Show up at 5:30 pm. Knock on the window politely and ask to put an order in. Run across the street to buy a 6 pack. Then wait in line , drink some beer , and eat the best pizza of your life by 7 pm.
The square pie is the best pizza I've had in my life. The circle pie is as good as any pie in New York.
the pizza is blissful. i waited 2 hours, and it was 100% worth it. i spent the last 30 mins watching him making the pies, which is a marvel. if you don't want to wait, you don't deserve the experience
Authentic square slice is heaven. Expect to wait +1hr, worth it - the sauce is delicious. Friendly service . Ask for some slices to eat and BYOB while you wait for your pie. Top 3 pizza in all NYC.
Worth the schlep to Midwood! Thin and cracker-esque, but still has that NYC chew in the crust. Great sauce, cheesy! One of the best in the 5 boroughs.
Delicious pizza with an especially crisp crust and Dom's authenticity . Is it worth the trip just for a slice? Maybe not. If you're 15 minutes away must you go? Yes.
This is an experience like no other. I don't think you're going to get a pizza like this one in any other place. Watching Domenico prepare them with love and care justifies the usual long wait .
This is the best NY pizza there is. Prepare to wait longer than you're quoted but it is 100% worth it. Highly recommend a square slice with soppressata , even if you're already getting a regular pie .
No matter how long the wait. 100% worth it. Best pizza in the entire world, including Italy. If I had a last meal leaving the planet, this would be it! LOVE DOMENICO! Long live Pizza Maestro!!!
You’re bound to wait at least an hour before getting your pie at this legendary Brooklyn favorite--but don’t worry, a frosty glass of BYO Riesling will be your reward…along with incredible pizza . Read more
Probably my favorite slice in New York City , but it’s a bit of a trek to get here from Manhattan.
Whatever you do here, go for the Square and watch the cheese literally (and sensually) still bubbling at the surface. The wait may be long, for obvious reasons, but the long awaited bite is worth it!
People warn you of the long wait , but you ignore them because you're just about to get the best pizza in NY. With a buttery sweet thick pie-like crust, that dough is what makes square pies stand out.
The plain pie was pretty bland & tough to chew - the crust was very cardboard-like. However, we also ordered a pie with pepperoni + mushroom and the crust on that one was amazing and perfectly crispy !
If you can handle the wait (and maybe the trip), the margherita slice is the best pizza slice in NY, possibly the world. You will spend $5 and regret nothing. I have never had anything remotely close.
Worth the wait? Yes. Best pizza on earth? Prob not anymore. Pies cheaper and crispier than slices. Prone to sog, so ask for everything extra crispy . Fav=White slice + wild onions . Super nice staff .
As silly as it sounds, by a square slice or three to share while you wait for your pizza . It will prime your appetite for a spectacular pie.
30 bucks per cheese pie/5 bucks per cheese slice; middle of nowhere; this is simply pizza of the life, the best I’ve ever had...
Totally worth it. We went in summer a little before 6 and lucked into giving our order for the 7 pm ... sitting? Around 7:20 the doors opened and our pizza was ready. Good timing I guess.
NY native and 31 years living, hands down the best pizza I've ever had. Wait the 90 minutes, get a pie with basil and garlic , and you'll quickly realize why they are the Peter Lugers of pizza .
You'll have to wait in line for a slice of this legendary pizza . Go for the Square Pie , which has just the right amount of chew and is topped off with fresh basil .
Domenico De Marco opened Di Fara in 1964, and today, the famed pizzaiolo still makes his own tomato sauce and grows his own basil . The line can sometimes reach two hours: but the wait is worth it.

The plain slice and pepperoni are the best slices of pizza I have ever had. The soprassata and peppers is amazing as well . Best pizza in the world.
Dom DeMarco is the most legendary pizzaiolo in New York, if not the entire country . His pies are topped with a three cheese blend, snips of fresh basil , and a thin layer of olive oil . Read more
Seems to be a nyc institution. The square pizza has a thick and crispy crust and overall great flavor (not sweet compared to L&b's). The regular slice was greasy & thin - throw in hot peppers there
Truly may be the best pizza in NYC . Did take a very long time though so do be prepared for that. A very special experience every New Yorker should have!
Spread Love its the Brooklyn Way! The "Don" Dom Demarco is handling the Pizza with his bare amazing hands for over 50 Years now! Much respect & ❤️ to the Di Fara Family!
Best pizza in NYC .. I said it. Get a whole pie to share and ask for the red peppers in oil on the side.
The pizza here is some of the best if not the best I've ever had. Slices take a while and press are pricey at $30. Fresh basil on top and the flavors are out of this world.
You’ll have to travel to the ends of the earth and wait all afternoon for this delicately handcrafted old-school pizza pie , so just go with it and make a day of it. Read more
This pizza is the best! Come with friends and order a classic pie.
I can’t say more than the absolute best pizza anywhere. There isn’t anything more NY or more traditional Brooklyn than a slice from Dom. Everyone should try this place once before he retires
This place is epic! Cannot go wrong here! Freshest ingredients on traditional pie! Try the carmelized onion pie- incredible and different!
Classic pizza is perfection. BYO but hard to find anything nearby if you go on Sat. Walgreens had beer .
Best pizza in America. Don't ask for anything special, just get a margherita or a square slice .
The classic slice is delicious. If you're lucky, they'll let you buy by the slice so you don't have to wait as long for a whole pie
Life-long New Yorker so I've had pizza pretty much everywhere. This is my favorite, hands down. Long wait on some days so don't come here for a slice! Get a whole (square) pie!
If they tell you there's a 2 hour wait for your pie, don't despair. Hop back on the Q to Coney Island , have a leisurely stroll on the beach , grab a hot dog at Nathan's. Then go back for your pizza .
The perfect thin crust New York pizza place . Every slice is a work of art . Fresh basil and mozzarella cheese on a crispy crust makes this pizza well worth the wait!
Possibly the best pizza in NY. Well worth the wait. Get a plain pie and then something crazy. Pick up beers across the street.
This is a bucket list pizza experience from a legendary NYC pizza shop and owner. Had a 4 hour wait and I'd do it all over again for the best pie I've ever eaten.
the di fara classic was olive oil drenched cheesy goodness but the square pizza 's crunchy crust blew us away. worth the 1.5 hr wait and $33+ per pizza pie .
Try the square pie for a thicker, almost biscuit-like crust, absorbing every essence of DeMarco's fresh tomato sauce and gooey mozzarella . Read more
Ca$h Only!! Order the Square Sicilian for a crunch crust (12 pieces) $32. Process is you order first, eat, then pay at register. Say hello to Pizza Guru Dominic De Marco behind the stove. 75 yrs young
Cash only . Worth trying both pizzas , square and classic, both are excellent. Ideal to come on a weekday at noon
I order a pepperoni & basil pie and it was absolutely phenomenal! Definitely eat a hot slice before you walk away, if you don't you're doing yourself and the pizza a disservice
THE most famous pizzeria in all of BK (possibly NYC). Each pie is made fresh when you order it, w/ ingredients straight off the boat from Italy. About a 45 min. wait for a pie, but worth every second!
This place is all about nostalgia. It's a nice little adventure to head out to the middle of Brooklyn. The pizza is good & it's a treat to watch Dom prepare it. Cash only .
At least a one hour wait at opening hours without seats. After an hour and a half of standing we got to sit. Pizza is pretty good though but I wouldn't say worth the wait. Definitely try Grimaldi's
The soft dough of the crust is what makes this pizza amazing! Get the squares you wont regret it. - Christina Barbosa
It’s called Best pizza bc they have great pizza. Chill, old school vibes! Pretty solid cheese slice - Carol
For meat-lovers, go for the Hellafied Porkpie White - mozz, sopressata, sausage and hot honey. Vegetarians won't go wrong with the Daniela Spinaci - garlic, spinach and olive oil. Try everything! - LewChristiane
This is New York's beach. I recommend you to go on sunset hour. It's really pretty and romantic!! - Diego Rufo
$3 well drinks at happy hour. $10 beer flowers. Fun deals, nice backyard space. BBQ available sometimes too. - Chet Mancini
