The Portnoy Project

The Portnoy Project is a statistical analysis and mapping of Dave’s onebite pizza reviews (from Barstool Sports).

Click the double arrow in the lower right hand corner for fullscreen mode. There are 6 tabs to scroll through:

Location map of all reviews Reviews broken down by U.S. State Reviews broken down by city New York only ! Ratings by borough and neighborhood Rating analysis by whole number (for example, everything from 6 to 6.99 is grouped as a 6) and also by exact number Dave’s rating trends over time

More technical stuff and explanations are listed below.

Review Year Range: This is the date the review was posted; they don’t always correspond to the actual date the review was filmed, but that information isn’t available.

Global/USA Filter: Dave has done a handful of reviews outside the U.S.; they’re included, but this can be used to filter them out. The map isn’t as usable when the whole world (global) is selected, and the focus is mostly on U.S. reviews anyway.

Rookie/Veteran Filter: Dave was particularly generous early on – there were definitely some ratings higher than were deserved, as Dave admits in later reviews. “Veteran” filters out everything prior to 2016, which is only about 30 reviews.
