When Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy reviews a New Jersey pizzeria, people take notice.
A good review from the man, also known as “El Presidente,” can bring lines out the door and down the block as they did at DeLucia’s Brick Oven Pizza in Raritan Borough. It was so crowded, that they reported selling out several times in a single week.
With inflation being where it is, 1 in 4 Americans plan to skip Thanksgiving, according to a survey by Personal Capital Research, some are actually considering substituting and celebrating Thanksgiving with pizza. In fact, Big Boys Pizza in Marlboro has even begun making a Thanksgiving pie.
