Dear Slice: '1- to 2-Hour Wait, $5 Slice'
@Paulie Gee No I haven't made my way to Mike's Deli yet...I definitely want to check it out, thanks.
Yes, Dominicks has gotten some mixed reviews, especially from New Yorkers. The last time I was there, the old Italian waiter threw the empty plate down in front of me so hard that I thought it was going to shatter. I'm going to give it another chance and tell them to hold the patty.

Is that Spumoni Gardens you are talking about?
I won't be taking a special trip to the city for DiFara's....I like to eat at Dominick's on Arthur Ave for a cheap Italian meal and then head over to the Calabria Pork Store. I'm getting hungry....
Dear Slice: '1- to 2-Hour Wait, $5 Slice'
My hometown of Philadelphia has some decent pizza but I'm looking forward to dropping by this DiFara's place. Now I've eaten pizza all over Italy, from as far as the Italian Alps and Venice to way down to my late Grandfather's home in Sicily. My most recent visit in October of 2008 had me eating a ever-so-thin-pizza in Rome (Pizza alla Margherita: cheese, tomatoes, basil....that's it). It was delightful. For $5.00 per slice, it must surpass those I've eaten for years in Italy to get my seal of approval.
BTW, I just learned of your blog via NYT...very cool, looking forward to following it.

Actually, the above translation is incorrect. Yes, it's Neapolitan dialect but it roughly means: If you wish harm on the pizza maker, then you will have to deal with his bad son.
Essentially, the pizzamakers son will kick your "you know what" if you mess with his father and his craft. Great sign....
