Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy made himself clear: He loves bar pizza.
And Hackensack’s Lido Restaurant gave him just that.
The sports internet mogul stopped by the ever-popular Main Street joint this week for another installment of his “One Bite” pizza review series.
“I love it in there,” said Portnoy, standing outside of the old-time restaurant. “It’s straight out of the 1930s. You’ve got the old people sitting around, bar-style. I hope it’s going to be bar pizza… it has to be, right?.”
Lido opened in 1956. The restaurant briefly closed in 2018 for renovations, but reopened weeks later.
The “One Bite” series got its start with Portnoy reviewing classic bar-style pizzas, the CEO said.

After his first bite into a slice, Portnoy repeats himself: “I love bar pizza.
