Portnoy’s 9.2 Score Sends NYC Slice Joint Into Full Meltdown: 'You Ruined My Spot' Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has reviewed hundreds of slices — but when he walked out of Ceres Pizza in Manhattan this week, he looked stunned. “This is as good of a slice as you could have,” he said outside of the 164 Mott St. shop. “Just about the best single slice I’ve ever had.” And that wasn't even the official review yet. Portnoy gave the shop's cheese pie a 9.2 — one of the highest scores ever handed out in his One Bite series. “I can’t remember the last time I gave out a 9,” he said.

'Wawa Has Disgusting Pizza:' Portnoy Pitches Ad Idea Outside Gas Station 'Wawa Has Disgusting Pizza:' Portnoy Pitches Ad Idea Outside Gas Station
'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"). After having to wait until 4 p.m., when Wawa begins serving pizza, much to El Presidente's chagrin, Portnoy had a pitch of his own for a new ad. Dave reviews the popular Wawa which now has p…

'He Changed Our Lives:' How Portnoy Turned Things Around For Bucks Family After Worst Year Ever The last year of the Rosenthal family's lives has been their worst ever. The Dublin family had just purchased Peppino's Tomato Pies on West Butler Avenue in Chalfont in the summer of 2022, when they became victims of an egregious crime leaving them all — including the elementary school-aged children — traumatized. Then, 10 months later, their home was invaded in the middle of the night. Financially, they were barely scraping by. "It was the worst year of our lives," said Keeley Rosenthal, who runs Peppino's with her husband, Ed. "Trying to take care of our girls and their mental health, …

'Michael Jordan Of Pizza?' Portnoy's The Judge At Another Bucks County Pizzeria Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy has been in Bucks County taking bites out of pies this week. The latest stop on this leg of the One Bite tour is Russo's in New Hope. The restaurant, owned by a Trenton/Robbinsville area native, specializes in the tomato pie. What's Portnoy have to say? 7.5. The CEO's chief complaint was that the pie was too big, making it difficult to keep the crunch. But the Russo's t-shirt that reads, "The Michael Jordan of Pizza?" "That's a 10.9 t-shirt," Portnoy says. Russo's is located at 41 N Main St., in New Hope.

Barstool's Portnoy Deducts Points During Bucks County Pizza Review For 'Insulting' Marketing Let's get one thing straight: It's not New Haven-style pizza. At least that's what Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy said about HG Bucks Bagels in Warminster, where he stopped for a One Bite pizza review last week. The bagel shop markets itself as having the CT-style pies: "It's a weird scene in there," Portnoy said before biting into a slice, and then taking more than one. "It's good pizza but don't insult me and don't insult New Haven," Portnoy said. "Having said all that, it's pretty good." Portnoy's rating at HG Bucks? 7.7 — with a .2 deduction for saying it's a New Haven-style pizza w…

'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."
