The Corcoran GroupMay 1, 2010Dominick is a true pizza master and takes his time to get it right. Be patient and don't be picky. You will be back. Cash only
The square and round pies each have their distinct cult following. Try'em both, but if you must choose, go square. It's a transcendental experience.
Juston PayneFebruary 3, 2012If you want the best, you've gotta work for it. Get there before it opens if you want to wait for 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.
Louis MattaNovember 22, 2015The above average slice isn't worth the waiting time, but it's an institution that merits at least a visit.- Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and unannounced private parties on Thursdays. And they don't pick up their phone. And Maggie is a moron.
Roland YampolskyJune 13, 2012Most incredible pizza of all-time, hurry up before Dominick is no longer with us. He is one of a kind.
- Andrew YochumOctober 2, 2011Indeed the best pizza in NYC. Be prepared to wait for hours... but its worth the wait.
Emily VerkruyseJanuary 8, 2010Go to DiFara around 5:45 pm so you're there when Dom opens back up at 6 (thus avoiding the line). Still wait about 45 minutes. Experience magical pizza goodness that's oh so totally worth it. Read more
Hope Anne NathanDecember 8, 2011Beware the small square table: it's so wobbly, my drink literally slid from one side of the table to the other - I was lucky I caught it before it fell off!
Annie TOctober 13, 2014With all that wait, you might as well get a pie. Square cheese pie with sun dried tomatoes.
Tiffany SFebruary 10, 2010best. pizza. ever. Push your way to the front of the crowd at the counter (the line isn't really a line) and order a pie -- it's often faster than waiting for a single slice.
Renée Tessier NunleyMay 12, 2010You will wait an hour or more for your pizza but don't give up. The wait is worth it. This place has the best pizza I have ever had.
- Lissa M.December 2, 2012Not a tip. More like Upset that I can't ever go to that place because its always so packed! They MUST be really good! Can't wait to try their pizza
The best pizza ever. Be sure to get a whole pie, not just a slice.- Hope Anne NathanDecember 8, 2011Beware the small square table: it's so wobbly, my drink literally slid from one corner to the other - I was lucky I caught it before it fell off!
Jason HernandezOctober 14, 2012Get there early and be prepared to wait a while your pie is being made...bring cash!
Josh ChanJanuary 3, 2013Instead of waiting in the store for your pie go to the Dunkin Donuts down the street for hot coffee and seating.
Jeff WooDecember 5, 2010Best pizza in Brooklyn: Get here mid week & mid afternoon, less wait. Get a pie with porcini, pepperoni and/or sausage toppings
Jeff StevensMarch 18, 2012Get there early and be patient! Dominick is a master pizza artist, you'll love it!
Billy SaltsSeptember 29, 2012Try the Pizza With Pancetta - Holy moley!! Trust me, it's worth the wait
Katherine M.June 5, 2014Happy we tried it, but I don't think the long journey + long wait quite justify it.
Jâck ChéèJune 21, 2017$1 pizza shames this place. 1st two times here, badly burnt but at least ok where not burnt. this difara classic was a soggy mess uneven toppings, unsupportive crust. Best rip off pizza....
waisum tFebruary 15, 2010Get there early. Stand your ground in front of the counter and don't move. If you're not assertive, you won't be able to ever taste the most delectable slice of pizza. Welcome to Brooklyn.
PatrickFebruary 2, 2010If you don't speak up, you won't get your pizza. You may think there is a line, but unless you assert yourself, someone else will get your pizza. Don't be a jerk though, its too mellow for jerks.
StageBuddyApril 5, 2013Come as close to noon as possible. The lines get outrageous very quickly. Read more
