'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. 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 Surprises Struggling PA Restaurateurs In Emotional FaceTime Call
The last thing that Bill or Jamie Weber expected on New Year's Day was a call with good news. No less, one from Dave Portnoy, the founder of widely popular sports and pop culture blog Barstool Sports. The Webers have been running their family's business, Flanigan's Boathouse in Conshohocken, for 31 years but -- like many restaurants -- struggled to stay afloat amid the COVID-19 pandemic. After the restaurant lost an estimated $500,000 since the onset of the pandemic, the Webers and their five daughters submitted an application and 30-second video to Barstool Sports. They pleaded with Po…

Barstool CEO Portnoy Wowed By Pizza From Lido Restaurant In Hackensack
Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy made himself clear: He loves bar pizza. And Hackensack's Lido Restaurant gave him just that. The sports internet mogul stopped by the ever-popular Main Street joint this week for another installment of his "One Bite" pizza review series. "I love it in there," said Portnoy, standing outside of the old-time restaurant. "It's straight out of the 1930s. You've got the old people sitting around, bar-style. I hope it's going to be bar pizza... it has to be, right?." Lido opened in 1956. The restaurant briefly closed in 2018 for renovations, but reopened weeks la…
