'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…

Beloved Mass Pizzeria Doesn't Live Up To Hype For Pizza Guru Portnoy
A Billerica staple didn't hit the spot for Dave Portnoy. The owner of Barstool Sports said he was annoyed and disappointed after he felt obligated to make the trip to the popular restaurant after receiving "hundreds" of comments, messages, and DMs. That hype buried DiVito Brothers Italian Pizzeria, Portnoy said in his latest One Bite Pizza Review, even though he gave the 446 Boston Road restaurant a good score.

Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Mass Sports Legend
The football world got its first taste of New York Giants Quarterback Tommy DeVito's agent on Monday night, but Massachusetts residents and many college football fans in New York already knew him. Sean P. Stellato made a splash Monday night, Dec. 11, when a video of him and DeVito went viral on X, formerly Twitter, with even Barstool Sports Owner David Portnoy shouting him out. Though, in true Portnoy fashion, he has a small grudge with the former Salem High School alum. This motherfucker wrote a book about beating Swampscott my senior year.

Barstool's Dave Portnoy Rates Greater Boston Area Pizzeria...Sorta
Dave Portnoy seemed to be more excited about a Boston-area pub and his own hair than the restaurant he was actually reviewing.
