The Best Pizza in Brooklyn

I don't wanna sound like an ungrateful guest, but I had the opportunity to check out Brooklyn's famous Di-Fara Pizza, supposedly the best pizza in town.
Well let me tell you this - if this is the best pizza in town, I shudder at the thought of what the Jewish pizza places would be like. Good old Arthur would kick this pizza's ass any time, any day, with his eyes shut and hands tied behind his back.
If I had to compare it to anything, I'd say it was not unlike the slices you get around Taylor Square at 4:00am when you are really hungry, really trashy and not all that concerned about your dignity. You know the ones, right?
The other thing... You know how the Taylor Square guys keep those pizzas warm with the heating lamps. Well Di-Fara doesn't need any. The place is just ridiculously hot. I'd say I spent less than two minutes there, and I was sweating like a pig... I'm not even sure they need to place the pizzas in the oven. They'd bake just fine anywhere in the shop. I am determined to find New York's best pizza though! And I will let you guys know how I go!
