Dave Portnoy's funny pizza mishap in Parsippany, NJ

It’s been a busy week for New Jersey pizzerias with Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy back in the area giving his thoughts on what we have to offer in the pizza department.

While the One Bite Pizza Reviews are always entertaining, his review of one Parsippany pizzeria was particularly funny because of a SNAFU that almost happened.

Dave Portnoy reviews Famiglia Pizzeria

Though "El Presidente" had visited this pizza joint before, he returned for another review.

After praising the passion of the pizzeria’s owner, Portnoy starts to open the pizza box. “I hope I love it because-“ is all he gets out before he nearly drops the full plain pie onto the ground.

Luckily, he quickly realized what was happening because he was able to stabilize the pizza, but then has the face of a child who knows they’ve been caught doing something wrong.

“If I lost it, he… that may have been… we’d be having a funeral on our hands,” Portnoy joked.

After the near tragedy, he is able to form his rating with several bites of the recently saved pizza.

“Good undercarriage.”

New and classic favorites: The best dive bars in New Jersey

The term "dive bar" used to be something derogatory. Nowadays it's more of a badge of honor to say to own one, go to one, or work at one.

We started in South Jersey, stopped A LOT in Central Jersey and ended in North Jersey. We left out the Jersey Shore bar because there are just too many to choose from. If your favorite isn't on the list, don't be offended, just tell us about it. Here we go...
