The Best Pizzeria in New York is...

Whether you like thick or thin crust, light or heavy cheese or even with white sauce, everyone has their own preference when it comes to pizza. This holds even more true in the Empire state, with thousands upon thousands of top-notch pizza options to choose from, many of them famous indeed.

Still, you may want to make a day trip to get the best pizza in the state, according to a newly released ranking.

That place is Di Fara, in Brooklyn. Di Fara was described as the top pizza place in New York by the well-respected foodie site, The Daily Meal, in its newly released rankings that determines the best pizzerias in each state as well as Washington, D.C.

Domenico DeMarco has owned and operated Di Fara since 1964.

"Yes, it's a trek, and sure, Dom goes through periods when the underside of the pizza can tend toward overdone, but when he's on, Di Fara can make a very strong case for being America's best pizza," said the Daily Meal, which released its new list this past week.

You can find the whole Daily Meal state-by-state list here.

The publication has been identifying the 101 best pizzas in America since 2013; but, they said, "there are plenty of states with pizzerias that have never found their way into the ranking, including Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Today, those states are finally getting the credit they deserve."

Back to Brooklyn, though.

"Dom cooks both New York- and Sicilian-style pizza for hungry New Yorkers and tourists willing to wait in long lines and brave the free-for-all that is the Di Fara counter experience," the Daily Meal said.

Think about what you're going to order while you're on the way to 1424 Avenue J.

"You can’t go wrong with the classic round or square cheese pie (topped with oil-marinated hot peppers, which you can ladle on at the counter if you elbow in), but the menu’s signature is the Di Fara Classic Pie: mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, plum tomato sauce, basil, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions, and, of course, a drizzle of olive oil by Dom," the publication said.

The Daily Meal issued one caveat: "Yes, you're better off getting a whole pie than shelling out for the $5 slice."

And it made a final recommendation: watch the video about Di Fara called “The Best Thing I Ever Done.”
