He built a media empire that centers around sports, but has a generally douchey frat bro energy to it. He’s made a number of comments over the years ranging from victim blaming rape victims, to generally sexist shit, some anti-union threats, and some other questionable ideas about what counts as comedy (you can search for all of these on your own, you have Google). He’s also generally pretty abrasive as a personality and comes off as a general asshole. The pizza thing is something he does on the side, and although he can help bolster some businesses with his reviews, he can also tank a business by reducing them to one bad pizza (that he may have made taste worse by picking it up so damn late).
Like, I can’t deny he’s been successful and filled a market gap in frat bro sports based content, but the guy is generally a dick.
Seen a vid recently on this very app where he got mad at the owner of a pizza place he reviewed, owner didn't know who he was and asked him to not record on his property, so he gave him a 3/10
As a Jewish person who has recently given up practicing, and left the community, most of the gripes people have with him previously voiced in said thread, were almost my entire interaction within my community. I’m not great with words, could I have worded it better yea do I know how, not really. I’ll delete the comment, but I didn’t mean mean to be antisemitic while calling my people out on their bs.
Eww, that guy is a douche.
man fuck that guy. looks good though
One bite is the worst rule I’v ever seen. I’d eat that pie myself. Looks great.
Fuck Portnoy.
For real, that dude is insufferable, idk why people are on his dck all the time
I know him strictly as the pizza guy. Is there a quick el15 why you say that? Not the first time ive seen / read this

Portnoy is a Boston guy but even if he wasn’t I don’t know why you’re just dropping some casual antisemitism in a thread about pizza.

He once spent time talking about Tom Brady's child's penis.
Here’s ample and well-sourced documentation, if you need it: https://www.richardeaglespoon.com/blog/portnoy
Portnoy is a dick, but he has good taste in pizza. Or at least when he's not overreacting to perceived slights.

Glad everyone is collectively hating on portnoy, cause fuck that guy
Quoting that Chad isn't a good look.

Pepperoni and fresh jalapeños - the connoisseur's choice
Winner, a personal take on tavern!
Fuck Dave
Only thing missing is pineapple and red pepper flakes

One bite is the dumbest “rule” ever and that dude is an asshole so let’s not perpetuate it ok?
