For many years, my sister and my brother-in-law have been claiming that the world's best pizza was made by a pizzeria in Brooklyn called DiFara's. I had never had it before, but this afternoon they were over with my nieces, and brought along some pizza from the place, so I could judge for myself.It was pretty damn good. The best in the world? Could very well be.
There'a a pizza place by the Brooklyn Bridge called Patsy's that a few people have told me is the best they've ever had, but I can understand why people rave about DiFara's. My brother-in-law had to wait about an hour after ordering two pies, as there was a big crowd waiting, as there always is. He was also telling me that DiFara's has a worldwide reputation, as tourists will travel deep into the heart of Brooklyn to get this pizza.
I can understand why. The crust was a bit thin, but the taste is terrific. We had both the plain and sausage pizza. It is also a bit pricy (a regular pie goes for about $15), but it is really worth it. DiFara's is at 1424 Avenue J, near E. 14th Street. I found more about DiFara's on this website:

I have always said that the best pizza in the world is made in Brooklyn (and not Manhattan) by Italian guys. DiFara's just reinforced my feelings. And fortunately for me, DiFara's is just one stop on the subway, or a good stretch of the legs, away from my house. I'll be back there again soon.
Manhattan is overrated, anyway:

ReplyDeleteOOOOO, you might get a few (at least one-me) comments about the New Haven pizza made at Pepe's.....if you're ever North and a little east of the city, you cannot go wrong! Simply the best.....I have a story about St. Croix, where my parents had a house before 1989's Hurricane Hugo wrecked our everything down there. The best pizza...on a small island named St. Croin USVI? And it was. I'll have to write about it, and soon, in these pre-spring training days of mid-January when Sox news is sparse.. And I will---thank you for the idea! Put it this way---the best pizza, beer, and three great dart boards, correctly aligned at 5 feet to the center of the bull-eye! Makes me a little sad, because that was my Dad's favorite place. But....that's it for now. I have to save SOMETHING for my article called CURT'S CAVE. Go PAT'S.
ReplyDeleteI am so uncultured - I think the best pizza I've ever had was from Uno's! Though I've only been to NYC once, and only for 2 days, so that's my excuse.
ReplyDeleteI love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
ReplyDeletewww.americanlegends.blogspot.com
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,
David
