'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…
