Watching the actual Pizza Places thank Dave let's you know what a good guy he actually is.

[@cjr1881]

How?

[@cjr1881]

It's on camera and they are expected to do so.

[@TommyGetTheBag]

​@@cjr1881By the amount of small businesses he helped save during Covid.

[@NRC613]

​@@cjr1881four shirt to small guy what's good you failure

[@meeraaudio]

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

[@boombam2839]

Yep, regional pizza festivals!

[@Arianna-sl2hv]

​@@boombam2839yesss! With road crews, I'd join....

[@Ralphman21]

“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

[@marleyanalytics]

Dave Portnoy's a legend.

[@Arianna-sl2hv]

Truly

[@Empyre210]

hes a snowflake that lets nobodies get in his head. Only traction he ever got was creating drama

[@cbear2111]

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

[@brendancarvel418]

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.

[@eliteviktor3]

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.

[@bconn8452]

So Cool to see them all come together!!! Great Job El Prez!!!

[@toddzilla13]

Sucks it rained. But all those people and pizza guys still showing up shows how great Dave really is

[@necreations1024]

Dave going around thanking everyone. THANK YOU Dave you’re awesome

[@HeavyHitta_83]

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 😂

[@gaborkollar4828]

What a great atmosphere!! No weather, no haters can ruin family friendly fun! ;)

[@MidiPunk]

No weather? It was raining all week.

[@amamsurri5454]

​@@MidiPunkthey meant no weather or haters could ruin family friendly fun

[@WarrenPuffet]

@@MidiPunkreading comprehension isn’t your strong suit.

[@MidiPunk]

@@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?

[@jabronibeats5982]

Love it Dave. Love seeing everyone come together during these hard times, exactly what America needs right now.

[@da60586]

Dave meets thousands of people during the reviews. The fact that he can remember the names of the people is insane to me.

[@jimmy2thymes916]

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.

[@daniellilly7564]

I thought the same thing.

[@SouthernSkeptic]

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.

[@devanman7920]

The community thats grown from simple pizza reviews is amazing. Really positive and helping small businesses its fantastic.

[@jamdivi]

Man this looks like such a good time, I wish I could have gone

[@soowoo2246]

Same!

[@patrickbaird8962]

I think Dave is actually a good person lol I wasn't 100% sure for a while there.

[@jwill294]

He is an asshole with good intentions and good heart. It’s hard for a lot of people to understand

[@Jeff-tt7wj]

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.

[@ThaMediator]

Don’t forget 80% of the time he’s in character

[@fucgoogle4559]

Other then voting for biden he seems like a great dude

[@jjdoesit2399]

​@@jwill294great way to explain him

[@amrcnngrmny]

These old school dudes are the best lol

[@Jeffy-331]

I always wanted to see Dave interact with Mark the owner of Lucali, this is cool!

[@williampritts9416]

Dave has done more for Small Business' and Pizza than anyone ever.... Great Job Prez....

[@devanman7920]

He really is. Its amazing this has turned into such a cool thing,

[@Gl6619]

Definitely more than the Washington Post

[@mechmaverick]

Dragon Pizza didn't appreciate this

[@rjstrong321]

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.

[@danielmoose1273]

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(!!!) 🙂.

[@westcoastspartan1528]

What an awesome experience, love the people and the food looks amazing. Congrats on all the success Dave

[@jonnygranville281]

Jesus. I cry over dumb shit all the time, but a pizza fest tears me up? What a fun, heartwarming video

[@kellen282]

Couldn't agree more.

[@rashesthippo]

your shirt is 6 sizes too small

[@bittnerbs]

What a dude! This was super cool to watch. I wish I was there.

[@SLCclimber]

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!

[@morganscrivener3727]

Pizza Fest needs to go on the road! One National Tour, everybody knows the rules.

[@joes7028]

Congrats on you're new house it's beautiful Dave

[@CraigArndt]

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.

[@toddzilla13]

I was waiting for the crazy Greek Guy from Toronto to show up. Would have been great.

[@randallrhoads3271]

im sorry...this is way beyond fkn cool....no way im missing this if theres another one..

[@josemandrez7]

This is amazing. What an event to celebrate family owned business!

[@joi8674]

I love that Montes was there. You almost have too. You get to taste where it all started.

[@cornhoolio6456]

this looks like fucking heaven

[@Coffeespillsthebeans]

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 !

[@contrambulance6357]

Al santillo made the whole event better

[@deww2550]

1000p can get behind supporting this! Love seeing Dave remeet the owners, so awesome!

[@SW-vu6pz]

Dave's hoodie game is on point

[@Venividivici55555]

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🙃

[@BasedCabbage]

Omg that guy who said I just wanted to make sure the shirt wasn’t too tight 😂😂😂😂😂 what an OG 1:44

[@metalfan1100]

Please do this again. I gotta make it to the next one! What an event!

[@garrett_fit]

I missed this but I can’t wait for this years.

[@whiskybooze]

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.

[@markwestervelt9708]

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. 👍

[@rcl9922]

Santillo’s!!!! 😂 What a legend

[@Felorn6863369]

You're the man Davey pageviews.

[@chrispurnell1982]

Looks great man.... helped a lot of people

[@TheSilentTiger89]

3:34 “Take two bites” I’m dead 😂

[@wesleyschoonove5738]

Do you think Dave thought he'd be known as the international pizza ambassador when he started all this?!?

[@slojo3898]

One Bite Pizza Fest just went #1 on my bucket list……

[@jasonwardell7472]

Dave is a legend

[@HereForLaughsAndLearns]

Nothing but really good people in this video.

[@Blueskies1180]

That looks like a freakin blast!!!! Hello from Toronto 🇨🇦 Canada!!!!! 😊

[@Eric-mz9en]

I'm buying a shirt once I can get off my mom's couch. Lol

[@WorldRadio559-CBRadio]

The photo on that shirt....ROFL!!!! "Talk to the birdie..." 😂😂😂😂

[@cablah3174]

What a monster. Promoting amazing food and amazing businesses to an international audience. LOCK HIM UP!!

[@aaronroberts1037]

Dave, a man of the people! Keep up the great work brotha

[@ModelA]

I am IN for the next one!

[@thomasfloyd123]

Vote up if you agree!!The only thing this video is missing is getting all the primary chefs in one place for a conversation. That would be so interesting!

[@4greenb]

looks like a vibe even with the rain !

[@cafezo87934]

This better be an annual thing

[@EndlessAmmunition]

Epic Dude--- keep rocking that boat

[@3232jrob]

This looks so damn fun...NY is so lucky

[@Whatsthe_dill]

Do this every year in the summer

[@prokoppako3082]

one tear down the cheek, everybody knows the rules

[@krystalklearwater]

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!

[@tflo25]

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.

[@malontheblock]

Chicago needs a One bite fest

[@RockyMountainResale]

that end song low key made me emotional. lol

[@ElysianDivine]

this is so wholesome

[@tonyrauls1941]

Wapo did more advertising for pizza fest than their actual advertisers. Nice job wapo!

[@Dbrockjohnson]

love this guy!!!!!!

[@conorburke7356]

"its your pizza I aint eatin it"

[@OneEliteGeek]

Please do this again. Couldn't make it this time, but would love to make the trip from WV.

[@JMM2479]

That's our Prez!

[@bradythagoatt]

AWESOME EVENT BY A AWESOME GUY!!!! CANT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR

[@waylonrichter1253]

Dave Portnoy, quality dude.

[@shaneyz5865]

Dave you created warped tour for pizza 🤯

[@tonynicoletti8161]

Next time, do it at the Big E! They got plenty of huge expo barns. That way the weather wouldn't be too much of an issue

[@Skullberrylane]

Dave is the people's champ. Also, Monte's pizza is not good. They shouldn't have been there and you know it. Lmao

[@doc-vg9lq]

man the logistics of this event must've been ridiculous. To get all of those pizza ovens and other equipment for all of those vendors there and on that field had to have been a nightmare. To even have to transport that heavy equipment out of state if they brought their own oven had to have been a chore. And he even rented out a stadium. I wonder how many people attended.

[@jesusbakle2972]

Pizza king in the house.

[@enthusiastsofnewengland5073]

Need to have one in Boston.

[@drpork1360]

The fact that Santillo was there makes it complete. Guy is a total legend.

[@robert7984]

I'm going next year. Bucket list!

[@Yeet113]

Hey editor this video seems to be missing one of everyone’s favorite barstool employees, Rico bosco! Can we get the extended cut with all the best rico moments of the day?

[@elizaleroux9173]

Congratulations!!! It looks like a wonderful success story.

[@darthdude365]

This man really is the king of views

[@ryanrandall1727]

Dave's stock has never been higher! Man of the people for the people.

[@tons-wb1hl]

Simon Cowell of Pizza. That's who you are Davey boy! SIMON FRICKEN COWELL, WITH CHEESE!

[@umeng2002]

Who would want to cancel this?

[@cmac6136]

Man if i could enter the country, i would have loved to go.

[@eianmoretz]

Al Santillo is my favorite pizza maker of all time. He is a 9.4

[@mo514]

All kinds of top tier pizza n good ppl, looks like a good time

[@berserkergames113]

Look at El Prez davey in his ELEMENT !

[@TeamStevers]

Dave is champion of the every man

[@DR.ELEKTRIK]

Wow! I wish I could've have gone to Pizza Fest!
