As part of his "everyone knows the rules" pizza review tour David Portnoy has checked out Tree House Brewery in Tewksbury, MA.

Originally from Swampwscott, Portnoy has been spending some time in Massachusetts over the past several days.  "Last time we were in Massachusetts everybody kept saying Tewksbury, Tewksbury Tewksbury Tewksbury  Treehouse. Did NOT expect this."

Tree House Brewery, formerly known as Tewksbury Country Club, has received a personal food review from Portnoy which was posted to his social media platforms.

"The pizza looks great.  The texture, the crisp, I love. I rate it as a 7/9. People are probably saying how the hell wasn't this an 8. It's a great pizza. Just something on it. I don't know what it is. Oregano or garlic, something is like strong on this pizza. And that's just kicking me down because I can't house it. This is just an unbelievable place in general. It is beautiful," Portnoy said.

If you're unfamiliar with Portnoy's pizza ratings, he is notoriously tough on his grading, so a 7.9 is nothing to sneeze at for Tree House.

Tewksbury is my hometown, so it was great to see the solid rating.  It was also great to see Portnoy actually pronounce the town's name like he's an insider.

People from Tewksbury call it "tooks-berry".  Outsiders say "Tewks-bury" with a major emphasis on the "w."  Dave's initial pronunciation of the town's name was quite up to par, but his pronunciation was spot on for most of the rest of the video.  I would personally rate his pronunciation of my hometown as an 8.1.
