Dave Portnoy reviews two pizzerias in NJ
Dave “el Presidente” Portnoy of Barstool Sports did one of his one-bite pizza reviews of Massa Roman Square Pizza in Scotch Plains.
Portnoy began his review by saying how much he enjoys that style of pizza, because it tends to be crispy every time (which is how he likes his pizza). He mentions that the “undercarriage” of the pizza is just how he likes it.
Portnoy raved about the pizza, saying that it is light, crispy, and very good. He also extolled the freshness and size of the pie and that it lives up to the hype (it got an 8.0 on the One Bite app).
He ultimately gave the pizza a score of 8.1, which is pretty high.
Next came Il Forno a Legna in Rahway.
He pointed out that Forno a Legna is right across the street from Nancy’s Townhouse; Pornoy gave Nancy’s an 8.8 in a previous review.
His initial impression of the Forno a Legna pie was that it looked good; more like a New Haven pie than a bar pie. He took a slice out and while saying he wanted the restaurant to do well, the pizza had too much of a “flop.”
He said that it looked like something he would like and that it had good taste, but zero crunch. You could tell he wasn’t impressed, even though the place had gotten a high score on the app, wondering if he had just gotten a bad pie.
His final score for Forno a Legna: 6.8.
