Review content:
Just visited Di Fara's for the first time, waited about an hour after ordering (and 2 reminders of our order) even though there was close to no one in the place on a Thursday afternoon. Everything here is very casual, which is the major charm/annoyance of the place; orders are occasionally written down, but pizzas are basically auctioned off to the most vocal customer as they come out of the oven. The food: the pizza was good (preferred the regular slice to the Sicilian-style square), maybe very good, definitely better than most NY pies, but I was a bit underwhelmed. The inevitable response to this is, if you don't want to wait in line for good pizza then go somewhere else, it's less people for everyone else to wait behind. I grew up in New Haven, CT on Pepe's pizza; I'm used to waiting 2 hours for a great pie. But the difference there is twofold-once you got inside, you didn't wait another hour for your food after ordering (and have to check back with the employees because they've started serving people who came after you), and every time I eat there I am truly wowed by the food. I definitely wanted to love Di Fara's, and it does have a charm to it-the fact that Domenico is so focused on making pies that he doesn't even pay attention to the business side, and that he does everything himself, shredding fresh cheese and clipping the basil that he himself grows with a pair of sheers fresh on every pizza, is old world and one of a kind. The ingredients are as fresh as they come and it reflects in the taste, but I'm not sure if the pizza is really all it's cracked up to be, and if it's worth the trek and subsequent wait/ordering game. I realize that the place has such a reputation that it is very hard to live up to expectations, but New Yorkers also have a tendency to go into lemmings mode when it comes to food. Hype and perceived quality-before the first bite is ever tasted-sometimes form more of their opinion than anything else.
Pros: Good pizze, charming spot
Cons: Hope they remember your order, $4 slice
