Art Imitates Slice: The Well-Hung Di Fara Painting

Adam Kuban at Slice took this cute photo yesterday of pizza artisan Dom DeMarco plying his trade at legendary Midwood pizza destination Di Fara. We're sharing it as a reminder that, to paraphrase Zooey Glass, there are still nice things in this world of death panels and Espadas. The only way this little scene could be improved upon is if the portrait, by artist Andy M. Sachs, featured a little infinity mirror effect by including the same portrait hanging on the wall in the painting. Woah. Oh, and if we had some hot five dollar slices right now.

    no wedgies, please

    Not to be pedantic, but the infinity mirror effect can't work if the painting is hanging in front of the real-life subject. it would have to be hanging behind him.



    See here for the classic example.

  • DiFara is good, but he puts a lot of oil on it and he always burns the bottom. Personally, I prefer Grimaldi's.

    Please!!! Not another pizza war. See Chowhound.com in the outer boroughs category to see what I mean.

  • Clickety-Clickety Clack

    You really can't compare these two pizzas. Apples and oranges my friend!

  • I guess Lombardi's and Grimaldi's might be a better comparison.

    And you can buy a print signed by Dom DiFara for just $50,000,000.
