Barstool’s Portnoy Hits Up Milford Pizzeria—Here’s Where He Took A Bite

MILFORD, CT — Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, swung through several Connecticut pizzerias recently, including Jimmy's Apizza in Milford.

Portnoy, known for his "one-bite" reviews, described the New Haven-area pizza scene as a "Dave Portnoy stronghold" along with Staten Island and "maybe Philly."

Portnoy scored Jimmy's an 8.1 out of 10.

"I just love this style of pizza," he said.

Jimmy's Apizza posted the following on Facebook after Portnoy's visit:

"We are so honored to have had Dave visit us here at Jimmy’s, but all the praise truly belongs to Jimmy — the man, the myth, the legend. Over 40 years in the business and he’s still got it, baby! We love you, Jim — the best boss and the greatest guy we know! We owe it all to you big guy!

"Family over everything. That’s what makes Jimmy’s special. Co-workers and customers that have become family. The birthday parties, the out of town visitors, the weekly regulars, we could go on and on! We are so lucky. And even luckier that we get to do this in Milford!!"

Jimmy's underwent renovations recently and reopened at the beginning of the year, according to the pizzeria's website. The restaurant has been family-owned and -operated since 2001.

Portnoy also recently hit up pizzerias in Thomaston, Shelton, and East Haven, according to Hearst Connecticut Media.

Last year, Portnoy reviewed Amato's Pizza & Pasta in Madison as well.
