Portnoy Effect: NJ Pizzeria Sells Out After Barstool Pizza Review Portnoy Effect: NJ Pizzeria Sells Out After Barstool Pizza Review
Portnoy Effect: NJ Pizzeria Sells Out After Barstool Pizza Review A South Toms River pizzeria is feeling the power of the Portnoy effect after Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy's review. Spoiler alert: It was a good one. Portnoy stopped by Paci'Dough’s and was immediately impressed.

Despite battling a cold, the pizza connoisseur powered through the review, calling the sauce "on the sweeter side," and the pie with a bit of a soupy consistency—though it didn’t taste soupy, he clarified. "My ears are still plugged from the plane, my throat hurts, my ey…

‘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…

'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 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 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,…
