'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…

West Chester Pizzerias Getting Great Reviews From Barstool's Portnoy
If you ask Barstool Sports CEO and noted foodie Dave Portnoy, the pizza in West Chester lives up to the hype. The sports media mogul stopped by three pizza joints in Chester County this week for his One Bite Pizza Review series and seemed pleased with all three pies he sampled The first stop on the tour was Pizza West Chester at 136 E Market St., where customers have to actually show up to receive their pie — there's no delivery. The locals made sure the wait was worth Portnoy's while, though, dialing up former Eagle and Super Bowl LII champ Brent Celek and giving Portnoy a chance to ch…

'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."

: 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…
