One bite everybody knows the rules. 

Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy dropped by TinyBrickOven in Baltimore, Maryland, to try pizza made by ‘Will,’ who was overjoyed that Portnoy showed up to his establishment. It was also bittersweet: the pizzeria was slated to shut down at the end of the year. Will explained that his local representatives refused to give him a liquor license but gladly handed them to his competitors which led to his decision to close his business. 

Portnoy tried the pizza, gave it a solid 7.9 rating, and said there’s no way TinyBrickOven should close. The pizza was a reheat with a solid undercarriage. Will was asked how much was needed to keep his place afloat for a year. At first, he didn’t know, but Portnoy pressed him, making sure his point hit home: he’s a rich guy willing to dole out whatever it takes to save his pizzeria.  

Will said around $60,000, which Dave gladly agreed to pay to save the location.  

Merry Christmas.
