Pizza Pizza



We took a trip over to Brooklyn to visit the aquarium and then visited the legendary pizzeria Di Fara. The institution has been there for over 40 years and one man does it all. His son works there too, but isnt allowed to touch the pizza. Interesting. Guess they dont believe in nepotism.

The pizza is thin crust with three types of fresh cheese: parmigiano, buffalo mozzarella and cows milk mozzarella. Also topped with fresh basil and drizzled with olive oil. He makes it at a glacial pace while a crowd of hungry spectators watch silently, entranced. The wait is always at least one, sometimes two or three hours!


As soon as we walked into the pizzeria, Luca sensed something special and started chanting "Pizza! Pizza!" He was so patient and waited with us for over an hour before we got our pie and he enjoyed every bite as much as we did!
