'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.

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. This is all that matters. We’ve been waiting for all season,” the 47-year-old said, sporting a large bandage on his neck. “I have cancer, by the way. No big deal.” Portnoy expounded on the announcement in a video about the diagn…

'Garbage Face': Somerville Pizzeria Takes Parting Shot At Dave Portnoy Months After Viral Fight
The saga continues. The owner of Dragon Pizza hasn't forgiven Dave Portnoy for calling his pizzeria the "worst pizza in America" during a viral shouting match on the sidewalk outside of his Somerville restaurant last year. In fact, he thinks the Barstool Sports president is a "dumpster whore." Charlie Redd rekindled the public beef with Portnoy in an Instagram post last week that features a cutout of Portnoy in a dumpster with some of his teeth blacked out. He captioned the image "Right at home" and included the hashtags #garbageface, #checkyalater, and #dumpsterwhore. Drago…

Billerica Pizzeria Doesn't Live Up To Hype For Pizza Portnoy, But Another Restaurant Saves Day
