Dave Portnoy visited Tampa pizza shops. See every Florida ranking in ‘One Bite Review’

One bite! Everyone knows the rules.

Barstool CEO Dave Portnoy took his popular pizza reviewing series to Florida this past week, stopping at 12 hotspots across the southern end of the state.

From Sarasota to Boca Raton, “El Presidente” chomped on several cheese pizzas for his social media accounts. The chosen pizza joints celebrated the spontaneous reviews from the media figure, reposting his reviews to their own accounts and sharing their experiences with him.

What is Portnoy’s ‘One Bite Review’ series for Barstool?

Portnoy’s “One Bite Review” is a video series where he travels across the country (sometimes the world) and buys a large cheese pizza, giving “one bite” pizza reviews for millions of followers.

“One bite, everybody knows the rules,” he says at the top of every review in which he rates every pizzeria out of 10 possible points. The channel has amassed more than 1 million subscribers since its debut in 2016, earning a cult fanbase.

In an interview Benzinga founder and CEO Jason Raznick, Portnoy explained what motivated him to review thousands of pizza joints. He shared it traced back to a debate he had with a coworker “Big Cat” Dan Katz. The two argued if they can only eat one food item for the rest of their lives, what would it be.

Portnoy argued pizza is the far superior option and decided to put his money where his mouth is by eating only pizza for one month.

“Since I was doing it, I (figured) I’ll take a bite and rate it — and it just kind of caught on,” he said.
