'Dave Portnoy Takes Dog for Walk Following Pizza Spat Video'

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy engaged in a furious confrontation with the owner of a Massachusetts pizza shop.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, known for his controversial pizza reviews, was spotted in the Hamptons with his dog, Brody, just a day after a heated confrontation with the owner of a Massachusetts pizza shop. Portnoy, wearing pink sweatpants, a white t-shirt, and a navy baseball cap, took a leisurely stroll near his home. The 46-year-old entrepreneur recently repurchased Barstool Sports for $1 after selling it for $550 million in February. He also owns a $10 million home near Montauk, a $14 million Miami home, and a $2 million Nantucket estate.

Portnoy has gained fame over the past decade for his pizza reviews, which he shares online. In a recent video, he engaged in a fiery argument with the owner of Dragon Pizza in Somerville, Massachusetts. The exchange started off politely but quickly escalated into a profanity-laden dispute. The owner expressed his displeasure with Portnoy's practice of judging businesses based on a single bite. Portnoy responded with multiple expletives and insults, asserting his right to review the pizza publicly. The argument ended with Portnoy threatening to call the police on the owner.

Portnoy rated the pizza slice a 6.4 out of ten in his review, criticizing it as a "floppy mess." He also dubbed the restaurant owner the "worst pizza shop owner in the history of reviews." This confrontation comes shortly after Portnoy repurchased Barstool Sports for $1, following a deal that caused the company that bought it, PENN, to lose $850 million. PENN's ownership of Barstool Sports has faced scrutiny due to controversial incidents involving its employees. Despite the challenges, Portnoy remains committed to creating great content and making people laugh. He has rehired former host Ben Mintz, who was previously fired by PENN for reading rap lyrics containing racial slurs.

Portnoy's goal is to maintain Barstool Sports as a place where employees are happy and focused on producing high-quality content. He has no plans to take the company public again, as he has already achieved financial success beyond his wildest dreams. Portnoy's passion lies in creating entertaining content that brings joy to people's lives. As for the pizza shop owner, Dragon Pizza, there has been no comment from them regarding the confrontation.
