Portnoy Goes On CT Pizzeria 'One Bite' Blitz: Here's Who Scored Highest
Dave Portnoy didn’t just come to New Haven for a slice — he came to reaffirm its throne. The Barstool Sports "El Presidente” made a whirlwind stop through six pizzerias around the New Haven region, tossing out ratings and raising crusts like a pizza pope on tour. Portnoy, who’s munched his way across the country, calls the Elm City area a “Dave Portnoy stronghold” — a bold, sauce-splattered badge of honor in a town that takes its pie as seriously as its history. Portnoy has made several visits to New Haven, handing out massive scores. The top three: Sally's Apizza earned a 9.2 …

Dave Portnoy Breaks His Golden Rule In Latest Pizza Review Meltdown: 'Am I Getting Soft?'
It's one bite. Everybody knows the rules. But Dave Portnoy broke it in his latest "One Bite Pizza Review" after fearing that a Boston pizzeria didn't get a fair chance because of a line cutter and excessive "box time." It was such a break from form that the Barstool Sports' El Presidente began to question if he'd gotten "too soft" and sparked an existential crashout on the sidewalk. This all began when Portnoy reviewed Boston's Pizzeria Rustico, located near the TD Garden. That prime location had him excited for a solid slice. But the restaurant's cramped kitchen and a man cutti…

Portnoy’s 9.2 Score Sends NYC Slice Joint Into Full Meltdown: 'You Ruined My Spot'
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has reviewed hundreds of slices — but when he walked out of Ceres Pizza in Manhattan this week, he looked stunned. “This is as good of a slice as you could have,” he said outside of the 164 Mott St. shop. “Just about the best single slice I’ve ever had.” And that wasn't even the official review yet. Portnoy gave the shop's cheese pie a 9.2 — one of the highest scores ever handed out in his One Bite series. “I can’t remember the last time I gave out a 9,” he said. Ceres was launched by chefs Jake Serebnick and Julian Geldmacher, both formerly of Eleven…

A 21-year-old college student says his life has been turned upside down in the days since a “F— the Jews” sign was ordered with bottle service at a Philadelphia bar—and shared with millions by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. Adnan Khan, a Temple University student, said in a video on X that he was at Sansom Street Bar in Center City during the incident but did not order the sign or know who did.

Dave Portnoy Rescued Off Mass. Coast By Coast Guard: 'Almost Lost Captain Dave Today'
President of Bar Stool sports and resident "one-bite" pizza reviewer Dave Portnoy nearly went the way of the Titanic after he said his boat was swept out to sea off the coast of Nantucket. Portnoy, never one to miss out on a good fish story, regaled his fans in a video on X about how the Coast Guard had to rescue him after he untethered his boat before checking to see if it had any power first. It didn't, which meant he had "no radio, no anchor, no nothing," he said. “Next thing you know, Captain Dave is lost at sea.” Portnoy said heavy winds pushed his yacht toward other boats…

Deadlocked: Rivalry Between CT Buddies' Pizzerias Wages On With Identical Scores From Portnoy

The Barstool Sports CEO has been sampling pies from pizzerias in West Hartford, including Zephyr's Street Pizza on Farmington Avenue, owned by Dante and Stephanie Cistulli. Cistulli was in the shop when Portnoy dropped by, and became emotional, saying his visit couldn't have come at a better time. The pizzaiolo explained business has been tough lately, but seemed to be picking up for summer. He knew the momentum from Portnoy would do him a world of good. Cis…
