David Portnoy is an American blogger and founder of the sports and popular culture blog Barstool Sports. One Bite with Davey Pageviews is an internet show that Portnoy created, which consists of him reviewing pizza restaurants around the world ranking them for 0 to 10.
In town for the NCAA basketball he asked on Twitter for pizza recommendations in Dayton to do his One Bite reviews. His first visit was to the the Marion’s Piazza on Shroyer.
“This is Midwest pizza,” said Portnoy after tasting a corner piece. “The thin, like crispy — which I’m starting to grow to appreciate if you do it right.”
He continued on, trying another piece and commenting on the little grease and sizes of the slices. “I actually like this,” he said. “I’m gonna score this higher than people think. I’ll go 7.4.”
Next he went on to visit Old Scratch Pizza‘s downtown location. He shares that this was the most recommended spot from his online survey. Not normally a fan of Neapolitan pizza, but owner Eric Soller points out that their pizza is “Midwestern Neapolitan.” He rated this cheese pizza a 7.7 and said “Old Scratch be proud of yourself.”
He even posed for photo’s with the Old Scratch crew:
Jo, GM, Eric the owner, Dave Portnoy and Erin, Director of Operations.
His parting comment, “Dayton, I’ve gone to two places and I would go back to both happily.” To see more of his One Bite Review, check him out on YouTube.
