'Good Quality American Pizza': David Portnoy Reviews Somerset County Pizzeria

MANVILLE, NJ — A family-owned pizzeria in Manville is the latest New Jersey spot to get a visit from Dave Portnoy, the Barstool Sports founder who runs a popular pizza review series online.

Portnoy stopped by Manville Pizza and Restaurant (31 S Main St. in Manville), which has been owned by the family since 1969, for the latest "One Bite" review.

The Massachusetts native typically orders a thin-style cheese pizza at every place he reviews, and rates each pie out of 10 based on taste and style.

"Good sauce, good tang," said Portnoy who rated the pizza a 7.5 out of 10. "Good quality American pizza."

The owner of Manville Pizza said it was a "wonderful review! Thanks again for coming David Portnoy - El Presidente, a day we will not soon forget here at Manville Pizza."

"Although this may not be his preferred style, he recognized the wonderful taste and quality of the product," wrote Manville Pizza and Restaurant est. 1969. "I am very proud and couldn’t have said it better. 'Good Quality American Pizza'."
