Dave Portnoy Breaks His Golden Rule In Boston Pizza Review Meltdown: 'Am I Getting Soft?'
It's one bite. Everybody knows the rules. But Dave Portnoy broke it in his latest "One Bite Pizza Review" after fearing that a Boston pizzeria didn't get a fair chance because of a line cutter and excessive "box time." It was such a break from form that the Barstool Sports' El Presidente began to question if he'd gotten "too soft" and sparked an existential crashout on the sidewalk. This all began when Portnoy reviewed Boston's Pizzeria Rustico, located near the TD Garden. That prime location had him excited for a solid slice. But the restaurant's cramped kitchen and a man cutti…

Portnoy Has Tough Words For Foxborough Pizzeria Owner, Still Gives Pie Good Marks
Barstool Sport CEO and pizza aficionado Dave Portnoy knows how he likes his pies: thin crust, no flop, with a little char on the bottom — no muss, no fuss. So it was a bit of a surprise when he stopped in at Foxborough's Laced Pizza & Pub, which is named for the crispy edge of a bar pie, but didn't get that satisfying crunch he believed he was promised. But it wasn't bad news for the 94 Washington St. pizzeria and pub. Portnoy gave Laced a 7.5 out of 10, a respectable score. He said it was one of the better bar pies in the Foxborough area — something the South Shore…

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. Ceres was launched by chefs Jake Serebnick and Julian Geldmacher, both formerly of Eleven…

Portnoy Gives Rare Rating During Surprise Visit To Vinnie's Mootz In Lyndhurst
A man who sells insurance by day and slings pizzas by night is an unlikely story — but not as unlikely as what happened next. Dave Portnoy showed up at Vinnie’s Mootz in Lyndhurst and gave the square pie a higher score than the round. If you're new here, that's unheard of. “This is great,” Portnoy said, rating the square pie a 7.9 — one of his highest scores for that style. “I may prefer this over the circle,” he said in the viral review. Vinnie, who still works full-time in insurance, opened the Ridge Road pizzeria two years ago. He told Portnoy: “I like to feed people. I think tha…

Clifton Pizza Shop’s Bold Video Lures Dave Portnoy: Here’s What He Scored It
Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports and pizza review king, made a surprise visit to Lucci’s Pizza in Clifton this week after the shop posted a bold Instagram video begging him to come. "Hey Dave, Lucci's in Clifton is waiting for you," reads a captioned video of someone cutting a pie at the Route 3 shop. Just more than a year old, Lucci's certainly caught Portnoy’s attention with the plea — and in his latest trip to Jersey, he showed up. “The crust is great... puffy, light and airy,” Portnoy said in the video. “I want to say football pizza but it’s a little higher end.” Portnoy gave …
