Nope, this is an installment in a series about the daily schedules of famous restaurants from Lucky Peach. A previous installment (about Franklin's BBQ in Austin) was on the front page a few days ago in fact:
I don't know. I click on the link and go to some fluff piece about a restaurant? Didn't look like the content was any more related to Hacker News than any of the articles in The Gothamist or The Bold Italic (don't get me wrong, I love good food as much as the next person, I just expect to get those articles from Facebook, not HN.)
Not sure what you mean by "related to Hacker News", but the guidelines are clear: anything that gratifies intellectual curiosity is on topic. I don't think it's hard to see how an article about a master of the pizza craft might gratify intellectual curiosity.
I've been there a couple times. The pizza is really good enough to deserve this sort of attention. The biggest warning I could give would be that the wait times are typically really long, the place is really cramped, and there are only three folding tables for seating. The wait time for a single pizza could easily be over 2 hours, and there isn't anything to do in the area while you wait. That being said, it's certainly worth it for one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Just make a day out of it.
I had a boss who grew up in the neighborhood and held that Di Fara's was a touch overrated (if memory serves, he favored Totonno's or L&B). Still, incredible pizza to this midwestern boy.
Yeah, definitely prepare to wait... and to assert your place in line.
That particular style of stove gets like that - we had one in my family's restaurant. You can scrub it all you want, and it only looks worse. It's meant to be functional and reliable, but not attractive.
