If you're a fan of BarStool Sports (or just good pizza) you probably already know the name Dave Portnoy.And it's true - Dave Portnoy is a bit of a controversial figure in cultural and culinary circles alike - but his enthusiastic and entertaining pizza reviews can make (and ocassionally break) a local business, making a visit from "El Presidente" (as Portnoy is often referred, online) a major moment for a local Pizza shop.He rates his pies based on "one bite" - and while often a hard grader, he's generally generous and fun - scoring most bites on the north side of his 1 to 10 scale.Let's look at 6 South Jersey spots Portnoy has tasted, and reviewed over the last few years.(note - the full article below is from the Courier Post online)Bricco Coal Fired Pizza, WestmontRating. 7.9Comment: “It looks great, it really does,” Portnoy said of the pizza after taking a bite outside the shop on Nov. 18, 2022. “… It is good, 7.9. It’s on the edge of the eights. A little crispier. To me it’s more wood-fired than coal-fired. It’s good. It has great taste. If you put this in the eights, I wouldn’t argue with you.”Fun Fact: Bricco was named one of the best pizzerias (No. 28) in America in July in the Top 50 Pizza awards, which are presided over by culinary experts from Italy.Go: 128 Haddon Avenue, 856-477-2233; briccocoalfiredpizza.com/Palermo’s, BordentownRating: 8.5 (Tomato Pie 8.2)Quote: “It’s 5:30 (p.m.), it’s early,” Portnoy said in the video. “The place is buzzing in there.
