Family Owned Brooklyn Pizza With a Light Crisp Crust
New York pies meet a featherlight, crispy crust and hands on neighborhood service.
🍕 The Light Crust
Di Farina Pizzeria is a family owned slice shop on Cropsey Ave where the crust does the talking. It bakes light, airy, and crispy, with a lift that shows in a pepperoni slice and in a basil scattered pie straight from the box, while a balanced cheese to sauce ratio keeps each bite in check.
The glass case up front holds whole pies and slices on display, and the specialty side runs heavy, with a meat lovers pie loaded with toppings and rich sauce plus a chicken bacon ranch option. Service is hands on. Run out of jalapenos and the owner will point you toward a better pepper for your pepperoni slice.
The room is clean and no frills, with pies boxed up for the walk home. The kitchen opens at 11 AM daily and closes at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday, stretching to 11 PM on Friday and Saturday for late slices. A 4.4 average across 179 reviews keeps circling back to the crust and the friendly staff at 2811 Cropsey Ave in Brooklyn.
