Domenico “Dom” DeMarco opened Di Fara Pizza in 1965, later dubbed New York’s best slice by Chef Anthony Bourdain, Mayor Bill de Blasio and other rankings, including The Post.
DeMarco’s daughter Margie Mieles shared the newsThursday morning. “It is with a broken heart that I must share that he has left my mom, my brothers, my sister, myself and all those that loved him because it was his time,” she wrote.
“My world revolved around my dad,” the Di Fara heiress and spokesperson continued. “I worked alongside him since I was a little girl. He was the hardest working man I know and he was a leader and will remain a leader through his legacy.” The pizzaiolo was the heart and soul of Di Fara, continuing to work up until his last days. Their beloved pizza is owed to DeMarco’s dedication to simplicity and authentic ingredients — and his signature scissor-cut fresh basil and olive oil garnish insisted upon every slice.
