Pizza shop owner has received death threats after Dave Portnoy review Twitter: stoolpresidenteThe owner of a pizza shop has received death threats after he and Dave Portnoy exchanged words during a 6.4 review. After Dave Portnoy exposed a Somerville, MA pizza joint as \u201cThe worst pizza place in America,\u201d the owner, Charlie Redd, has received death threats. Portnoy\u2019s review on Redd\u2019s joint, Dragon Pizza, started like any review does \u2014 with one bite only. But when Redd came outside, out of nowhere, to tell Portnoy that he was wrong for rating pizza places, things got fairly heated. Though some of the exposure has been good for Redd, he has admitted that the death threats are rather taxing on his mind. The owner of Dragon Pizza says he doesn\u2019t want to give Portnoy credit for \u201ccomplicating\u201d his life Though Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has raised over $50 million for the pizza places that have allowed him to review their pies, the owner of Dragon Pizza wasn\u2019t having it. In Portnoy\u2019s now-viral review of Redd\u2019s pizza, Redd can be heard saying to Portnoy, \u201cMove on, don\u2019t stand in front of my business.\u201d Though it\u2019s unknown as to what triggered Redd to disinvite Portnoy from reviewing his pizza, the two proceeded to exchange words, as Portnoy responded to Redd, saying, \u201cF\u2014k you, it\u2019s a public street, you motherf\u2014ker.\u201d Barstool Pizza Review \u2013 Dragon Pizza (Somerville, MA) The Worst Pizza Place in America pic.twitter.com\/gBNqmg87Go \u2014 Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) September 1, 2023 After the incident went viral online, Redd took the time to catch up with Boston.com where he revealed that although Dragon Pizza has sold out numerous times since Portnoy\u2019s review, the death threats are a bit much for him to handle. Redd explained the aftermath, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s kind of new terrain for me \u2014 It\u2019s mental. But I don\u2019t want to give him credit for complicating my life.\u201d Redd continued, \u201cWe\u2019re running our pizza shop, and everyone is happy. I\u2019m receiving death threats. I\u2019ve received threats at my home. I\u2019m receiving tons of all sorts of different attacks in many different ways.\u201d Though Redd said he had to turn off comments from Dragon Pizza\u2019s Instagram to disengage with the negative comments and threats after Portnoy\u2019s review, he told Boston.com that he and his staff are committed to their purpose, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re going to go back to making pizza and making people happy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
