjigian, who just happens to 9-5 it at America's Test Kitchen. Turns out he took the photo and was on location during the filming of the video to be included on next season of the PBS show America's Test Kitchen. Andrew was there because his New York-style pie, beloved by us, is going to be one of the featured recipes in the season lineup. We will have to wait until the show airs to see what Chris and Dom got up to, but in the meantime, check out the other pictures from the shoot on the Di Fara's Facebook page.

Early Pics of Dom DeMarco Jr.'s Las Vegas Pizza Chain

Hey Slice'rs—no big news to break here. We told you back in last July that Dom DeMarco Jr., son of the legendary pizzaman at Brooklyn's planning to open a chain of pizzerias in Las Vegas. That plan is finally starting to come to fruition and we've got a few pictures of the first location in progress.

NYC Pizza Cultural Literacy

Here's the tweet that inspired this post:

Yes, @alexandrak, such a post does exist, and if your boyfriend finds what I'm about to write all TL;DR, he can check it out: The 10 Best Pizzas in NYC » That's a solid list, no doubt. And if his NYC pizza research stops there, I'm sure he'd be happy. But I think simply dropping a best-of list on a New York newbie does him a bit of a disservice. After all, he's moving to a pizza mecca. I think a little context is in order.

The 10 Best Pizzas in NYC

When deciding on this list, certainly history, setting, and pedigree had an impact, but in the end, it was all about the flavor. We didn't care whether the joint was 80 years old, or 8 months old, as long as they served a tasty pie. And here they are. Our favorite pizzas in the city. A mix of the old, a mix of the new, a representation of most of the boroughs, a bit of something delicious for everyone.

See the Di Fara Documentary Followed by Q&A with DeMarco Family

You might have already seen the Di Fara short documentary The Best Thing I Ever Done here on Slice (indeed, I just embedded it above again), but if you live in NYC, you can see it again, on the big screen, followed by a Q&A session with proprietor Dom DeMarco's daughter Margaret — and possibly Dom himself, if he's feeling up to it, says M. Emily MacKenzie, the film's director.
