After purchasing a bag full of sweet treasures at The Orchard, hubby had Di Fara’s pizza on the brain. Di Fara’s is one of New York City’s allegedly best pizza. You have to understand that the city has thousands of pizzerias, but Di Fara’s is one of the inner circle of 3. Far from fancy, it sits on the corner of Avenue J and 15th Street in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. It is here that Domenico De Marco has been making pizza, by hand, for 40 years. All ingredients are imported from Italy; San Marzano tomatoes, spices, cheeses, olive oil–extra virgin.

But there’s a catch. Do not expect to walk up to the counter and order. From the time we got on line–outside the store, to the time we placed our order, and then received our order, it was 2 hours, and no guarantee of a little greasy table.

But here in New York, people know what’s worth waiting for.  I had a lot of time to take photos. Get your napkins ready.

YUMMO, another reason to get back to the Big Apple (but I need a tour guide who knows her way around.)  *grin* What a fun blog, thanks so much for sharing.
