    Went a total of three times because I'm close by and I keep hearing good things. At all times it's a long wait, which I wouldn't mind if I was getting great pizza. Unfortunatly it was burnt every time. Not well done, BURNT, charcoal like crust. A lot of the reviews here talk about the guy that works there but it's not like he's engaging or even plesant. He just moves very slowly burning his pizzas. The third time I actually asked for either my money back or a new slice. He told me "I make slices the way I MAKE slices. You don't like it, take a hike". Oh well.

    That "burnt" pizza you were getting everytime is the style in which some pizzas are made. It's referred to as a charred crust and just about any top notch pizzeria in NYC makes them that way (John's on bleeker, Grimaldi's) its normal to have those really dark spots on the crust. If the whole thing looked like that well thats a different story altogether though.

    Di Fara has a good slice, better than average. Dom has been there for what seems to be forever. The place has not changed much from when I was a kid. Dom has a GREAT sauce! The worst part about Di Fara is it's terribly dirty. I haven't been there since the numerous health department closings, but the only constant over the decades that I've know this place is the sauce is great, Dom is the nicest of individuals, but his place is filthy. There are lines, 1 slice easy 30 minute wait. - Calling ahead also doesn;t help, it's still an hour wait for call ins. Dom's legacy is the fact that he's been there for so long, and so many pizza places have been sold or are now run by non italians, Dom is authentic and attracts MANY tourists. DiFara get's good press,which drives people to his door step to try his food, even when they were shut down for D.O.H violations, The press made him out to be a victim...

    Long, Long, Long, slow lines...hour wait to the counter on a good day. Watching Dominic make pizza is like watching an artist paint. After all is said and done you will never eat a square slice anywhere else but here! 100% The Best. Worth the trip from anywhere! Mouth waters just thinking about it!
