He never bothered changing the name: It was all about the pizza.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of New York experiences come with a side of New York attitude. Your waiter at Peter Luger will be gruff. The hostess at the hot-restaurant-of-the-week will sneer. Be ready to order when it\u2019s your turn at the Zabar\u2019s counter or else.<\/p>\n<p>But Di Fara has never been like that. It gets busy, sure, but Dom and his kids, who run the shop, always had time to exchange pleasantries with the regulars. <\/p>\n<p>And patience for the tourists. I watched Dom\u2019s daughter Maggie take a pizza order from a visitor who wanted a different topping on each slice. She laughed and wrote it down, and they made it. (Please, tourists to New York, do not do this.)<\/p>\n<p>Dom was a true artist, and everyone knew it. Each pie was a masterpiece. He\u2019d drizzle the oil over the finished pizza and carefully trim, with kitchen shears, the basil that grew on his windowsill. All the ingredients were super high quality.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"776\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=776\" alt=\"Dom DeMarco\" class=\"wp-image-21595504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1552 1552w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1164 1164w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=776 776w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=388 388w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza6CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 776px) 100vw, 776px\"\/><figcaption>The legendary DiFara\u2019s pizzeria is the go to spot for many New Yorkers. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Chad Rachman\/N.Y.Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza7CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Dom DeMarco\" class=\"wp-image-21595505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza7CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza7CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza7CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza7CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Di Fara Pizza opened in 1965 on Avenue J in Brooklyn.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Chad Rachman\/N.Y.Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Few were not dazzled.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t want to wear the little hat the health department insisted on. He did not wear gloves. He would plunge his hands into the oven to take a peek at the pie inside. Unsatisfied, he\u2019d rotate it until the bottom of the pizza met his expectations. His fingers were gnarled from decades of doing this. Every pie was perfect.<\/p>\n<p>It was not, by any means, a quick process. For a long time, Dom was the only one who touched the pizza. People imagined they could place their order and go for a walk, returning to find their pie waiting for them. Amateur mistake.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d go to Di Fara as a kid when I was too young to appreciate its uniqueness among the other corner-slice shops. My first time at Di Fara in adulthood, we placed our order and took a seat. Error. The crowd around the counter was marveling at the man and his work, yes, but people were also keeping up with their place in the line. Ninety minutes after our arrival, starving and miserable, we checked on our pizza only to be told it would still be a while.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza2CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Dom DeMarco pizza pie\" class=\"wp-image-21595503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza2CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza2CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza2CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza2CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Dom was known to drizzle oil over the finished pizza and carefully trim, with kitchen shears, the basil that grew on his windowsill. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Chad Rachman\/N.Y.Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"890\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=890\" alt=\"Dom DeMarco serves pizza slice\" class=\"wp-image-21595506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1780 1780w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1335 1335w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=890 890w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=445 445w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/072209pizza9CR.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\"\/><figcaption>The pizza family always had time to exchange warm conversations and excellent customer service to regulars.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Chad Rachman\/N.Y.Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We discussed amongst ourselves. Should we leave? Nothing could be good enough to endure this wait! But how could we give up now? We couldn\u2019t. We waited and then waited some more.<\/p>\n<p>Then it arrived. Piping hot, steam rising. Dom snipped the basil on top, grated the Grana Padano cheese. Every pie had his personal touch. \u201cGive it a minute,\u201d his daughter Maggie told us. We couldn\u2019t. We didn\u2019t. We burned the roof of our mouths and loved every second of it. We had never had pizza like this, not ever.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Kim Kardashian made <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> when she offered her advice to people who want to succeed: \u201cGet your f\u2013king ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.\u201d Dom would be surprised to be mentioned in tandem with Kardashian (if he even knew who she was), but he shared this intense work ethic. His children would talk about forcing him to take days off. As he got older, we could hear them encouraging him to sit down.<\/p>\n<p>The last time I had pizza made by Dom DeMarco was in October 2018. Just like the first pie, the last one stayed imprinted in my memory. We\u2019d see him at the pizza shop after that, but he wasn\u2019t making pizza anymore. He had passed on his gifts to others. The pizza at Di Fara is still incredible. But there will never be a Dom DeMarco again.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>: @Karol<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
