RIP Dom DeMarco – The King of Pizza and Founder of Di Fara Pizzaria
Domenico “Dom” DeMarco, founder of Di Fara Pizzeria on Avenue J in Midwood, Brooklyn has passed away. See story
Every article about the best pizza in Brooklyn always listed DiFara Pizzeria at the top of the list for as long as I can remember. You may or may not agree, but he was a Brooklyn King of Pizza!
Dom was 85 years old and his pizzeria was open for 57 years. I met him on a rainy afternoon when I was around 10 years old. I was with my brother and when we walked in Dom said, “Hi Phil.” When we left, I asked my brother how he knew his name. My brother said, “Dom knows everyone who eats at DiFara’s.”
Other pizzerias are posting messages on social media about Domenico DeMarco tonight and each one is referring to Dom as the greatest Pizzaiolo of all! Look:
RIP Dom. Prayers for his family.
