How do you figure out who has the best pizza when two legendary shops are under one roof? Obviously, you turn to an expert.

One bite, everybody knows the rules

And that expert is Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports. Simply put, when he's in your neighborhood, your pizza is likely to be judged.

And he isn't going to hold back and his ranking can literally make or break a business.

A look at Dave Portnoy's NJ pizza reviews

Don't believe me? Portnoy has crisscrossed the state over the years — here are just a few of his reviews.

Like the Hatfields and the McCoys. We're gonna figure this out. A flea market pizza rivalry that I didn't know existed...

So with popular opinions very evenly divided, let's turn to the expert...
