Dave Portnoy Shuts Down Viral Fake Pizza Fight Video Rumors

When you hear Dave Portnoy’s name, you probably think of two things. Barstool Sports and pizza reviews. So when a video popped up claiming to show him getting slapped with a slice and thrown out of a pizza joint, people ate it up.

The clip spread like wildfire on X. Some random guy is arguing with an employee. He’s yelling, waving his hands around. Then comes the pizza slap. Next thing you know, he’s out the door. Someone said, “Hey, that’s Portnoy.” And the internet ran with it.

But here’s the thing. It wasn’t him. Not even close if you look twice. Dave didn’t waste time clearing it up either. He jumped online to shut it down but he also got a kick out of how fast it made him trend.

What Did Portnoy Say About The Video?

Dave fired back like only Dave can. He joked about being so famous that he’s basically turned into a ghost story. He said, “Momma there goes that man again!” and called out haters for being obsessed enough to tag him in nonsense.

He even laughed about Grok, X’s AI, getting it wrong. Fans were tagging Grok’s answer like it was gospel. “Even Grok says it’s you!” one guy wrote. Dave was trending at number two that night. He posted a screenshot just to rub it in.

Some folks didn’t care what he said. They stuck to their guns. “That’s definitely him, look at him denying it,” one person wrote. Another fan half-joked that they wished it was Dave because the pizza slap was too good.

Dave’s Past Pizza Trouble

This isn’t the first time Dave has had drama with a pizza spot. Back in 2018, he got tossed from Goodfellas Distillery in Lexington. He showed up with his camera crew and the staff wasn’t having it. They told him to pack it up and go.

Dave didn’t take it well. He gave them a zero in his “One Bite” review. That’s about the worst thing that can happen to a pizza shop with Barstool fans watching.

So when a video like this drops, it’s easy to believe it could be him. He’s loud. He’s not afraid to tick people off. But this time, the drama belongs to someone else. And Portnoy’s just enjoying the free headlines.
