“Thin, looks good, a little flops,” he starts.

After burning the top of his mouth and encountering a spotted lantern fly (a true Jersey experience), he decided the pizza was good quality.

Portnoy tried their Detroit-style pizza, he described the slice as “really good” despite the heaviness of the pie.

He describes his preferred Detroit-style pie to be like an offensive lineman: it should “look heavy but be light light on your feet.”

He was initially thrown off that they threw in one of their fancy slices in addition to the plain pie.

Portnoy ended up giving the buffalo chicken slice to a bystander after expressing that “it’s not my vibe.”

As for his bite of the plain slice? He admits he may have had it a bit too soon before it could cool off, because he described it as a little too floppy.

It didn’t stop him from enjoying it though, “great taste… quite a bit of flop.”
