"The best of the best."

J. Kenji López-Alt

"Dom occasionally burns a pie or two, but when it's at its best, I'll be damned if this isn't the finest slice in NYC."

Serious Eats

"With plenty of heft, a crisp, fried bottom, fresh tomato sauce oozing over the edges and wonderfully crisp bits of cheese around the sides, this is the square pie that all others aspire to."

Arthur Bovino

"Bow down, ladies and gentlemen. The king is an exquisite blend of bright plum-tomato sauce, puddles of rich buffalo mozzarella, zesty sausage, peppers and onions, all topped with drizzled olive oil from a copper pot and snipped basil leaves."

Anna Van Lenten

"The legendary slice. Famously superb, this sizzling slice comes with crisp but not crumbly crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and meltingly soft cheese."

Andrew Zimmer

"It would be wrong to live in NYC and not put this on the list."

Matt Lynch

"Play it safe and snag an entire pie to go -- you just stood for two hours, so that burned at least a million calories."

Greg Morabito

"New York City's 25 Most Iconic Pizzerias: Di Fara Pizza - Dom DeMarco is the most legendary pizzaiolo in New York, if not the entire country. His pies are topped with a three cheese blend, snips of fresh basil, and a thin layer of olive oil."

Jennifer Polland

"The hand-made pies at this ’60s-era Midwood “legend" are made with so much love and effort that it has remained one of New York City's top pizzerias for the past 50 or so years."

Rebecca Fishbein

"The pizza itself is old school goodness, with thick basic slices all topped with fresh basil and drizzled olive oil."
