Adding to my list of why Cary isn't recognized enough for cuisine, and Durham can be overrated:
Cary, NC – Opening in early 2020, Di Fara Pizza Tavern is a new restaurant in Downtown Cary with by-the-slice pizza and specially treated water to give it the authentic New York Pizza taste.
New York Flavor
Di Fara Pizza Tavern, opening on E Chatham St., is owned by Greg Norton and Matt Geiser and is focused on making authentic by-the-slice Brooklyn style pizzas, with thin crusts and as much real Italian flavor as they can get...
...The history with Di Fara Pizza Tavern goes back more than half a century earlier, as Norton’s uncle Domenico DeMarco first opened Di Fara in Brooklyn in 1965. Since then, it’s been one of the top rated pizza restaurants in the city, with popular food critic Anthony Bourdain calling it the “best of the best” in New York pizza.
Guys. Di Fara is LEGEND. Maybe overhyped, but really really good. Dom stopped making pizza but it's still open. If his nephew learned from him for even one day I am more excited than I was about Wegmans.
I never really buy this whole thing about NYC water, it's technique, but DOM DEMARCO IS A PIZZA GOD.
By specially treated do they mean pump oil into it ala the East River?
NYC wins awards for its water, believe it or not. But I've never believed the nonsense about the water making the pizza better, I mean come on. Once I was up in NY and started talking to a couple women - at a pizza place no less - and they asked about the pizza here. Then they told me they knew someone who moved to Charlotte and opened a pizza place and "imported" water from NYC. I managed to keep a straight face. Somehow.
Shush! The uncle is known to be a master pizzamaker. So if he trained from him at all, that's a good thing.
Don't be a pizza debbie downer, Bo.
