What People Are Saying About De Marco's
Featured Review

The Scene – Two separate rooms offer widely divergent atmospheres: The dim, cozy corner space offers calm and warmth, but next door in the takeout shop, confusion reigns. Cooks and counter help scramble to keep up with orders and stay out of the others' way, sometimes promising slices to walk-ins without having any to sell. – – The Food – Despite borrowing the name of legendary pizza man Dominic De Marco, owner of Midwood pizza mecca Di Fara, the good pizza here has little in common with the ethereal pies of the original. Round and square pizzas alike are topped…

Not Di Fara, but Makes Up in Ambience
by Clowwwn
I went here after reading about it at Di Fara's. De Marco, the nephew of the Ave J. Mr, De Marco, is a genial Roman who came out to inquire about the pizza and briefly chatted afterward. We had a very good medium-thin crust round pie with extra cheese, which, although not as good as Di Fara's New York pies, can hold up as one of the top 10 I've had in the city. What really makes this place great was the sexy, intimate, but unpretentious atmosphere (dimmed lights, exposed brick, candlelight, empty not desolate), which I did not expect (and the takeout counter next door, for convenience). I shall return.
- Pros: Intimate, Pizza, Owner
Awful Pizza!!!
by russthomas1
Been here 3 times, (because near my job) and every time I have went I was diappointed. Last time was the worst, the service was real bad and terrrible pizza. The slice I bought was burnt and the pizza maker says that the way it is. WHAT? I demanded my money back and would tell everyone never to bother the walk to this out of the way place. This is New York, but this place is not New York Pizza
- Pros: bar
- Cons: pizza , food , service
The Place is Awesome!
by nlcfit
This place is great. I have gone to a few Happy Hours there and have eaten the pizza too many times to count. It just keeps getting better and better. The pizza is a concert of aromatic spices, gooey cheese and a wonderful sauce that always tastes fresh - not to mention the crunchy crust. I also love the Chicken Parm! I am headed there this Thursday for another Happy Hour and Karaoke.. can't wait!
- Pros: Friendly Staff, Cute Bartenders, Great for singles
What Happened?
by jleiberwitz
DeMarco's has been sort of a weekly stop for us in the last couple of months. But it seems that while they claim to be improving upon their pizza, its quality has gone down hill. The staff's familiar faces have been replaced by a younger, less knowledgable, less friendly group of B&Ters. I hope that the charm that we once knew can be recaptured.
- Pros: Old Staff, Old Menu, Old Pizza
- Cons: New Staff, New Menu, New Pizza
