Di Fara Pizza

"The original Di Fara in Midwood is famous for its slow-moving lines. But now you can head to this spacious South Street Seaport location for their legendary pizza with no wait. We stick to the plain slice with lots of bright tomato sauce and a mostly crispy, dense crust that has a distinct sweet flavor. But they have about eight different varieties (including square slices with very crunchy bottoms), as well as rolls and calzones in two sizes. Don’t order the ridiculously large calzone unless you’re sharing it with an elephant." - Kenny Yang, Matt Tervooren, Hannah Albertine

"I decided to pay a visit the next day to the only other extant branch of Di Fara Pizza in NYC at 108 South Street, near Peck Slip, in the South Street Seaport." - Robert Sietsema

"At the original Di Fara in Midwood, you used to have to wait hours for the privilege to watch the late Domenico DeMarco cut fresh basil on top of your long-awaited pie. When you want a classic pie without the wait, head to Di Fara’s South Street Seaport outpost, a spacious white dining room with extra seating upstairs. We stick to the plain slice, which has lots of bright tomato sauce and a mostly crisp, dense crust with a distinctly sweet flavor. But they have about eight different varieties, including square slices with very crunchy bottoms, as well as rolls and calzones in two sizes. Don’t order the ridiculously large calzone unless you’re sharing it with an elephant. photo credit: Kenny Yang" - Kenny Yang

"Di Fara’s new outpost in South Street Seaport is now open, featuring their signature Neapolitan- and Sicilian-style slices. The location has applied for a liquor license and operates daily with varying hours throughout the week." - Emma Orlow

"Renowned pizza institution Di Fara may be expanding with its first Manhattan brick-and-mortar restaruant. The pizzeria, which operates a ghost kitchen on the Lower East Side and recently announced plans to expand to Staten Island, is looking to open at 108 South Street, between Beekman Street and Peck Slip, in the Financial District, realtor Luis Vazquez tells Tribeca Citizen." - Luke Fortney
