These NJ pizzerias made Dave Portnoy’s ‘best of 2025’ reviews

It’s always exciting when El Presidente of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy, visits a Garden State pizza joint to give them one of his famous "One Bite Pizza Reviews."

What good is it having some of the best pizza in the country if it’s not going to be appreciated?

In 2025, Portnoy visited multiple New Jersey establishments, two of which were highlighted in his channel’s “Best of” video

These two NJ pizza spots were in Dave Portnoy’s “Best of 2025.”

The first one given the shout-out is in Jackson.

Mona Lisa Pizza

Before Portnoy even gave his One Bite Review, he took notice of the pizzeria’s owner, Joe.

Guy in there…like… straight out of like Goodfellas. Italian vibes, jumpsuit.

Eyyy, that’s what you get when you come to Jersey, Dave!

Portnoy always appreciates when the slice he’s trying doesn’t have any “flop.”

“Good. Good football pizza. Good crisp!”
