The Department of Health's latest anschluss has shuttered one of Brooklyn's best pizzerias, Di Fara. Pizza partisans claim the closure is merely DOH politicking, but a perusal of the DOH health report uncovers a ton of shit—or as they like to call it, mice excreta.

When DiFara proprietor Dom DeMarco told SliceNY that "the Department of Health had closed the place for little things" he wasn't exactly lying. Mouse poo—it's very little! And yes, while the DOH does mention in its report that he has to "wear gloves now—and a hat," they also mention the nearly 100 mouse droppings inspector Yip Lin Leung found liberally sprinkled around the storerooms, atop the wine bottles and even on the food prep tables.

DiFara's, unlike the recently permanently shuttered sister restaurant DeMarco's and of late the scene of a tragic murder, will be opening come Friday.
