Great pizza with the freshest ingredients I've ever had. Only problem I had was the wait. They close in the middle of the day and open back but the line was crazy...so was the price

Don't believe the hype about this place! What a disappointment! They open at 1pm on Sundays...I ordered a square slice with garlic and mushrooms because Sunny Anderson said it was 'The Best Thing She Ever Ate'...well it was the worst thing I ever ate! They gave me my slice with TOTALLY raw mushrooms and garlic! YUK! And they only have seating for about 10 customers! I will never go there again!

CitySearch Tips
Look Good
It's only a few dollars more for pies made entirely with buffalo milk mozzarella, but beware: Though more flavorful, the cheese is milkier, meaning a droopier pie that can disrupt the well-calibrated flavors and textures.
The Extras
Mr. De Marco imports cheese from his hometown of Casserta, and uses sweet, plum-shaped tomatoes from nearby Napoli in his sauce.
Know Before You Go
If you're driving out on the weekend, keep in mind that meters operate on Sunday, rather than Saturday, in observance of Midwood's largely orthodox population.
FourSquare Tips
You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two.
Dominick 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
Exercise patience, receive pizza.
On Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Sunny Anderson reveals her favorite Italian dish, Pizza with Mushrooms and Garlic, from Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn, NY. Find more tips at FN Local.
Think pizza only tastes great from wood or coal burning ovens? Think again. Fresh, quality ingredients imported from Italy set these pies apart - try the real, thick-cut pepperoni or fresh artichokes.
If you want any chance at doing something else with your afternoon or evening, get there about a half hour before it opens. Order a whole pie; it's not worth the trip to get it by the slice.

The best pizza you can possibly eat in New York City. Others will scream about Grimaldi's or some other place, the is no better pizza than Di Fara. Take the Q train to Ave J, you will never regret it
Go to Di Fara. Get there before he opens (around noon). Barely a line to speak of.
