Mama Mia, It’s $4.00 Pizza!

Di Fara’s Pizza, known in Midwood Brooklyn since 1964 for one of the best tasting slices around, is now known for having the most expensive regular slice in New York! Though it just jumped from $3.00 to $4.00 per slice, the regulars keep lining up for more. Pizza elsewhere in Brooklyn typically sells for $2.00-$2.50 per slice. The owner, Mr. DeMarco says the price increase is necessary because of the higher-priced, quality products he imports direct from Italy. So far it appears that Di Fara’s loyal customers are more than willing to swallow the high/higher/highest prices so long as their favorite pizza keeps on tasting as good as ever.

NOTE: Just a quick thought. Every Italian I ever spoke with claims New York pizza tastes much better than any made in Italy. Maybe it’s our water and not their products that make for really great pizza flavor!
