7) Di Fara Pizza
There are a lot of foods that scream Brooklyn. Bagels, hot dogs, egg creams, artisanal pickled ramps (ok, that's a newer addition) but maybe none more so than pizza. And choosing the iconic Brooklyn slice is no easy feat. Do you go with Grimaldi's, where the lines have been known to reduce a grown man to tears? Or L&B Spumoni Gardens, with their perfect square but less than perfect slice? I'm going to have to go with Di Fara, I guess, because, not only is the pizza delicious and the assembly of each pie an act of artistic genius, but the fact that it's a family run business on an out of the way corner in Midwood makes it a true Brooklyn gem.
