'Time Out New York' Q&A with Dom DeMarco

What about puttting a screen on the window?
If I had to guess using my restaurant experience, there is a different between an open window where food is stored and prepared, than where its open in a dining area, probably a certain amount of feet from the serving area. That's just a hunch though.

You know, all in all, after all the fussing and fighting I do against DiFara's, that little interview really turned it around for me. The guy is doing what he loves to do and that should say enough. It shouldn't be about what standards I'd like him to hold up too, be it speedier service or a consistant pie. So, I will say it...I am sorry Dom!

Keep on working, and keep on loving what you do! I support you fellow pizzamaker!!

The Wine Is Fine at Una Pizza Napoletana—And the Pizza, Too

I hate to say it, but I disagree wholehearted that this place is good! Especially when you have such a great place like Luzzo's just around the corner. I did not enjoy this style of pizza, and certainly didn't think he made a quality pie for the price that he is selling it for.

He must put them on when cameras come out, because I've seen tons of pictures of him with the hat on. He looks cute with it on. Heh.

Since they reopened I have seen Dom without hat or gloves and the window open.

I did go in with a different perspective. I knew I was going to get something different. And I did. It was like nothing I ever tasted. A pizza in a pool of olive oil with bland tomatoes. The cheese was good, that was about it. Oh, and horrible service.

I have to disagree with the previous comments. Obviously any thoughts on pizza are purely subjective, but I think the pizza at Una is the best I've ever had. As the original article mentioned - you shouldn't (and really can't) compare the pizza at Una to the average slice (or the place around the corner as the previous posters did). It really is an entirely different style of pizza. Personally, I have never had anything but a great tasting pie at Una Pizza. I personally love the olive oil on the pie and find myself soaking up any leftover oil with my crust (have you ever done that at another pizza?). The key with Una is to go in with the right perspective, I'm not expecting a 2 minute, reheated slice. I'm getting something made from scratch with fresh ingredients by the owner. To me that's quality (and results) worth paying for. For you it might not be.

I agree with Scarboni, this place is completely overrated and yes, Luzzo's which is about 200 ft down the street is 100 times better. Una Pizza Napoletana's pies are mediocre at best, completely overpriced (it's barely the size of a NY slice, would you pay 20 dollars for any slice?). The tomatoes are lacking, and the pie is drenched in olive oil. The cherry tomato pie comes with a total of 4 cherry tomatoes. On top of it, the menu screams of arrogance as do the signs on the wall knocking other cheaper pizza places. The service is horrible. When we went there, the waiter seats his friends over people waiting in line. And he also has the nerve to put their orders ahead of everyone else as well. Apparently, this is a daily occurence. If you read the user reviews to this place on citysearch and other sites, you see that about 50% of the people that go to this place leave pissed off. I'm totally convinced Mr. Mangieri only decides to actually put effort into making a good pie when a food critic is visiting him.
