I love it. No fanfare. No bells or whistles. The Dom just gave him the same slice he gave to 100 people earlier that day, and it killed every other pizza in the city.
@@valentinpons9191 No the review is real. There's a video of it. I ended up digging around and he gave the 10 because it was the pizza place he grew up on. The pizza that started his love for pizzas.. so to him that's a 10 since it has a special place in his heart, which makes sense.
"there Jews everywhere...idk what this Italian place is doing in jewville but they are smoking...this pizza " 10/10 best critic love this guy want.more of him !
@@Matt-ym3if lmao no not really. But his comment is because he is Jewish as well. So you can't doxx him and call him racist. I know that disappoints some of you....
Fun Fact Mark Iacono (owner of Lucali's) got his inspiration for making pizza from Di Fara's Owner Domenico DeMarco.So its not surprising Di Fara's Pizza is Better than Lucali's
But eating DiFara's pizza is part of the story. It's the wait outside, sometimes around 45 minutes, and then watching them make your pizza. The old man has the same flour caked up in his forearm hair since I was a little kid going there 30 years ago. It's watching him grate the cheese fresh for your pizza and the proper drizzle of Fillippo Berrio olive oil and then trimming the fresh basil with scissors right before he closes up the box and hands you the hottest pizza pie in the world. You art watching a master craftsman ply his craft and then tasting the delicious result. Quality is not an accident and cannot be faked.
My grandma's house was on E 16th and Avenue M. Used to take home pies of Di Fara's all the time. Didn't know how famous they were till recently. To me it was a local pizza spot lol.
45 minutes???? Try fucking 2.5 hours and again sometimes it's amazing but sometimes it's shit because it's packed and he's tired and will randomly take a fucking hour to make one pie. Not to mention one slice is $5 and a pie is like $40-$50 insane prices
@@javin70 OP just wrote a thoughtful message from the heart and I have to scroll down and see a dirty buttery garlic smelling philly whiz cheese eating cretin screaming about the wait time and average pricing for a masterclass pie.
If you really want your mind blown... watch this (elderly Chinese Americans speaking with a Mississippi accent) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2NMrqGHr5zE.html
A cold DiFara slice still gets best score of all time. And with a "Bum tooth." If he had done is correctly and ordered an entire pie like he usually does, the score would have been higher.
Always come back to this video and tell myself this has to be the greatest pizza of all time. It wasn’t even hot. Frankie ate scraps and agreed. No pressure from the owner.
I tried Di Fara today, I bet anyone $1000 that hasn't tried this pizza, if they had a blind taste test of Lucali, Di Fara and L&B Spumoni, NOBODY would choose Di Fara as the best tasting pizza. You just taste the parmesian that is sprinkled on top and the basil. Nothing special about the pizza, it's completely bland in flavor other than those 2 toppings that are applied AFTER the pie is done. If you think this is the best pizza in the world, you just like bland pizza and clearly have not tried much else.
@@lambro4014 Pres has tried over 500+ pizzas and this is the highest score he ever gave x2 so technically this is both the best square and best triange pizza in the entire united states xd
@@dheemanghoshal2330 No it's not. It's nothing special. Di Fara tastes like any other pizza. The ingredients don't stand out at all in terms of taste. Tomato flavor is bland, cheese is bland, dough is bland. Maybe Dom Demarco used to make incredible pies but now he's retired and some Asian guy is making all the pies. They don't taste like anything special.
My Grandma’s apartment was less than a block away from this pizzeria… I used to eat there every summer as a kid. MASSIVE nostalgia. I always told my classmates the pizza was the best near Grandmas!
I lived 5 minutes from this pizza most of my life and didn’t know about it until my son saw this video and tried it. I didn’t believe it would be the best pizza I ever had and coming from Brooklyn that says a lot. I’ve also tried the top few in New Haven. To me this is no doubt the best pizza I’ve ever tasted.
That's my subway stop and it was a good spot. In 1999 it got put on a Brooklyn guidebook so started to get some more traffic. 2001-2004 there was several NY times articles about it. Suddenly huge lines of people were coming and price for a slice went way up. I never got why it took 40 years then all the reviews in the same period. Then again the friends that use to make fun of me for living in Midwood only came to try the pizza after it was already trendy and expensive. From $1 in 1999 by 2006 it was $5 a slice.
I’m from Louisiana and when Dave said a 9.4 I had to try it. I went online and they delivered through a vender. It was fucking unbelievable what was happening in my mouth. Lol. By far the best pizza I’ve ever had.
My friends and I went here based on this review. It was hands down the best pizza I have had in my life. The thin slice was my #1 pizza, and the square slice #2, and I only got the square slice because my friends insisted on it (I usually don't enjoy thick pizza).
@@aarongrisham463 Aaron, you do understand that the person who made this remark about an "Italian place in Jewville" was the host of the show - Dave Portnoy, right? And you do understand that Dave Portnoy is Jewish, right? So your attack on the guy above is very misplaced, right? Now I'm an Italian American, and I'm enjoying Dave Portnoy's review, and reading the comments, and then I have to be hit with your remarks above loaded with demeaning ethnic insults. I myself would never have used the "Jewville" remark that Dave Portnoy uses because I despise prejudice, bigotry and ethnic slurs - even when done in jest as Portnoy does here - I just don't find it funny or amusing. But why aren't you attacking the man who made the remarks? Do you realize that your use of ethnic slurs against Italians marks you out as a bigoted, prejudiced imbecile? And stupid also, since you don't even know the slur is "wop" and not "whop." Do you have something against Italians? What made you into such a bigoted moron to use such insults? And yes, I'm afraid you sound like the typical "telephone tough guy" - in this case a "computer screen" tough guy, talking trash from a safe distance. I guess the history of your own people has taught you nothing about the stupidity and evil of ethnic based hatred.
@@larrybstreetfish5852 di faras is absolutely great I ate thier a lot of times when I worked in Flatbush the old man is number 1 pizza maker ever I don’t know if he still makes them because rumor has it his kids make the pizza now so idk
The Hebrew on the yellow flyer behind him actually says "Taste and see how good it is." It's an ad for an educational program, nothing to do with the store. Worlds colliding, Italian place in Jewville.
if Di Fara is not a 10 then a 10 doesn't exist. This is consistently ranked not only the best pizza in new york but also the usa and possibly the world. Went there four times on our New york vacation. Totally blew my cranium off. Can't wait to go back
Def lives up to the hype! A buddy and me were in NYC and looked up prez’s reviews and stumbled upon this and traveled from Times Square to midwood to try it. Didn’t even know it was his highest score at the time neither. Fucking solid.
What's funny about this is that he knew how good it was as soon as he took a bite without swallowing it and it was immediate. Once he swallowed it it only reconfirmed what he already knew.
He said in another review that getting an 8.6 or so is nearly impossible without coal or wood-fired pizza, yet DiFara gets the highest score on a regular electric oven. I've heard a few people say in interviews that the oven is key (and it is an old oven, but still....), but it has to be the sauce and layers of different cheeses, right?
Coal, gas, wood. Wood may impart a flavor into the pizza but there is no difference with heat. Heat is heat. Coal is just old school what they had back in the day. Coal or gas zero difference. It’s the temp.
Dave, you're doin it right. Been addicted to barstool videos for weeks and I gotta tell ya I'm a huge fan of how you've grown your brand organically from the ground up. You might initially come off like a hard ass but you treat people how they deserve and you never fail to deliver. You inspired me and I have tried nearly a dozen frozen pizzas during quarantine. I still have 3 more in the freezer ready to go. One bite everyone knows the rules 💪
You ain’t lyin, best slice in Brooklyn - expensive AF but like you said - you get what you pay for. Good treat on payday when I finish my garbage route over there
I'd love to see Dave review a fresh pie of round and square from here. 9.4 for cold-ish slices is dead-on, but I think the fresh pies could be in high 9's easily (it's a 10 in my book but I know Dave loves Monte's and that's fair). Granted, it's a slippery slope to re-review a place, but DiFara might be an exception given it's status.
Should give Dave a blind taste test 1 for Di Fara 1 for Lucali and a couple of 2 to 6 pizza scores See if Dave is really a good tester If I knew I was eating a Lucali or Di Fara pizza, Of course I'm going to give them 9++ or I would be laughed outta the place 😄😁
Dom demarco is the coolest guy you'll ever meet. I didnt really get to talk to him long but when I said hello he was a great guy and so was his family. Great old school family run business.
"Yyyyyup." That was a great review. When it's the really good stuff, you know in an instant. I had that experience in a coal fired oven place just a few months ago. Pretty sure all I said after the first bite was "Yyyyyup."
I went to John's of bleeker st. And Lucali's and I have to admit a freshly made square slide at Difarra is hands down the best slice of pizza I've had in all of NYC.
