| - Everything was on point the night I visited. It was quite crowded, but service was prompt and friendly.
I started with the Eggplant Pizzettes for an appetizer - crispy, breaded eggplant, creamy ricotta and well-seasoned tomato sauce were all delicious.
Their pizzas can be made with either of two crust styles: A round New York style thin crust or a square, thick crusted Sicialian pan style. I was able to sample both. We ordered the Di Fara Special which comes on the thick, square crust and it was fantastic. The crust had that super crispy fried edge along the bottom that comes from being baked in an iron skillet. It was topped with pepperoni and it was apparent that the ingredients were quality -thick cut, spicy pepperoni with fresh mozzarella, grana padano and a flavorful tomato sauce. Each piece was quite hardy and it didn't take much to fill me up.
The other pizza we ordered was the Bianca on a thin crust. This crust was not quite as thin as some New York style I have had, but the flavor of the dough was great and stood up to the toppings of garlic, basil, ricotta and cheese.
I would have a hard time picking a favorite between the two pizzas and will most likely order one of each the next time I go. And since I am secretly addicted to pouring Green Tabasco all over my pizza, the leftovers were almost better than the first night. Especially with the garlic in the Bianca seeming to mellow and penetrate the remaining toppings.
There was a line waiting to be seated as we finished eating, but our server did not try to rush us, which I appreciate. I just hope they can maintain their quality, because I will definitely be returning soon.
