Minute I heard that crunch followed by the "interesting", I knew it was a mid to high-7. After years of watching these reviews, we can predict based on many factors!

'One bite, I can't think of anything funny to say so I just say one bite and desperately hope for useless upvotes on youtube because reasons???' It's so fucking lame that it's actually painful to read comments like this. 'Oh! Portnoy's uploaded a video! I'd better jump on there and comment something that is loosely based on the fact he says 'one bite everyone knows the rules' in his videos!' 'HAHAHAHAHAHA! HEY LOOK GUYS!

These are the reviews I want to see more of, usually when someone says "Napolitian with a Midwestern flare" You can tell they're biding time and already making excuses for a low score. Like who are you bullshitting here?? But he was right on. He knew what he was doing, and what he described is what it was. Much respect and props. Gave his staff all the credit. And you love to see these guys succeed. And if it is a better style of Neopolitian, as Dave says... well shit then it's got to be an amazing pizza who prefer neopolitians, and when a lot of pizza aficionados ONLY eat Neopolitian pizzas. This is gotta be up there then.

My dads side of the family are from Kettering, where this is, had it last time I was there and it's a solid 8.

I have a glass they sell with the logo too.

[@matthewscott2538]

Old Scratch is a great quality pizza in Dayton. Not as old as Marion's or with the history, but over time will become that spot for newer generations. I hope Dave was able to stop in Giovanni's and try their pizza. Totally Dave's style of pizza! Having grown up on Marion's pizza and having eaten at Old Scratch I have to admit Giovanni's pizza stole my heart and pizza loyalty away from Marion's.

Hopefully that aint the same Giovanni's that's down in portsmouth. That's a greasy, floppy mess.
