Respectful Teens Steal The Show During Portnoy Pizza Review At Montclair Deli Respectful Teens Steal The Show During Portnoy Pizza Review At Montclair Deli
Respectful Teens Steal The Show During Portnoy Pizza Review At Montclair Deli Dave Portnoy walked into Belgiovine’s in Montclair expecting to review the pizza—but it was the kids inside who ended up making an impression. During his One Bite review, the Barstool Sports founder couldn’t help but notice how unfazed the young customers were by his presence. Unlike the usual chaos that follows a Portnoy visit, these kids didn’t jump out of their seats or beg for a selfie. They sat at their table, kept their cool, and let him do his thing. “There were some kids that back in my heyday would’ve been ejaculating if they saw me,” Portnoy joked. “But they were pretty calm and …

‘Tastes Exactly How That Sign Looks’: Portnoy Drops Another Passaic County Pizza Review 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. The Wayne Ale House & Pizza owner missed Dave Portnoy’s visit that afternoon and had no idea what the Barstool CEO thought of his pie.  “I didn’t know what happened or what was said, so I was nervous,” Corujo admitted. “I didn’t sleep.” The verdict finally came on Wednesday, Feb. 19: 7.6 (click here to watch the One Bite review). “It’s a good score,” Corujo said. “But I checked on the video—it was in the box for more than eight minutes. And that’s not good for a pizza.” Rob Corujo opened Wayne Ale House in 2023.…

NJ Sisters Built Their Pizzeria Around Grandmother's Spinach Pies — Then Dave Portnoy Walked In Call it fate, call it pizza magic, call it whatever you want—but when Dave Portnoy walked into Spinachio Pizza in North Haledon last week, co-owner Zana Kaloshi couldn’t believe it. For years, she had been trying to get the Barstool Sports CEO to come in. Then, last Thursday, Feb. 13, she was literally talking about it when it happened. "I was like, ‘How do I get Dave in here? It’s impossible!’” Kaloshi said. “Fifteen minutes later, he walked in. It was like we manifested him." Portnoy, whose One Bite pizza reviews can make or break a business, got his hands on Spinachio’s skinny pizza—a r…

'Wawa Has Disgusting Pizza:' Portnoy Pitches Ad Idea Outside Gas Station Following a series of mostly positive pizzeria reviews in Maryland, things took a turn for Dave Portnoy during a visit to Wawa in Anne Arundel County. "One Bite" was pretty much all the Barstool CEO needed before giving Wawa in Glen Burnie a 2.8 out of 10 while musing that he was once considered for an advertising campaign with the company (instead turned to cast members from the "Jersey Shore"). @djpaulyd Wawa Has Pizza 🍕 #wawapartner ♬ original sound - djpaulyd After having to wait until 4 p.m., when Wawa begins serving pizza, much to El Presidente's chagrin, Portnoy had a pitc…

Portnoy Gifts Fan Buffalo Chicken Slice During Review Of Jersey Shore Pizzeria Portnoy Gifts Fan Buffalo Chicken Slice During Review Of Jersey Shore Pizzeria
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.

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."

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,…
