Just keep traveling north to New Haven. No reason to stop in NY if that’s what you want.

Danis and Gabbys look good.
I tried Margheritas. Theyre good too.
These places far from me

I've never actually done it, but I'm not about the multiple-day dough prep. I much rather proof it for an hour or two tops. Comes out fine.

Gotta go to Best Pizza in Brooklyn, also hit up Lucali's. Di Fara overrated trash. Similar to how Frank Pepe's is.

Lol I'm just being real man. It's a little above average @ best. Mostly hype. Dom DeMarco no longer makes the pizza...quality has since dropped with his kids runnin the place. I waited an extra 1 1/2 hours for my damn pie & called ahead of time well in advance. But, try it to settle your curiosity and lmk your honest opinion on it

I gotta try Margherita Pizza on the ave...hear good things. Gabby's isn't terrible in my opinion reason being they don't skimp on cheese & ingredients. You get what you pay for. Sauce isn't that sweet in comparison to Dani's in Metropolitan...now thats some sweet sauce and I love it lol. You ever hit up New Park Pizza in Howard Beach? Softest and delicious dough I've tried in a long time

Best Pizza is that spot! Damn what a phenomenal slice...love the thin crust with the toasty dough...I could go for some right now been meaning to go back lol. Lucali's seems like one of them hipster BK spots...idk I might be wrong but looks kinda gimmicky, correct me if I'm wrong. 100% agreed Di Fara is trash! Overrated & all hype!

Yes. I've never bothered getting a regular slice from them but their white slice and their roasted vegetable slice are fire.

Dani’s is good nice sweet sauce but always a line and you might be waiting a half hour plus.
Also New Park Pizza in Howard Beach on Crossbay BLVD. Lines aren’t that bad and they move quickly. Never really liked Howard Beach growing up so I grab and go.
There’s this other spot in Forest Hills around where I moved to I just tried out not too long ago that wasn’t that bad called D’Angelos on 108 street in Forest Hills.

Go to Di Fara.
Don’t listen to the people saying it is overrated. It is a piece of American pizza history. Take the subway out to Midwood. Wait in line for an hour. Order the square pie with sausage and a slice of the round pie (just to say you tried it). Wait for your pizza for an hour. Enjoy one of the world’s greatest pizzas. Savor the crust for its complex of evoo, butter, and fire. Then go sit outside the public library while you prepare for the ride back to Manhattan. You won’t regret it.
Dom or no Dom, Avenue J is Mecca to pizza fans. It’s not trendy. It’s not fancy (more of a dump). But it is the pizza from which all of your future pizzas can be judged. Forget the haters. Find out for yourself.

Might be some truth to this, and Di Fara is my #1 ever.
Last time I had it which was in December, the kids made it, and I agree it was pretty bad actually. The last time I had it before then was maybe June of last year? During that time he made my pizza, and it was still best in nyc. If its true he never makes the pizzas anymore, there may be truth to it being trash.

I am mixed on Margherita. First , for Jamaica, its expensive, like nothing on Jamaica ave should be that expensive. Now, for a "non-gourmet" pizza, its one of the better ones. The problem really is, the insane amount of cheese. I only order whole pies, never slices, and after we eat a whole pie, you feel gross as hell with all that cheese. If they cut down the amount of cheese it could be it would be a great pie. Overall Id give it maybe a a 7 as it currently stands, if they reduced the cheese, it would be a 8.5 in my mind. It has potential for sure.
