'Bullied Into Sitting Down:' Dave Portnoy's Back In Town — With Visit To Hudson County Pizzeria
Dave Portnoy is kicking off another leg of pizza tasting in New Jersey with a stop longer than he'd hoped for in Hudson County. The Barstool Sports CEO dropped by Nino's on Bergen Street in Harrison for the first of many "One Bite" pizza reviews. "Soupy in the middle," he said outside the restaurant biting into a slice. "Good, solid. Football pizza. I'd like it a little tighter." Ultimately, he gave it a 7.4. Just as he was wrapping up, Nino's employees came out and insisted he come inside. They set him a place at a table where Portnoy said he'd been "bullied into sitting down." It was a…

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. Broad Street in Elizabeth, who suffered a fire…

Things Go From Bad To Worse For Portnoy In Latest North Jersey Pizza Review
Things went from bad to worse for Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy in his latest pizza review held in North Jersey. Portnoy said it himself after his first bite of the thin-crust pie at Lombardi's Bar & Restaurant in Cedar Grove. First, he noted his hoodie felt a little small, despite being a size large. Then, he burned his mouth. Davey Pageviews ultimately got over his woes, and gave the pizza a 7.3 — lower than the 8.2 given by customers on the One Bite website — then was coaxed into sampling the gelato next door at Sonny's Frozen Desserts by children watching him yet.

'I Wouldn't Wish This On My Worst Enemy': Penn State Pizzeria Trashed In Review By Portnoy
Wet and floppy. Sounds more like a gym sock than an enjoyable meal, but it's how Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy described a slice of pizza he tried from College Pizza at State College. While Portnoy is certainly known as a tough pizza critic, this slice didn't even come close during the One Bite review: 1. It didn't score much higher on the One Bite app: 1.8. Students warned him before he bit in to the Locust Lane pizzeria's pie, "Don't expect much." Portnoy dug in anyway. "Um, this pizza's trash," he said, guys around him laughing. "It's horrible." The College Pizza website …

Detroit Style Pizza 'Built Like Offensive Lineman' At NJ Pizzeria Reviewed By Portnoy
A good Detroit-style pizza should be built like an offensive lineman: Thick, beefy, light on its feet, according to Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy. And that's exactly what he got from Blue Steel Pizza Co. in Bloomfield. While Portnoy won't ever rank the chewy, rectangular pies higher than 8/10, he came pretty darn close during the One Bite review: 7.8. On the One Bite app, Blue Steel scored an 8.1. Blue Steel Pizza Co. is an American restaurant that opened in 2020 on Glenwood Avenue, and specializes in Detroit-style pies. It also has a family style menu, cocktails and an extensive l…

Barstool’s Portnoy Negotiates Last Minute Pie At North Jersey Pizzeria
Stan’s Chitch’s Cafe in Bound Brook closes at 9:30 p.m. sharp – unless you’re Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy, that is. The media personality and known foodie stopped by the Columbus Place pizzeria in a recent trip to the Garden State as part of his “One Bite” pizza review series on YouTube.

Ultimately, the connoisseur gave Stan’s a 7.1 out …

Barstool's Portnoy Notes 'Crust Integrity' At South Jersey Pizzeria
Tomato coal-fired pizza got the attention of Barstool CEO's Dave Portnoy in a recent trip to South Jersey. Portnoy reviewed a slice of "Tomato Pie City" at Marcello's Coal-Fired Restaurant & Pizza in Bordentown. The CEO specifically asked for the tomato pie. Noting the "integrity" of the crust, he dove in. "I do love this style,'' he said. "Thin, crispy, light." Another bite. "Yum." Another bite. "8.2," which is a high score. "These pies are right up my alley." The self-proclaimed foodie takes "one bite" out of pizza pies across the country and rates them. His co…

Barstool's Portnoy Samples Slice From Longtime North Jersey Restaurateur
Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy finally made it to Casa D'Pizza. The self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur was hoping to stop by earlier in the summer, but the Denville pizzeria had already closed. Knowing the pizza was rated 8.8 on his company's One Bite pizza review app, he knew he had to come back. Late last month, he did. Portnoy explains the pizza at Casa D'Pizza starts in a traditional oven and is then transferred to a wood-fired oven. He was excited to dig in. "It's just a little heavier than I like for this type of thin," he said, "but still great pizza." His score? A 7.5. This wa…

Armpit Of America? Barstool's Portnoy Hits Another North Jersey Pizzeria
Cute towns and good pizza is what New Jersey has to offer, according to Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy. The self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur was in the area hitting several local pizzerias for his "One Bite" review series. While sampling pie from Nicky's Firehouse in Madison, Portnoy took a minute to reflect on the Garden State.
