'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…

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.

Despite slingin’ pies for nearly eight decades, this “Massachusetts institution” didn’t quite impress self-proclaimed pizza expert Dave Portnoy.
