Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy has made his way back to the Garden State to rate our pizza with his One Bite Reviews.

After stopping by Clark and Garwood, ‘El Presidente’ tried out another Union County pizzeria.

“Good thin pizza,” Portnoy says with a shrug before going back in for several more bites.

7.4? Good pizza!

The salad pizza was less impressive to Portnoy, who makes it very clear that he would prefer to just have a salad in a wooden bowl with Italian dressing.

I want a salad in a bowl. Pizza in a pizza.
