Di Fara Pizza, Midwood, Brooklyn, a weekday evening
Di Fara Pizza has been a Brooklyn institution since 1965. For decades, one man stood behind the counter making every single pizza by hand. Dom DeMarco came from Italy and he brought his recipes with him. He's been a legend in this neighborhood for longer than most people have been alive.
I've known about Di Fara since I moved to Brooklyn three years ago, but I've never actually gone. Today I finally make the trip to Midwood. The shop is small and old-school. There's no fancy decor, just pizza.
I've waited in line for forty-five minutes, but I don't mind. The man next to me has come here for over twenty years. 'I've tried every pizza place in the city,' he tells me. 'Nothing compares.'
My slice arrives. The crust is hand-stretched, the cheese is fresh, and there's olive oil drizzled on top. I've eaten a lot of pizza since I moved here, but this is different. Some things are worth the wait.
