It’s on radar. I bugged out of town after college and came back much later so at that point was not on radar.

ToP is significantly better than 7.5 under Portnoy’s own rating system.

Further proof he doesn’t know ball.

Due to the increase in business from our Barstool pizza review, we will be closed Tuesday in order to restock our fresh ingredients and prepare our homemade food. We are working on a plan so that we can accommodate all of our customers! Your understanding is appreciated. Updates on hours will be posted on Facebook!
We are closed Tuesday.

He seems to have been fair this whole time
with the amount of pizza he has tried, any local rating should be taken for what it is.

It's one of the better spots for pizza down here but it's not at the top line Zee, Saint or Pizza Delicious. He rated Saint at 7.8 and tower of pizza 7.5. They aren't that close. The real score slipped out at 6.5. Either rate Daint higher or rate ToP lower. He's said he's softened up his ratings after realizing the influence he has on people trying out the spots he reviews.

It is real simple. He likes a well done pizza. No flop. Crispy. Cheese caramelized. This pizza wasn't undercooked but it was undercooked slightly for what Dave likes. The other pizza was cooked longer.

I agree with this. Saint is in the 8s for me.
