Pizza? At A Brewery? Here's How Portnoy Scored Pies At This NJ Beer Spot The Jersey Shore pizza tour continues. At a brewery.

Portnoy, on the second stop of his "One Bite" review tour, said the pie was Detroit-style, and more of a winter pizza. "It looks heavy, it is heavy," he said. "It's good stuff — it's heavy." His final score? 7.2.
