Why it is in the guide

Di Fara's Avenue J shop is tied to founder Dom DeMarco and a family pizza tradition that the current business continues. The official site lists the shop at the corner of East 15th Street and Avenue J in Midwood.

Its location is the central planning consideration. Include it for a destination pizza trip or when the group is already in south-central Brooklyn; do not treat Midwood as interchangeable with Williamsburg or Downtown Brooklyn travel.

Best suited to

  • A Midwood pizza stop
  • A destination slice
  • Combining food with a Brooklyn neighborhood trip

Before you go

  • Confirm current hours and ordering options before traveling.
