BALTIMORE (WBFF) – TinyBrickOven can now remain open thanks to Barstool founder Dave “El Pres” Portnoy, also known for Barstool Sports’ One Bite Pizza reviews, who donated $60,000 to the pizzeria.

The original plan was to close the store on Christmas Day.

Portnoy tried a reheated pizza since there was little time left in Baltimore, and after tasting the pizza he said, “This is a reheated pizza and very good.”

“This place should not go bankrupt under any circumstances, under any circumstances,” Portnoy said.

When asked how much TinyBrickOven needed to stay open for a year, Portnoy agreed to donate $60,000.

Portnoy rated the reheated pizza 7.9. “It cost me 60 cents, but whatever, I’m a nice mother.”

Portnoy transferred the money the next day to the account of William Fagg, the owner of TinyBrickOven.

“I wrote him a really big thank you. And he wrote us back and said, I think you’re going to be very busy right now. And I thought: Yes, I think so too. “I mean, I told him the way the story went was that it went a lot better than any of his other normal stories,” Fagg said.

Fagg calls Portnoy’s generous donation a Christmas miracle.

“I have a feeling it’s a man. I still believe in miracles. “The timing is definitely not a coincidence, at least at first glance,” said Fagg.
