Portnoy's Pizza Fest Triumphs Despite Hit Pieces and Opposition
Despite facing criticism from the Washington Post and unfavorable weather conditions, Dave Portnoy's "One Bite" pizza festival was a success, with 5,000 attendees and positive vibes. Portnoy responded to the Post's "hit piece" by highlighting their alleged lack of interest in the truth and their attempt to create negative headlines. He also called out food writer J. Kenji López-Alt for trying to discourage participation in the festival. Despite the controversy, no sponsors or pizza places dropped out, leading to Portnoy expressing gratitude towards them.
