Dave Portnoy ranks Notre Dame dorm pizza before Rocco's
TLDR: In South Bend for the Barstool College Football Show, Dave Portnoy settled Notre Dame's dorm pizza war across Alumni, Dunne and Keenan, then found a 5-hour wait at Rocco's.
Before he got to any dorm, Portnoy tried the pizza spot everybody in his mentions kept pushing on him, and it did not go to plan.
For everyone telling me to go to Rocco’s in South Bend it woulda been nice to mention it’s a 5 hour wait. I guess I’ll be back at 9:30
His complaint is fair. Nobody recommending Rocco's mentioned the line, and by his own count he's looking at 5 hours and a 9:30 return. That's what happens when you roll into South Bend the night before Notre Dame hosts Miami in primetime on NBC, with half the state already in town.
The dorm pizza war started in his inbox. Earlier in the week Portnoy asked Notre Dame people whether there was really a dorm pizza rivalry, saying he couldn't remember ever getting so many messages about dorm pizza, and that he would settle Keenan vs. Dunne that weekend if he had to. Then Alumni Hall got involved, and a 2-dorm argument turned into a 3-way One Bite ranking.

Alumni Hall went first with its dog-themed pie, and the students got the honest version of a One Bite review right away, to their faces.
“We started with you guys. It's a little cold. Definitely a little burnt.”
It's a cool look at how Notre Dame dorm culture works. These halls run their own pizza operations, every dorm swears theirs is the best, and the residents crowd around while Dave chews. Dunne's pie came out thicker than Alumni's, with a crust and undercarriage he liked on first look. By the last of the 3 stops, though, things got shaky.
“The ingredients do look worse. No, buddy. We got a flop city here.”
Watch the video for the final order. Either way, Keenan won't forget the visit. Not long after the rankings dropped, Portnoy posted a picture of what was left of the hall.
Next up is the actual reason he's on campus. The Barstool College Football Show goes live from the Jordan Hall of Science lawn Saturday afternoon with Portnoy, Big Cat, Brandon Walker, Kayce Smith and Mike Katic before Notre Dame and Miami kick off at 7:30 ET. Then there's the 9:30 slot at Rocco's. If he goes back after the game and that line hasn't moved, South Bend will hear about it.
