Hot Slice, Hot Mic: Dave Portnoy Won’t Dish On Fitness Regimen After Glens Falls Pizza Review Dave Portnoy’s latest New York pizza review was heavy on the flavor but light on the waistline wisdom. The Barstool Sports founder, 48, found himself at Warren County’s Pizza Jerks in Glens Falls for his latest “One Bite” review. It started with Portnoy flipping open the box. “That looks pretty good.

Dave Portnoy Had One Complaint After Visiting This Capital Region Pizzeria Dave Portnoy stopped by a Washington County pizzeria during his latest trip — and left with plenty of praise, plus one gripe he just couldn’t ignore. The Barstool Sports founder, 48, kicked off his Saratoga trip with a stop at local favorite Stumpy’s Pizza in Fort Edward to dish out one of his signature “One Bite” pizza reviews. It was Portnoy’s first visit to the pizzeria, and the camera-on-camera action started before he even took a bite. While lifting his first slice, he noted, “Good crisp, firm, no-flop right there,” before being momentarily distracted by a shirtless passerby waving fro…
