Bro I can see that perfect score... because when a sicilian slice breaks down, having been cooked in a seasoned pan, it delivers that crazy dissolving gluten taste combined with the oiil, cheese and seasoning.. it's crazy! Great review.
I tried some of the best pizza joints in NYC when I went there. Patsy's, Joe's, Lucali, Prince Street, John's of Bleecker Street. They were all great. But Di Fara was a cut above the rest. I will never set foot in New York again without going back to Di Fara. Their pizza alone is worth a trip to NYC.
I hope y’all keep this up. There’s something fairly refreshing about watching y’all hit these USA spots and showing nice respect, but honest reviews, to these well regarded establishments. That’s what the people want to really see and I think you are doing it right and see the growth because of it. Bravo 🙌🏻 .
He gave you his insight, some tips on how he makes it and a lovely story about his Pops and how he built the business. What more could you ask for? And, to top it off, he has BANGING food !That thick slice looks rich in flavour and texture. I visited Brooklyn in 2012 and found a place called Spumoni Gardens near Coney Island. If it's still there and you end up back on these streets you def need to go there. Thanks for being real!
Funny thing is, all of those ingredients, even the flour, is imported from Italy but there is no pizza in Italy that tastes like that. It's actually tastier than anything you can get in Italy. I think it has to do with the oven and the prep of the dough.
Pizza came from Naples then migrated to America then back the the rest of Italy and the world so in a way you can say what we know as pizza is actually American.
It's most definitely not how they prep the dough as it's nothing special and the flour isn't anything special. The fresh ingredients on top and the mystique is what makes it.
I have the DiFara in Cary, NC near me. It was opened by Dom DiMarco Jr.’s cousin. I agree with the review. The square is better and it brings people to the house. Day before Thanksgiving we buy 4-7 pies and have a full house when we do.
real deal. not everyone loves the sicillian style, usually too doughy but when made right it can be a cargo ship of flavor (it can hold up so much stuff essentially). Try Donna's in NJ... great sicillian as well... Palisades Park NJ (not as good but one of the better you can get around here)
I am so happy that I have seen your review, because on Google maps Di Fara has a 4.2 out of 5 score, which is pretty low compared to other places in Brooklyn, it appears that it depends on who makes the pizza there, of course you had the best person there make the pizza. Apparently some pizzas made there were seriously messed up, and sold anyways. Now Di Fara is on the top of my list of places to try. Since I only vacation in NYC I can only try pizza there so many times.
Hi Matt I have been watching ur content for a long while now and had to pop in and say I love what u do so honest and u love what u do I love the fact callum chats along. I love asian Thai food which is something I don't see u reviewing but if u did ur score would go from 9.4 to a prefect ten. U all make such a difference to these places and in a lot of cases grow them well done to all the team
I've only been once. I think I got a dud slice. It was good, but my favorite is still Best Pizza (especially the grandma slice). I will go back to Di Fara the next time I'm in NYC though. I know they can do better.
Dom put grana padana cheese in the regular pizza before it went in the oven and then when it came out more grana padana ( which i hate lol ) and lots of olive oil after cooking - also horrible for me but i respect the man of course
How did it take you hours to get there if you were already in Brooklyn? Were you crawling? I got there in less than an hour on the subway from Times Square in the middle of the busiest season in June.
bruv, you gotta just move out here to the states, and just do pizza reviews. showed this to my italian dad, and he was tearing and laughing at the same time
It's odd that he admits each pizza could be different at his restaurant depending on who is making it. It seems that since the kids took over and started expand, that the quality hasn't been as consistent as when Dom was there (which I never had unfortunately). In my experience, I felt like this pizza was way over-rated when I had it a week ago. The sauce and cheese we're as good as it get's but the crust was way too thick when I had it... this could be different depending on whose making it which is a shame. It was an 8.2 pie to me and I tried both the regular and the square slice. I really wanted it to be as good as it was advertised but it just wasn't.
I tried di Fara back in 2013 when Dom was still alive and was making pies himself. My expectations were way too high, and therefore the overall experience was a bit of a letdown. However, it nevertheless a solid pie.
Just a few blocks from where i was born and raised. This was a great local pizza spot in the mid 90s. By the early 2000's they started raising the prices a ton. Good slice but too rich for my blood. =( The Yeshivah of Flatbush opened in the 1920s just a few blocks down way before the pizza shop. Was always a lot of jews in the area. Great location right by the train! Not far at all only 25 min from downtown Brooklyn.
THIS 🍕 IS MADE WITH TRADITIONAL FAMILY ❤️PASSED DOWN FROM FATHER TO SON, THIS IS NOT YOUR REGULAR PIZZA SHOP, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL! THE INGREDIENTS THE TOMATO SAUCE FROM THE BREAD FROM THE CRUST FROM THE CRISP OF THE CRUST IT'S HEAVEN IN YOUR MOUTH😋 THIS IS WHAT 🍕 IS ALL ABOUT. ENJOY CHEERS MATE 🍕🥤😋
Pop over to Wah Fung in Chinatown and get yourself a three roast there - best belly pork I have ever had, and it's the char siu people never shut up about.
Thing about incredible pizza, it doesn't always have to be expensive. it can be very very basic, BUT!!! it must always have the key features. great cheese, the better the bread the better overall. great flavor sauce, again doesn't have to be expensive but it must be balance and taste right. thin is good, crisp also good but not cracker thin. thats bar pizza. And If its good and basic it must be reasonably priced. The SLICE is on the go food, what you get jumping off the bus or stepping out the subways. Looking for a quick great meal. of course you have the higher tier levels of pizza. overall you can sight around 4 tiers of pizza. all great from from cheap to expensive. much has changed throughout the decades, especially in Brooklyn both good and bad. a changing of the guards, as the legendary traditional family run spots have gone away, families matriarchs pass away, and the children no longer want to keep the business going, or choose to do it in another state. aka Florida. typical move. so alot of the really REALLY great foods get lost to time. but you do have those individuals starting new spots, new foods, and its great, just not what things were of the past.
Your reaction to the Sicilian slice is normal to most New Yorkers. Dave never liked the Sicilian then he turns around and loves Detroit style, then he turns around and realizes only 1 place in his beloved New Haven is top 10 so he doubles down and re-rates several places. This includes giving Monte's in his home of Massachusetts and perfect 10 with complete "home town cooking" involved. Dave still doesn't know what a Pizzaiolo is never mind being able to pronounce it. But Dave is a great American and a friend to small business.
New subscriber here. Difara has some issues, yes the pizza is great.Problem is (you noticed) place is dirty as heck. Last time I was there (11yrs ago) huge pregnant roach goes up the wall..i said to Dom," hey theres a roach", he says dont worry they dont eat much. Plus, thats not including the shit flies around the bottle/can, 5c returns or the rusty Scissors to cut basil, he used to use. Not a hater.. Too many better places in new york city and brooklyn to go without getting sick. I always fought to Tottonos in coney island was the legend anyhow..and L&B squares
Been taking the subway here since i was a kid. They often failed their health inspections. Would say grade pending or a horrible score hung on the window. Mid 2000's they closed several times for rat infestations. By 2006 they were charging $5 a slice while every other joint in Brooklyn was still under $2. Use to be a great place in 1999ish when it was still cheap.
What a story👍🏼 fair play to ya mate for letting him tell his fathers story briefly. God rest Dom also 🙏🏼
Di Fara's is great. I also recommend trying Luigi's in New York. Great pizza.
Another entertaining, informative and balanced review. Love how you always emphasise the positives. Keep up the great work boys.
Much appreciated!
Bro I can see that perfect score... because when a sicilian slice breaks down, having been cooked in a seasoned pan, it delivers that crazy dissolving gluten taste combined with the oiil, cheese and seasoning.. it's crazy! Great review.
Correct, the long seasoned pan is everything. Our pans were 40-50 years old, never washed
I tried some of the best pizza joints in NYC when I went there. Patsy's, Joe's, Lucali, Prince Street, John's of Bleecker Street. They were all great. But Di Fara was a cut above the rest. I will never set foot in New York again without going back to Di Fara. Their pizza alone is worth a trip to NYC.

It's the water
@@paularcaria I'm sure it helps
It’s the olive oil finish and they use multiple different cheeses
It's most definitely not how they prep the dough as it's nothing special and the flour isn't anything special. The fresh ingredients on top and the mystique is what makes it.
RIP Da Godfather - Dominic
I have the DiFara in Cary, NC near me. It was opened by Dom DiMarco Jr.’s cousin.
I agree with the review. The square is better and it brings people to the house. Day before Thanksgiving we buy 4-7 pies and have a full house when we do.
"Whether its a games night or a gang bang, this brings people together" - That might be the best thing i have ever heard hahaha
Fantastic timing, off to NYC in April and a review of all the best pizza spots is ideal
DiFara is the best pizza I have ever tasted. We drove from New Jersey and they charged $30 per pie but it was worth it.
To only get two slices is insane
Ruff ruff woof woof
real deal. not everyone loves the sicillian style, usually too doughy but when made right it can be a cargo ship of flavor (it can hold up so much stuff essentially). Try Donna's in NJ... great sicillian as well... Palisades Park NJ (not as good but one of the better you can get around here)

Dom was the Godfather of Brooklyn Pizza.
Zero Doubt.
Every pizziaollo holds him in the highest regard.
Surprised you didn’t order a freshly made full pizza which would probably have been even better
Must go to Delucia's in New Jersey, just good if not better
guy in the car what you give it ? “five stars amazing “ what five out of ten 😂😂😂
STORY LIKE TOMASSO PIZZERIA IN THE HYDEROW STONE IN HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA.

Matt you make me laugh. You say to callum shall we get one each and then eat it all. Please let us see more of Callum/ dan as well😂
Love this channel. Only just discovered it - already top 5 YT food channel, for sure.
It's called Grape Crush
These US reviews are great… head to boston next for lobster rolls 👍🏻
Using someones bike as a table. In that area ur brave my guy! 🤔🤣🤣👍
When you have a camera it's OK (they know you're doing something with social media).
Dom put grana padana cheese in the regular pizza before it went in the oven and then when it came out more grana padana ( which i hate lol ) and lots of olive oil after cooking - also horrible for me but i respect the man of course
One of my all time favorite places to go
Di Fara is some Good Pizza! Def gotta try it again
The originator of “YUPPP” is Dave Hester from storage wars lmfao. But besides that, their pizza is top notch.
Great review mate
Iconic pizza right there
Looks good but what did Dave score this?
Let’s have it right. Nothing anywhere, ever deserves a 10.
How did it take you hours to get there if you were already in Brooklyn? Were you crawling? I got there in less than an hour on the subway from Times Square in the middle of the busiest season in June.
Traffic.
hi, how does Di Fara compare to new heven style pizza?
so which one did you like more? lucali or di fara?
In New York you gotta go to Sloppy Joe's on 8th Avenue 🔥 Schnippers
Next time! Where else would you recommend?
superb review what an interesting guy much love !
The Double Wammy, is that what it is called these days Matt?? 🤣🤣
You can judge a slice. You must get a whole pie. 😉
bruv, you gotta just move out here to the states, and just do pizza reviews. showed this to my italian dad, and he was tearing and laughing at the same time
Brother the word to describe the procedure with the fingers is “spocking “ an art which I have spent many years perfecting 😬🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️😎👍
Would be good to see a full pizza
Try Angelo's in Manhattan. That's my favorite and I've had them all.
Another good video 👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️🍔
Suggestion: Grandma style at Luigi's on 5th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Try it, you'll like it.
I love a good grandma! =)
Looks mighty tasty MAN

He smacks the pizza different JESUS 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pizzalovesemily and get the Emily burger it's insane
Prince Street pizza - double pepperoni extra crispy slice
You won't regret these
WELCOME BACK
I tried di Fara back in 2013 when Dom was still alive and was making pies himself. My expectations were way too high, and therefore the overall experience was a bit of a letdown. However, it nevertheless a solid pie.
The square with pepperoni is the best
double 9.4 on the wall haha shoutout el pres

Living his best life
Great interview, Matt!
I did recommend you go to best pizza but you went to di fara so I can't really complain, I so want to go here 😋😋
Dom Jr. comes closest to Dom Sr. when it comes to getting the pizza right. You lucked out that day!
Looks so official!!!
"nobody put fresh basil on pasta". What are you inhaling over there? What is in your water?
Lovely pizza review 73.2k subs
Iv seen a lot of pizza reviews for Di Fara, always top scores and always looks amazing, I was wondering if or when you would get to this spot 👍
THIS 🍕 IS MADE WITH TRADITIONAL FAMILY ❤️PASSED DOWN FROM FATHER TO SON, THIS IS NOT YOUR REGULAR PIZZA SHOP, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!

Thank You Mate sure to go there

why you streaming in front of porta potty?
Great review. DIFara is known for their round slice not the square Sicilian. But both are awesome.
pretty sure the guy said that was there most popular
@@aceofspades4948, *their
So you're saying Dom Jr himself is wrong that the squares have a cult following ? Yea I'm gonna go with the pizza guys word
Nice one Mandingo ..Full of flavour 😉💪..
Great review guys 👍
why no whole pies though
Try pizza time right around the corner from di fara really good pizza.
What a lovely bloke.
Hello. Can you do a top ten London best burgers? 🍔 would love to see your top ten list
You rated this better than pizzas in New Haven.
Gang Bang,LOL.🤣
If you had to choose, Di Fara or Lucali?
new haven and west haven Connecticut for the Unreal APizza of Connecticut
you will not be disappointed
MSG in the sauce is a game changer
God Bless
over hyped
Pop over to Wah Fung in Chinatown and get yourself a three roast there - best belly pork I have ever had, and it's the char siu people never shut up about.
I second this.
Go to Meriden Ct little rezdevous pizza coal fire great !!

The pizza I EVER had was in Naples, Italy. It was out of this World but I want to do a tour of the NY Pizzerias.

Best pizza I've ever had.
Is it better than what you get in New Haven?
It was better when the old man made it. It was a 9.6. Now it's an 8.7.
Mike is usually listening to good music while hes doing pies
And who doesn't love doing pies?!

Get a kick out of you going alway to US to tray food 😊
Excellent content, nice work lads
