Barstool Reviews, Slams Pizza Luce And Cossetta Pizza

Heads up; several rambunctious writers from satirical blog "Barstool Sports" are in Minnesota for the Super Bowl. While he's here, Barstool's founder Dave Portnoy is sampling the local pizza scene for his video review series, "One Bite."

Portnoy has traveled across the metro this week in search of a good slice. Based on local recommendations, his journey has taken him to Football Pizza, Pizza Luce, Cossetta, Young Joni.

In his mind, none of them top Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza (found in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul), which Portnoy sampled this past summer when he was in town for a celebrity golf tournament. Only one pizza joint he's tried so far this week came close to Black Sheep.

"One bite, everyone know's the rules"

Before you check out the video reviews, know that Portnoy has a ritual of saying "one bite, everyone know's the rules" before taking three or four bites or nearly eating the entire slice.

Portnoy: "It is football pizza. It's not great football pizza.”

Pizza Luce, Minneapolis and Saint Paul

Portnoy: "Don’t make me turn on you, Minnesota." He says the people who recommended Pizza Luce should be "ashamed."

His score: 5.3

Cossetta, Saint Paul

Portnoy: "It's a heavy slice. It's a Minnesota mush bobsled slice."

His score: 6.8

Young Joni, Minneapolis

Portnoy: "By far the second best pizza in Minneapolis."

His score: 8.2 (after raising it from 7.6)
