MIDWOOD – Only death and taxes …

Looks like the taxman caught up. DiFara’s pizzeria on Ave J was shut down today by the New York State Tax Department for failure to pay taxes.

> DOW JONES: “Di Fara, the beloved pizzeria in Brooklyn’s Midwood neighborhood, was shut down Tuesday by New York state for failure to pay taxes.
> 
> “The state’s department of taxation and finance said the pizzeria owes $167,506.75.”
