'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? Good. Actually, better than good, teetering on the edge of great, he said.  Related: Portnoy Says Q…

'It's Not Good, It's Great': Portnoy Can't Get Enough Of Weymouth Bar Pizza 'It's Not Good, It's Great': Portnoy Can't Get Enough Of Weymouth Bar 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. Pizzeria Solid Score It's all about personal preference, Dave Portnoy and the owner of a Quincy pizzeria waxed philosophically during one of the Barstool Sports CEO's latest "One Bite Pizza Reviews." Portnoy hit several pizzerias during his most recent, event-filled trip home to Massachusetts. His visit included taking the stage to sing "Revival" with the Zac Brown Band at Fenway Park and getting "lost at sea" (his words) off the coast of Nantucket and needing rescue by the Coast Guard.  Related: 'Capt'n Dave' Portnoy Rescued Off Mass.

'Not My Vibe' Popular Pizza Guru Renders Verdict On 'Massachusetts Institution' Despite slingin’ pies for nearly eight decades, this “Massachusetts institution” didn’t quite impress self-proclaimed pizza expert Dave Portnoy. The 47-year-old Barstool Sports owner found himself in Essex County, at Tripoli Pizza & Bakery in Lawrence, for the latest edition of his “One Bite Pizza Reviews” YouTube series that was posted Tuesday, July 16. Founded by the Zappala family in 1924, the business started selling fresh bread and Italian pastries from its Common Street bakery.

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…

Swampscott Native, Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy Says He Beat Cancer Dave Portnoy, the Barstool Sports CEO who famously opens a bottle of champagne when one of his "enemies" falls, can pop a cork after announcing he beat cancer.  The Swampscott, Massachusetts, native, first revealed the diagnosis on an episode of Barstool's "The Dozens Trivia" game show as his team, The Zitis, was being announced.  “A lot of pressure.
