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.

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…
