Pizza Aficionado Portnoy Tries 60-Year-Old East Boston Pizzeria To Avoid Restraining Order

Pizza Guru Portnoy Nearly Misses Out On Stoughton Staple
In his quest to "try them all until we've tried them all," Dave Portnoy recently reviewed a Stoughton staple set to close after nearly 70 years in business. Portnoy visited Denneno's Pizza at 545 Pearl Street earlier this month. The beloved pizza restaurant will close its doors on Dec. 31, ending a 68-year run. But he almost left empty-handed if not for the kindness of a Canton woman who gave him one of her pies so he could try it for himself. Dave Portnoy goes to Denneno's Pizza, a 68-year-old Stoughton pizzeria, before its doors forever on December 31st, and meets the nic…

Pizza Guru Portnoy Gets Nostalgic Reviewing Chelsea Pizzeria
Dave Portnoy says he has a discerning eye for pizza, but when it came to a Chelsea pizzeria, he considered bending the rules because it reminded him of his childhood.

'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.

'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…
