Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy made another stop in Passaic County during his latest One Bite tour, dropping by Jojo’s Pizza in Little Falls for a slice. Portnoy, known for his no-nonsense pizza reviews, visited the shop at 104 Main St. and posted a 1-minute, 30-second video sharing his thoughts. Before even taking a bite, he wasn’t sold on the restaurant’s signage. "Generally, I don’t like this signage. Doesn’t mean the pizza’s going to be bad, it’s just too generic," Portnoy said. After his first bite, his reaction was clear. "You know what? This pizza tastes exactly how that sign…

Barstool’s Portnoy Walked Away Still Eating—And That’s All This NJ Pizza Owner Needed To See
Rob Corujo hasn't gotten much sleep since Thursday, Feb. 13.

It’s impossible!’” Kaloshi said. “Fifteen minutes later, he walked in. It was like we manifested him."
