A Federal Hill pizza shop was on the verge of closing until they were saved by “one bite.”
Owner of TinyBrickOven William Fagg has always hoped he’d see Barstool founder David Portnoy in his small shop. It became reality just in the nick of time.
“I feel like it is a Christmas miracle,” Fagg said. “Four years ago we actually put Dave Portnoy’s name on the wall over there… we knew that he was one of the biggest pizza influencers back then. We’d tagged him many, many times and had sort of given up.”
Portnoy gave the shop’s slice a 7.9 out of 10 rating, which is good by “One Bite Pizza Reviews” standards, despite it needing to be re-heated and Portnoy refusing that another one be made due to a time crunch.
“Thin, New York kind of style. I really like it,” Portnoy said in his review that dropped Monday night. “There’s no way this place should be going out of business. None!”
“I never could have anticipated something like this happening. We had always hoped he would come and it’s amazing. It really is amazing,” Fagg said.
