Dave Portnoy couldn’t avoid taking a shot at the infamous Dragon Pizza during his One Bite Pizza Festival in Brooklyn on Saturday.
A Portnoy fan appeared to bring a custom-made shirt of his wild altercation with the Massachusetts pizza store owner, Charlie Redd.
The Barstool Sports founder appeared to be delighted to put it on.
“I’m gonna’ f–kin’ throw this on right now,” Portnoy said. “This is an all-time shirt. Look at this f–kin’ piece of s–t Dragon Pizza guy.”

He clearly didn’t enjoy the pie, giving it a 6.4 rating before the pizzeria owner came outside to confront him.
“Enjoy your pizza as any customer, but I don’t appreciate what you do, coming in and judging a business in one bite,” Redd said.
After Portnoy talked of his help for small businesses, the owner replied, “I don’t see it that way.”
Redd returned to the store before reemerging a few moments later and telling Portnoy to stop standing outside his business.
Dave Portnoy got into screaming match with the owner of Dragon Pizza while reviewing the small business in Somerville, Mass. in August 2023. Dave Portnoy/X “Let me be clear, f–k you,” Portnoy shot back, then calling the owner a “motherf–ker” and an “a–hole.”
Redd threatened to call the police, and when Portnoy asked why, he replied, “for being a f–king bitch.”
Portnoy’s One Bite Pizza Festival was borne out of the popular pizza reviews that he posts on social media.
The festival was 95% sold out, according to its website.
General admission all-inclusive tickets were still available ahead of the festival for $219.99, and VIP tickets were going for $699.99 for the event that was held at Maimonides Park, home of the Mets’ High-A affiliate.
