Is Di Fara Pizza worth it with kids?

Worth itWith kids

With kids, Di Fara Pizza works.

A no-frills Brooklyn counter where pies are made one at a time and finished with fresh-cut basil and a drizzle of oil. Electric for pizza pilgrims who'll travel and wait; wrong for anyone in a hurry or expecting a slice-shop pace.

Price
~$5+ a slice; whole pies notably higher
Time
30 min–1 hour incl. the wait
