David Portnoy’s Top 20 pizza reviews in Central NJ
When David Portnoy is not running Bar Stool Sports, which he founded on creating controversial content, he's reviewing pizza. A good review from "El Presidente" can send crowds so big that the line goes out the door and down the block, as they did at DeLuca's Brick Oven Pizza in Raritan Borough.
The place was so crowded that they ended up selling out several times in a single week. What can you expect when your pizza is so good that it rates a 9.4?
DeLuca's is just one of many Central Jersey pizza joints that received a top rating from Portnoy. There are so many great places that, for your convenience, I categorized them for you. Having already done David Portnoy's best NJ Shore Pizza reviews, here are his best reviews in Central Jersey, which covers Hunterdon, Somerset, Union, Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean counties. Mangia!
