Dave Portnoy Surprises NJ Pizza Making Champ For 'One Bite' Review
It's about time! That's what Nino Coniglio is saying to Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy, who finally stopped by his Morristown pizzeria for a One Bite review. Without warning. "It means a lot," said Nino, a 9-time world champion pizza maker who owns six other restaurants in New York City, most of which have been reviewed by Portnoy. Six years ago, Portnoy reviewed two different pizzas from 310 Bowery, and gave them both an 8.1. Nino says the highest score he's ever gotten from Portnoy is an 8.7. Coniglio's made headlines for canceling a meet-and-greet with Tommy DeVito after his agent doubled …

Portnoy Reviews 'Paper Thin' Pie At Bayonne's The Vic Tavern
So thin you can get a paper cut on it. That's what Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy had to say about the pie at The Vic Tavern, a family-owned restaurant on Hobart Avenue in Bayonne. Portnoy stopped by apparently during a round of One Bite reviews across the river in Staten Island. He said The Vic is "very cool" on the inside, with pizza "so light" and "paper thin." He ultimately rated it a 7.7 saying if it had a slightly crispier crust, he'd give it an 8 or more. Portnoy has famously been a friend to Al Santillo of Santillo's Pizzeria on S.

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.

Did Portnoy Just Settle Nellie's-Kinchley's Pizza Rivalry?
Four years after sampling the pizza at Kinchley's Tavern in Ramsey, Dave Portnoy stopped by its rival, Nellie's Place in Waldwick. The Barstool Sports CEO gave the pizza at Kinchley's a 7.5 when he came to town in 2018. So, what's Portnoy's verdict on Nellie's? He gave the pie a 7.9. No, scratch that, he gave it an 8.1.
