Dave Portnoy, of Barstool Sports fame, is back in the region to review pizza places

The racing at Saratoga Race Course brings many visitors to our region, but one is more notable than others. 

Dave Portnoy, who heads up Barstool Sports and will be a regular contributor to the upcoming Big Noon Kickoff pregame show on FOX, also runs a YouTube where he reviews pizza places across the country, called OneBite Pizza Reviews, which like the name suggests, asks that he only takes one bite to determine how good a pizza place is. 

In previous trips to the region for the Saratoga Race Course meet, Portnoy has visited pizza places in the Capital Region and in the Saratoga Springs area, but for 2025, he decided to a take a trip north to the Glens Falls area. 

He first visited Stumpy's Pizza, located on Broadway in Fort Edward.   Although, he mispronounced the town, commonly referring to it as "Fort Edwards".  But he did enjoy the pizza at Stumpy's, offering it a 7.4 score out of a possible 10. 

Then he came west, into Glens Falls, where he visited Pizza Jerks and their Southwestern Avenue location on the west side of the city.  Portnoy, however, did fall into a similar trap non-locals fall into .. he called it "Glen Falls".

No idea how many local pizza places Dave Portnoy plans to visit during his time watching the ponies at Saratoga Race Course, but the more the better .. as we know there are a bunch of great pizza places among the Tri-County area. 

But let's hope Portnoy remembers ... there's an "S" in Glens, and no "S" in Fort Edward.
