Oh, hey, who wants a $150 pizza?
CJ
well it's 3 pizzas, and di fara's is pricy but that's absolutely marked up
Platinum
Nah, check the square pizza prices. Granted, feeds 16, but.
Platinum
Wait, two pack. Whoops.
Platinum
don't worry, that's only seventy-five dollars per pizza
6LilacMimeLions
that's $11 a person, which is a reasonable meal price
6LilacMimeLions
i mean, not for pizza
Platinum
Yeah, if you were getting more than a slice of pizza for that $11, I'd call it a decent meal price.
CJ
in any case, if you walk into di fara's, it's literally half that
6LilacMimeLions
are they shipping it to me? do i have to bake my own pizza? what's going on here?
Platinum
It's a mail order pizza, yeah
6LilacMimeLions
i don't have a wood-fired oven, so...
Platinum
I've got the bricks, I can probably make my own wood-fired oven if I half felt like it.
Platinum
Probably wouldn't be as good as Di Fara's, at least going by their reputation, but CJ sounds like he'd know more about that.
6LilacMimeLions
the oven is pretty crucial for a quality pizza ESPECIALLY IF I'M SHELLING OUT $90 FOR THE FUCKING THING

called to my attention by
10 Restaurant Trends We Never Want to See Again
Platinum
I've never heard of most of these 'trends'.
6LilacMimeLions
it's just the standard nyc navel-gazing
Platinum
But maybe that's because most of my dining out consists of Chinese, Chinese buffets, Popeyes, Whataburger, pizza joints, and BBQ joints.
Platinum
(My favorite pizza place closed down recently and I'm depressed over it.)
CJ
Di Fara's is fucking fantastic, but I'd never order a frozen one because there's no way it's going to be that good frozen and packaged
Platinum
Oh, and Waffle House for Saturday breakfasts.
Platinum
(Though now that my dishwasher's fixed, after four months, I'm probably going back to cooking my own waffles and eggs.)
Platinum
There's, like, four pizza places I want to try if I'm ever in New York.
Platinum
...But I'm unlikely to ever be in New York, so.
Platinum
Di Fara's is on the list
CJ
it's one of those places that's in the conversation for the top spot
