Dave Portnoy rates Massachusetts and New Jersey pizzerias in 2026 reviews

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy continued his "One Bite" pizza review series in the first half of 2026, visiting ten pizzerias across Massachusetts. His scores ranged from 6.3 to a high of 8.1 at Fowler House Cafe in Quincy, with most establishments earning ratings above 7. The reviews often included brief interactions with owners and occasional celebrity sightings, such as New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s wife at Gianni’s Deli and Pizza.

In June 2026 Portnoy also travelled to New Jersey, awarding an 8.2 rating to Third Proof Pizzeria in Montville Township. He praised the slice’s light crunch and the smoky flavor of its New Haven‑style pizza, calling the joint "spectacular" and urging readers to drive out for a taste.
