Randall’s Island turned into pizza heaven when more than 35 pizzerias nationwide participated in Dave’s Portnoy One Bite Pizza Festival on Sept.14.
Every pizza place had something to offer beyond the traditional cheese pie, Sicilian style, or pepperoni slices: history and tradition. “We get our whole community together, all in one place they have a good time,” he said. “And it’s an important thing because you are not coming to one of these unless you really give a sh#@.”
“It’s the second year we’ve been here. We know how it runs; we’re pumping pizza out fast.” Matthew Rossa, Angeloni’s pizza manager, said. “People have come around twice or three times saying we’re the best pizza, so we are excited to be here again.” Festivals like One Bite Pizza help to create community among pizza businesses and even rebuild them. Portnoy’s proceeds from the event were donated to rebuild Santillo’s pizzeria in Elizabeth, NJ, after it burned last year.Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, visited the pizzerias as he tried various styles and appeared twice on stage to thank people for coming over. He also talked about further plans to extend the festival to other cities.
