Such a heartwarming video, loved seeing all these passionate pizza makers in one place. Like a family reunion, all of these business owners deserve nothing but success. Can't wait to go next year.
One of the best ideas ever. You could take this nationwide and it would be huge. Most people will never be able to make it to any of these places without it
History made, yet again - wish i was there when that dude super-confidently said our pizza is "exact" - ive never trusted any single word more, that man meant it - respect
“We are only as good as our last pizza”…. That’s the key. Good on that guy. You can lose the crown at any time, the fact that he realizes and is making the changes….. he gets the ralphy stamp of approval
This is epic, many of these hard working small busiesses survived the lockdowns thanks to Dave. You can tell the interactions are genuine af. Really nice to see it all come together like this.
This is TREMENDOUS. I’ve had 5 of the shops attending and all are worthy. Close to Philly so Angelo’s is my #1. But can I say that Al Santillo is the REAL DEAL and him showing up to do this says A LOT about what Dave (and us/we) did for small business during COVID particularly. The world needs more of this.❤
@@WarrenPuffet I flew into LGA that day and drove up to New Haven on Pres' recommendation. He announced the festival a couple days after booking confirmations went through. Was standing in line at Sally's in New Haven for hours in the rain amongst a bunch of Yale douchebags with umbrellas. You go to Yale smartypants?
Growing up in Tampa, this is honestly a dream experience for good mom and pop pizza. I really hope this happens again. I'll be there 🤘 Love El Pres and Barstool. Barstool Fund is amazing and Ill never forget watching the videos when businesses were really struggling.
It’s a shame Tampa has garbage pizza - I didn’t grow up here bit have been for the last 7 years and cannot find a decent pie. I have to resort to Anthony’s coal fire pizza. It’s not bad, but it’s not that great either
@@btebo77 I agree with you on Anthonys Coal Fired. Im in Lithia area and thats the best that I know of. I say "decent" compared to this event HAHA. We have a couple mom and pop places but its all football pizza.
It's no secret Dave is a wrestling fan. And it just dawned on me that he plays a perfect heel. He never hesitates to chirp the crowd and everyone eats it right up.
Nobodies perfect. We all have flaws, and being a “good person” is subjective. We all have some kind of skeleton in our closet, or a shirt that’s ten sizes too small.
Seeing Dave truly care for the people around him and who worked/work for him is refreshing. In todays world most owners/upper mgmt don't care about the people outside of their production. He wants to see them all succeed.
Even in the rain, this looks like kick-ass fun(!!!) 🙂. HUGE 'Thanks' to Dave, ALL the restauranteurs, and ALL the people who sprung for tix, travel, and accomodations to make this Pizza Celebration a reality!! What A Blast(!!!) 🙂.
Dave your a true definition of a man’s man, respectable , honest, and just a good person in general, I hate the fact the media wants to make you look so bad , if people only knew what you really do for small businesses, keep going brother !
Never thought I'd relate so much to a "bro" sports network CEO. I'm a dude who doesn't even watch sports, really. Thanks for bringing some positivity and fun into the world, man. Pizza forever!
This reminds me of when in the Grinch, The Who’s or whatever they’re called were shoving their baked goods in his face 😂 Dave is the grinch but with pizza
Much love to Dave from a fellow Dave from Naperville. Give Miss Peaches some belly rubs for me...I'm missing my pup I rescued just lost him to Cancer. He put up a good fight though.
You can tell he is the real deal. He remembered every pizza franchise and people involved with every store. God bless. Dave. You should get into politics. I would vote for you for president. Not kidding. 👍
GREAT JOB PREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully youll do it again next year & I'll be there. I couldn't cancel my travel plans for that weekend. My idea of a great day!!
that call to the post - was great. you took it to her- she had no answers . pres - looks like a super' ahbeetz' event. - poppin in - from New Haven . slice up !! ~ JDS/CT
This is awesome, seeing all the small family businesses that have benefitted from Dave's reviews and their hard work. I gotta go to the next pizzafest. FUCK DRAGON PIZZA everyone knows the rules.
Watching the actual Pizza Places thank Dave let's you know what a good guy he actually is.
How?
It's on camera and they are expected to do so.
@@cjr1881By the amount of small businesses he helped save during Covid.
@@cjr1881 Bitter? mom cut video games?
@@cjr1881four shirt to small guy what's good you failure
Sucks it rained. But all those people and pizza guys still showing up shows how great Dave really is
Seeing the Santillo’s guy there brought a smile to my face. One of my favorite pizza reviews.

Yep, regional pizza festivals!
@@boombam2839yesss! With road crews, I'd join....
Dave Portnoy's a legend.
Truly
hes a snowflake that lets nobodies get in his head. Only traction he ever got was creating drama

So Cool to see them all come together!!! Great Job El Prez!!!
Absolutely legendary.
I will plan my vacation next year around this weekend.
Dave going around thanking everyone. THANK YOU Dave you’re awesome

Exactly. If ya know Santillos, then ya know. If ya don't, ya don't.
I loved seeing Al there, such a character!
Love it Dave. Love seeing everyone come together during these hard times, exactly what America needs right now.
Al Santillo had a real shine to his personality this time around. He seemed really happy. That was nice to see.
What a great atmosphere!! No weather, no haters can ruin family friendly fun! ;)
No weather? It was raining all week.
@@MidiPunkthey meant no weather or haters could ruin family friendly fun
@@MidiPunkreading comprehension isn’t your strong suit.

Dave has done more for Small Business' and Pizza than anyone ever.... Great Job Prez....
He really is. Its amazing this has turned into such a cool thing,
Definitely more than the Washington Post
To put on an event like this and bring in 50+ ovens blows my mind, I can't put on a kids birthday party without it being a disaster 😂
Growing up in Tampa, this is honestly a dream experience for good mom and pop pizza. I really hope this happens again. I'll be there 🤘
Love El Pres and Barstool. Barstool Fund is amazing and Ill never forget watching the videos when businesses were really struggling.

@@btebo77 lol we all know the same places that are "decent." Gotta love it.
@@TSP3NC3 what is your fave in hillsborough or pinellas?
@@btebo77 I agree with you on Anthonys Coal Fired. Im in Lithia area and thats the best that I know of. I say "decent" compared to this event HAHA. We have a couple mom and pop places but its all football pizza.
@@btebo77try Nona Slice House in Saftey Harbor. Best I’ve found in the Bay Area.
Absolutely, love it! I hope to visit all these pizza owners! An Angel in disguise.
The community thats grown from simple pizza reviews is amazing. Really positive and helping small businesses its fantastic.
It's no secret Dave is a wrestling fan. And it just dawned on me that he plays a perfect heel. He never hesitates to chirp the crowd and everyone eats it right up.
I thought the same thing.
I've always said if Dave was his age he is now in the 80s, he would've made a great WWE manager like the Brain.
dragon pizza guy is watching this and punching thin air rn
What an awesome experience, love the people and the food looks amazing. Congrats on all the success Dave
Man this looks like such a good time, I wish I could have gone
Same!
I always wanted to see Dave interact with Mark the owner of Lucali, this is cool!
That Sally’s member card is legit! So baller. Congrats Portnoy.
6:40 “We are Ready to Go in Florida!” 💪🏻😂👍🏻 His Enthusiasm is Epic.
Dave meets thousands of people during the reviews. The fact that he can remember the names of the people is insane to me.
These old school dudes are the best lol
I think Dave is actually a good person lol I wasn't 100% sure for a while there.
He is an asshole with good intentions and good heart. It’s hard for a lot of people to understand
Nobodies perfect. We all have flaws, and being a “good person” is subjective. We all have some kind of skeleton in our closet, or a shirt that’s ten sizes too small.
Don’t forget 80% of the time he’s in character
Other then voting for biden he seems like a great dude
@@jwill294great way to explain him
Seeing Dave truly care for the people around him and who worked/work for him is refreshing. In todays world most owners/upper mgmt don't care about the people outside of their production. He wants to see them all succeed.
Watching Dave actually talk to everyone like a genuine human is bountiful. You can see how much this means to all the restaurants and staff.
Even in the rain, this looks like kick-ass fun(!!!) 🙂. HUGE 'Thanks' to Dave, ALL the restauranteurs, and ALL the people who sprung for tix, travel, and accomodations to make this Pizza Celebration a reality!! What A Blast(!!!) 🙂.
What a dude! This was super cool to watch. I wish I was there.
Dave your a true definition of a man’s man, respectable , honest, and just a good person in general, I hate the fact the media wants to make you look so bad , if people only knew what you really do for small businesses, keep going brother !
Never thought I'd relate so much to a "bro" sports network CEO. I'm a dude who doesn't even watch sports, really. Thanks for bringing some positivity and fun into the world, man. Pizza forever!
I love you dude. There. It's been said. This intro was GOLD! Nothing makes me happier than watching you crush haters.
Good job Dave ! The logistical challenges alone deserves a round of applause.
im sorry...this is way beyond fkn cool....no way im missing this if theres another one..
Dragon Pizza didn't appreciate this
Dave is the pinnacle of cool
1000p can get behind supporting this! Love seeing Dave remeet the owners, so awesome!
This is amazing. What an event to celebrate family owned business!
Congrats on you're new house it's beautiful Dave
dragon pizza guy punching air rn
Pizza Fest needs to go on the road! One National Tour, everybody knows the rules.
Jesus. I cry over dumb shit all the time, but a pizza fest tears me up?
What a fun, heartwarming video
Couldn't agree more.
your shirt is 6 sizes too small
Please do this again. I gotta make it to the next one! What an event!
I was waiting for the crazy Greek Guy from Toronto to show up. Would have been great.
This reminds me of when in the Grinch, The Who’s or whatever they’re called were shoving their baked goods in his face 😂 Dave is the grinch but with pizza
This made my day, i had a smile throughout the video so much passion
What Dave did during COVID for small business, he's a hero. I can't imagine what it cost to throw this thing, but he's a real guy.
Dave's hoodie game is on point
It has now come full circle to where Dave is influenceing how pizza is being made.
this is amazing. everyone is so excited to be there, and love him so much
They all love Dave like family
Dave, a man of the people! Keep up the great work brotha
Much love to Dave from a fellow Dave from Naperville. Give Miss Peaches some belly rubs for me...I'm missing my pup I rescued just lost him to Cancer. He put up a good fight though.
this looks like fucking heaven
Please do this again. Couldn't make it this time, but would love to make the trip from WV.
Lol. That guy in the crowd yelled, “Fuck dragon pizza” haha
You can tell he is the real deal. He remembered every pizza franchise and people involved with every store. God bless. Dave. You should get into politics. I would vote for you for president. Not kidding. 👍
Omg that guy who said I just wanted to make sure the shirt wasn’t too tight 😂😂😂😂😂 what an OG 1:44
GREAT JOB PREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully youll do it again next year & I'll be there. I couldn't cancel my travel plans for that weekend. My idea of a great day!!

I really wanted to go but couldn't make it. I hope this happens again sometime while I'm still close.
I'm so pissed I missed it! If he does this again next year - I'm going no matter what! All positive vibes there - can't ask for more!
Incredible, What one man can do
AWESOME EVENT BY A AWESOME GUY!!!! CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR
Lets be honest here. The real hero and the guy running the show is clearly Al Santillo.
I thought there was no chance he would came🙃
Congratulations!!! It looks like a wonderful success story.
