‘LEAVE THE F*CKING PIZZERIAS ALONE!’ BARSTOOL’S DAVE PORTNOY RAGES AGAINST
PROPOSED NYC BRICK OVEN CRACKDOWN

Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy, known by many for his daily reviews of
pizza parlors across the country, couldn’t contain his anger over newly proposed
regulation on pizza ovens in New York City.

According to ABC 7 NY, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection has
drafted new rules when it comes to coal and wood-fired ovens used in pizza
restaurants. The rule would force places using the ovens to cut their carbon
emissions by up to 75%. It would require places to install emission-control
devices.

Portnoy posted a video to Twitter to express his frustration over the newly
proposed rule.

“Apparently in New York City, some fucking little liberal arts, Ivy League, pink
haired, crazy liberal, who’s never worked one day in the real world, is on an
environmental commission. And they woke up from their little nappy poo, wherever
that may be, and they’re like, ‘I figured out how to save the world today,'”
Portnoy said.

“‘We have to get rid of coal oven pizzerias in New York City. We gotta stop the
emissions,’ I guess is pollution. Blah, blah, blah. You know what pizzerias use
coal ovens — all the best,” Portnoy added.

Portnoy elaborated on the bigger problems plaguing NYC streets.

“Do you know what’s going on in New York? You got rats, you got trash in the
city. You got fucking cars, planes, private planes. You got people getting
slashed on the subway,” Portnoy ranted. “You got flash mobs robbing stores, and
you are coming for coal oven pizzerias. You think shutting down like 10 to 15
pizza places is gonna make a fucking difference? They’ve been there for 100
fucking years now. This ain’t gonna happen.”



Portnoy said he doubted if the initiative would even get passed but said, “It
just shows you how fucking stupid some politicians are.”

He also threatened to go after anyone who targeted his favorite pizza joint,
John’s of Bleecker Street.

“I will come for their throat and I will never let go till I squeeze the life
out of them,” Portnoy said. “Leave the fucking pizzerias alone…That’s fucking
the guts of the city. You come for them, I’m coming for your throat. That’s a
promise.”
