I love pizza. Pizza is one of my favorite things on the planet. I could eat pizza at least 5 times a week. So, it's safe to say: I know good pizza.
THIS is good pizza. I wish I could use swear words in this review because I REALLY want to get my point across: THIS IS AMAZING PIZZA!!!
My friends and I came here after hitting the Brew fest all day to sop up the alcohol with PIZZA and CARBS. Yum.
It was my first time here. It was about 9:00 on a Saturday night. We didn't have to wait. AWESOME. The patio looked (and sounded) intriguing because there were a lot of people out there and it seemed like there was an awesome party going on. But, we had been outside in the cold all day so we opted to sit inside.
We ordered the 15th Street BLT salad to share and we stared at the pizza options for a good 15 minutes before we finally decided to settle on the DI FARA SPECIAL.
BLT salad came out really quickly and it had an entire avocado on top of it. I love avocado. Very fresh and simple but with great flavors: the bacon really complimented the cheese flavor of the dressing.
The DI FARA turned out to be an amazing decision. When we ordered it, the waitress asked if we wanted the smaller version. We said no and upon eating my first bite, I was very happy we got so much of it because I was already excited to eat it cold!
The pizza was deep dish (I'm not sure if you can get NY style if you ask for it?). The crust was flaky and soft but crunchy and almost had a buttery flavor to it. It was heavenly. The sauce is on-another-planet-good and the pepperoni reminded me of Grimaldi's pepperoni (but smaller). Very authentic and meaty. The cheese was wonderful and balanced the flavors of the sauce and crust perfectly. I don't think I could have imagined a better deep dish pizza, honestly.
Some might say $26 is a lot for pizza, but I don't. This pizza was huge. I only ate 2 pieces and probably should have stopped after 1.5 but literally ate past "full" because of how good it was. The 3 of us ate about half of the pizza and I was MORE THAN HAPPY to take it home and have another 2-3 days of left over pizza! :)
Oh, and our server was wonderful and friendly and kept our drinks full all night!
I can't wait to come back and try their other pizzas!!!
