Pizziola Dominick DeMarco finishes a DiFarra Pizza
Di Farra pizza, Brooklyn, NY. Tried it today for the first time. Some people say it's the best in the city. It is excellent of its type. Zagat rates it a 27 of 30. Some of the pies came out of the oven nicely charred but mine wasn't . First rate ingredients were used and I loved the fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and olive oil that was added to the pizza after it was baked, making the hot pie exude a delicious aroma.The sauce was excellent with chunks of plum tomato, excellent texture and a wonderful natural balance between tart and sweet. Far too many places use sauce that is overly sweet. Paper thin crust that could have used a few more minutes in the oven to obtain a nice char. As I said previously, some pies were nicely charred mine needed some extra time. Fine quality mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, oilve oil, and that fresh basil, cut onto the pie with scissors, was excellent!
Di Farra is one of the few places that turns out excellent pizza by the pie or the slice. I'd give Di Farra a 24 out of 30 for food as the pie should have been baked a bit longer, 4 for decor-it's a great hole-in-the wall, and 4 for service. There is none! You come here for the pizza!!!!
