'I Just Need Little More Tang': Pizza Guru Portnoy Left Stumped By Milton Pizzeria 'I Just Need Little More Tang': Pizza Guru Portnoy Left Stumped By Milton Pizzeria
'I Just Need Little More Tang': Pizza Guru Portnoy Left Stumped By Milton Pizzeria Barstool Sports President Dave Portnoy thought he was being tricked.  Portnoy visited the Peel Pizza at 538 Adams St. for his "One Bite Pizza Review" YouTube show last week and couldn't believe he'd never been there. The restaurant is within walking distance of the original Milton office of Barstool Sports at 75 Adams Street, and it opened in 2013 when he and several others were plugging away at the original version of the sports and gambling website.  But how was the pizza?

'It's Not Good, It's Great': Portnoy Can't Get Enough Of Weymouth Bar Pizza Dave Portnoy loves a good bar pizza. It's something he brings up a lot during his "One Bite Pizza Reviews." So, he was expecting greatness when he visited Weymouth — "bar pie city" — last week, but he wasn't expecting what he got.  The Barstool Sports owner and Swampscott native visited several South Shore restaurants and pizzerias on his recent visit to the Bay State. One of those stops was Weymouth's Next Page Cafe at 550 Broad St. Portnoy was a little shocked at the "tiny, tiny" box that the pizza came in, but he said it packed a big punch.

'You'll Never Have To Leave': Pizza Guru Portnoy Gives Mass.
