Albert discusses the April $4 beer of the month featuring a delightful blood orange flavor, outlines his plans for Cinco de Mayo, and assures that there won't be any supply shortages like during St. Patrick’s Day. Following Dave Portnoy's Vegas rating of 7.9, Albert brings in Dom DeMarco Jr. from Brooklyn to fine-tune things.

Dave, we urge you to give it another shot!

Dom shares the captivating tale of his father's journey to America from Caserta, Italy, arriving at Ellis Island with just $30. He recounts the enduring legacy of DiFara Pizzeria in Brooklyn, maintaining the original marble and equipment since 1965. The pizzas are crafted using the finest ingredients imported from Italy. Dom reveals the origins of the pizzeria's name and the initial agreements struck. Starting work at DiFara at the tender age of 7 and becoming full-time by 12, Dom had to sacrifice schooling to help his family. He reminisces about homemade wine, his father's rural upbringing in Italy, and how DiFara evolved into a global sensation with the motto, "It’s Worth the Wait."

Dom speaks on the influx of aspiring DiFara franchisees from across the globe and why Albert and Jeff stood out. He reflects on the honor of having a place named after his father and shares anecdotes of his father's unwavering Italian identity, even when posed with a photo opportunity with Tony Bennett. Dom clarifies why there's no formal succession plan at DiFara and discusses his side career as a writer. Albert and Dom speculate on the future trajectory of pizza.
