Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports just saved a veteran-owned pizza place in Baltimore. This man is a hero. I would really like to shake Portnoy’s hand someday.
Townhall has the story:
Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy dropped by TinyBrickOven in Baltimore, Maryland, to try pizza made by ‘Will,’ who was overjoyed that Portnoy showed up to his establishment. It was also bittersweet: the pizzeria was slated to shut down at the end of the year. Will explained that his local representatives refused to give him a liquor license but gladly handed them to his competitors which led to his decision to close his business.Portnoy tried the pizza, gave it a solid 7.9 rating, and said there’s no way TinyBrickOven should close. The pizza was a reheat with a solid undercarriage. Will was asked how much was needed to keep his place afloat for a year. At first, he didn’t know, but Portnoy pressed him, making sure his point hit home: he’s a rich guy willing to dole out whatever it takes to save his pizzeria.Will said around $60,000, which Dave gladly agreed to pay to save the location.
