Dave Portnoy became a familiar face here in Maine last summer, primarily through his pizza reviews in our state's largest city.

People across the country religiously follow Dave Portnoy’s pizza reviews.

But first, who is Dave Portnoy? For those unfamiliar, he's the founder of Barstool Sports, a sports and pop culture blog founded in Milton, Massachusetts.

But why does Dave Portnoy’s opinion on pizza matter?

If you’re not aware, every weekday, Barstool Sports uploads a pizza review hosted by Dave Portnoy on their One Bite Pizza Review YouTube channel, which has over 1.3 million subscribers. The mantra is, "One bite, everybody knows the rules."

That being said, yes, Dave has had a lot of pizza, and generally, his reviews can make or break a pizza shop.

And if the sheer number of pizzas Dave has eaten isn’t enough to make him and his word trustworthy, he’s also a Boston sports fan, particularly a Celtics superfan—so of course, he has good taste.

Dave Portnoy has visited several pizzerias in Maine, one of which will be featured at Dave Portnoy’s yearly pizza festival.

Monte’s Fine Foods in Portland will be showcased at Dave Portnoy’s One Bite Pizza Festival on Saturday, September 14th, 2024, at Randall’s Island Park in New York.

The festival is being promoted as the "greatest gathering of pizzerias ever," offering all-you-can-eat pizza from over 35 of Dave’s highest-rated pizza parlors in America, including one from Maine.

Dave previously reviewed Monte’s Fine Foods, giving it an impressive 8.4 out of 10.
