I have no problems accepting that their pizza is very good, though I didn't get to have any of it (so I gave them a high food rank here). However, I have a big problem with the guy who took my order. He mis-represented big time. As I stood by the counter to place my order, I asked whether a pie would be quicker, or a few slices. He said that, if I wanted more than a couple of slices, the pie would be quicker. I asked him how long, and he said, " about 40 min". I was ok with that wait, on a Saturday afternoon at 2:25, and placed the order and paid in advance. Long story short, we waited for an hour and ten minutes, the line for slices moved much faster, and we had still not received our order. In fact, by now we had figured out his process of tracking / placing orders, and there was no way we were going to get this in the next hour. I asked him again how long, and he again said "40 min or so", when we had already been waiting for 70 min! Why not announce this the first time around? Now, I don't have a problem with a $40 pizza, because it is listed. I do have a problem with someone who says the wait is 40 min, when he definitely knew that my wait was likely to be two hours or longer. I had paid in advance, so I asked for my money back, which he reluctantly gave me. It was a waste of a precious Saturday afternoon, since I made the trek from midtown. But, I am glad I saved that extra hour. I may have missed a few slices of good pizza, but after how this guy lied to me, I would not have enjoyed it. And, if you want to go, be aware that getting slices is much quicker than getting a pie, at least on a busy Saturday afternoon.

Hands down the best pizza in Brooklyn and maybe the world ! Well worth the wait !

The Price is rather high but you get what you pay for. Dominick uses the best quality products. Dominick is like an artist as he makes the Pies with 5 types of cheeses, fresh Basil and Oregano. I only buy the Square Pie. The round is good but too thin for the price. It's $5 a slice. I go maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Don't get me wrong. I've been eating here for 15 years and I love this place and Dom, but on my last visit something about the pie had changed. It had gotten smaller, the crust was brittle and overcooked, and the sauce had lost some of its zing. Back in the day this really was the best pizza in New York, maybe in the country, but the standards have slipped. No more rich, gooey, olive-oil and parmesan lush flavor, no more perfectly charred crust which is still fluffy and pliant and chewy. I used to eat a pie here and look forward to my next time back. Now, it just seems like another pizza pie.

Moving out of the country and couldn't leave without posting a review for Dom, Dom Jr, Margaret and the rest of the De Marco family :) . You guys have the best pizza we've ever tasted!!! Thank you so much for doing what you do and for staying true to your values and principles in service, quality and business. For those curious about DiFara's: if you really appreciate pure, straightforward flavors, hand-crafted food, and don't mind waiting for a mind-blowing gastronomic experience, then by all means go to DiFara, bring a btl of wine or some beer and get comfortable because most likely, you'll be waiting at least an hour for your pie, but each and every single time, it is worth it. If you're a whiny primadonna-kind of customer that thinks you're the center of the universe when you spend a dollar on something to eat, then steer clear of this place because you'll just disrupt the tranquil atmosphere of patient and peaceful pizza patrons waiting for their food. Also, steer clear if you're just looking for a cheap quick slice to gobble down while rushing on your way somewhere, obviously even if you pay and wait for Dom's pizza, you won't be able to appreciate what you get. Lastly, my recommendations: classic round pie, round pie with porcini and/or green olives, square pie with porcini and olives...mmmmmmmmm! We will miss you guys and this glorious installation in the culinary world when we depart in 2 weeks!

The wait sucks, the tables aren't cleaned (and there are only 3), only 2 people work there, it's far from civilization, and it's pricey. But, it's just so damn good, when you start eating you forget all of the above.

Whats all the fuss New Yorkers? Yes, the pizza is good, especially the square but its far from legendary. Another over-hyped NY joint. Go figure.
