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. But it almost didn’t happen. Portnoy said his team had to “negotiate” to snag a pie just before closing time, and had to eat out on the sidewalk as employees shut down for the night, though he thanked staff for staying behind late to serve him. Ultimately, the connoisseur gave Stan’s a 7.1 out …

Old-School Hoboken Restaurant Owners Tell Portnoy 'If You Don't Like It, Don't Post It'
If you don't like it, don't post it. Those were the instructions that Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy got from the owners of Leo's Grandevous in Hoboken. "I can't do that," Portnoy said simply. The pizza-lover said he stopped into the Grand Street restaurant for some chicken parmesan, but was asked to rate their bar pie for his One Bite review series (Portnoy loves a bar pie). The verdict? 7.2. "It's like an appetizer," he said. But, he added, that he did love the rest of the food and the atmosphere. Leo's prides itself on being one of the oldest Italian restaura…

Barstool's Portnoy Raves About Trendy But Pricey And Maybe Inconvenient Jersey City Pizzeria
The pies go for about $40 and they're only available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy will be the first to say, that price is steep and the hours aren't convenient. But apparently Bread + Salt can get away with it because, well, the food is good. Portnoy raved about the fare at the Jersey City pizzeria in his latest One Bite pizza review. The trendy Palisade Avenue shop makes more than just pizza: There's flourless pistachio cake, Bomboloni, trays of lasagna, panna cotta and more. View this post on Instagram A post s…

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…

)
A South Jersey pizzeria got double the ratings from Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy. The self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur stopped by Palermo's in Bordentown to sample the cheese pizza, and subsequently the tomato pie — the specialty item at the Route 206 pizzeria. He gave the cheese pizza an 8.2 and the tomato pie an 8.5. The family-owned spot is named after the capital of Sicily, where the founding owner was born and raised. It promises authentic Italian cuisine in addition to its pizzas. Portnoy was in North Jersey over the summer rating pies in Morris and Essex counties. Palermo's, 6…

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…

Red Roof Inn Pizzeria Scores High On Portnoy's One-Bite Review
"Don't be fooled by the Red Roof Inn." That's Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy's message to anyone looking to try Michael Angelo's on Route 46 in Fairfield — located in the same building as the motel chain. Portnoy stands in front of the restaurant with the manager, who helped the owners open the place nine years ago after they left their longtime digs in Newark. The worker explains to the CEO that the eatery is known for its traditional Italian fare, but Portnoy was eager to dive in for another "One Bite" review. "Very few pizza places have as much to overcome as Michael Angelo's because it loo…

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. "I don't know why Jersey gets 'armpit of America' reputation, and I'm not going to say Paterson because I'm friends with the mayor," Portnoy said. "All these little towns are super cute and they definitely in this neck of the woods, they like the super thin pizza, whic…

Barstool's Portnoy Devours 'Underrated' North Jersey Slice In One Bite Review
In his latest venture to New Jersey, Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy makes a quick stop in Morristown. He was told the pie at Pomodoro Ristorante & Pizzeria was just his style: Thin, crispy, bar-style. He got just that. The self-proclaimed foodie takes "one bite" out of pizza pies across the country and rates them. His company created the "One Bite" pizza review app for users to rate pizzerias. There, Pomodoro's earned a 6.9. Portnoy said that's too low and instead, gave it a 7.5. "That's bad scoring," Portnoy said, noting the crisp and thinness. "I could eat it ev…

'Great F—ing Pizza': Tough Critic Portnoy Stunned By Brand New NJ Restaurant
A brand-new North Jersey pizzeria is getting rave reviews from one of the toughest critics in the biz: Dave Portnoy. The Pizza Shop by Flour in Hoboken got a visit from the Barstool founder at its newly-opened Jefferson Street digs for Portnoy's famous "One Bite" pizza review. Previously occupied by longtime tenant Delfino, The Pizza Shop owners jumped right into pizza last March due to permit problems — despite plans to do a half restaurant/half pizza concept. Anyway, their product didn't disappoint Portnoy. "In the back of my head I'm always like, I want my pizza people to have been do…
