Dave Portnoy was targeted by an unruly spectator who yelled an antisemitic slur at him before he bit into a pizza in Toronto.
Portnoy visited Toronto for a Bitcoin conference and took the opportunity to do a pizza review for his very popular ‘One Bite’ sampling. He got one from Terrazza on Harbord Street and was about to take a bite when someone yelled “F**k the Jews!”
“Here we go…” the Barstool Sports owner said before tearing into some youths who were laughing in the background.
“What are you guys f**king laughing about?” he asked. “What is that Toronto hospitality there?”
That response from Portnoy left everyone around him speechless.
Portnoy, whose online pizza reviews and sports gambling activity have made him pretty famous, did not let the slur stop him and went on to give Terrazza a 7.4 score.

Toronto the Good used to be known for its hospitality.
Now this is what visitors like @stoolpresidente have to look forward to when they come to support local small businesses. pic.twitter.com/3EY2ZtrmGK

Dave Portnoy had a meltdown just last month after an antisemitic sign bearing the same slur was displayed at his Barstool Sports Bar in Philadelphia.
“You think I’m going to put up with this s**t at my bar?” Portnoy, who is Jewish, said. “I’m going to make it my mission to put you in lights.”
The waitresses who obliged a request for the sign were fired immediately, while one of the college students who asked for it to be made was suspended by Temple University and is facing expulsion.
Portnoy offered to send both of them to tour a Nazi concentration camp but retracted it after one of them denied responsibility.
“The uptick in antisemitism has been noticeable,” he later told NBC.
