Homage to DiFara and new dates
The pizza world lost a major figure this month, which is why we’re dedicating this edition of The Sauce to the late, great founder of DiFara Pizza: Dom DeMarco.
Since 1965, Dom and the DiFara Pizza have been putting out slices to crowds around the block. While neither Bob nor I have had the chance to meet him, the outpouring of grief shows his impact on the pizza world.

Other notable figures in the pizza world also poured out their hearts via Instagram.

While there is no doubt that this is a huge loss, the silver lining of this newsletter is that Bob’s Pizza Tour dates are now live! That’s right, come out and book your tours right here on our revamped website:
That’s it for us this week—hope to see you out on a tour sometime soon!
In crust we trust,
Bob + Jack

I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to try DiFaras before he went to that great pie in the sky. Do you know if it will stay open? And the revamped site looks great BTW!
