Dave Portnoy Rates Two Capital Region Slices During March Madness Trip
Dave Portnoy returned to the Capital Region a few weeks ago, as he and thousands of others found their seats at MVP Arena to watch Caitlin Clark and Iowa battle Angel Reese and LSU.
While visiting the Capital Region, a region where Portnoy spent most of his summer last year, he had to hit his favorite pizza spot in the area: DeFazio's.
He was given pizza, but more importantly, he was given a slice of DeFazio's incredible hangover cake:
That wasn't the only pizza that Portnoy enjoyed while visiting the Capital Region. He posted a photo in front of Prima Pizzeria in Schenectady, and was seen grabbing a slice from Pizzeria Sapienza's outdoor pizza stand.
Naturally, he reviewed both slices of pizza, and here is how they fared in his One Bite Pizza Review series.

Pizzeria Sapienza - Albany, NY

Here's how it went:
The slice was described as doughy, drunk pizza, but despite that, Portnoy still assessed a respectable score for Pizzeria Sapienza's outdoor pies.
