Portnoy Gifts Fan Buffalo Chicken Slice During Review Of Jersey Shore Pizzeria
Buffalo chicken pizza isn't Dave Portnoy's taste. And neither is a floppy crust. The Barstool CEO, continuing his "One Bite" review stint along the Jersey Shore stopped by Salerno's in Hazlet. The Bethany Road pizzeria threw in a free slice of buffalo chicken, but Portnoy made it abundantly clear, it's not his thing. So much so that he gave it to a nearby fan. Portnoy ultimately gave the pizza 7.3, deducting points for a floppy crust, but the fan reviewed his free slice of buffalo chicken: 8.3.

Pizza? At A Brewery? Here's How Portnoy Scored Pies At This NJ Beer Spot
The Jersey Shore pizza tour continues. At a brewery. Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy stopped by Alternate Ending Beer Co. in Aberdeen to try its pies. To be clear, the kitchen is run by Talula's, an Asbury Park-based restaurant whose website touts sourdough pizza. Portnoy, on the second stop of his "One Bite" review tour, said the pie was Detroit-style, and more of a winter pizza. "It looks heavy, it is heavy," he said. "It's good stuff — it's heavy." His final score? 7.2.

Pizza From Brothers' NJ Shop Leaves Crunch To Be Desired, Portnoy Says
Dave Portnoy is kicking off another "One Bite" New Jersey pizza review tour in Old Bridge. Barstool Sports' CEO stopped by Via Sposito in Old Bridge, where he said he had one day to load up on pies before his colonoscopy. That's besides the point. On to the pizza. Portnoy ultimately gave the pizza a 7.4, telling owner Anthony Esposito his pies could use a little bit more crunch — but putting it in a cardboard box definitely wasn't helping. Via Sposito is owned by Anthony and his brother, Vincent Esposito Jr., both fourth generation Italians whose family previously lived in Brooklyn,…

Giants QB Tommy DeVito's Agent ‘Italian Jerry Maguire’ Is A Mass Sports Legend
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. Sean P. Stellato made a splash Monday night, Dec. 11, when a video of him and DeVito went viral on X, formerly Twitter, with even Barstool Sports Owner David Portnoy shouting him out. Though, in true Portnoy fashion, he has a small grudge with the former Salem High School alum. This motherfucker wrote a book about beating Swampscott my senior year.

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."

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.

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.

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