Barstool Pizza Review Tries Farmingdale Pizzeria: Watch
See what David Portnoy, also known as "El Presidente," had to say about the slice after it was delivered 2-and-a-half hours to Montauk.

FARMINGDALE, NY — David Portnoy, the "El Presidente" of Barstool Sports, recently conducted an unconventional Barstool Pizza Review.
The subject? Main Street Pizza Company of Farmingdale. The reason it was different? The pizza was brought to the place Portnoy was staying in Montauk as opposed to his standard in-person review.

Mike, whose brother owns the pizzeria, drove 2-and-a-half hours on Sunday to bring three pies to Portnoy.

"The pizza's ice cold, so this is an impossible review," Portnoy said. "I'm gonna give it; I don't even know what to do. I shouldn't score it, because it's cold."
Portnoy says he loves watermelons, and desperately wanted some brought to him in Montauk. He offered $200 to anyone who would deliver "3 perfect watermelons" to him. Mike obliged but also brought him pizza knowing Portnoy's popular reviews.

I don’t like using my power and influence like this but desperate times call for desperate measures. I will pay 200 dollars cash to anybody who can deliver 3 perfect watermelons to me in Montauk by 2pm

"El Presidente" continues eating the pizza before rating it.
"Because I like you, because you guys brought me your grandmother's watermelons..., you drove, it's your brother's, I'm gonna give it a 7.1. But it's not a 7.1; it's ice cold."
Portnoy then reviews a watermelon from Mike's grandmother's backyard. He cuts one in half and digs in with a spoon.
"This is a spectacular watermelon," he says. "It's a very good watermelon."
He rates it an 8.7.
"That concludes what I would say is one of the strangest reviews and the weirdest..." Portnoy says.
Main Street Pizza Company acknowledged the review in a Facebook post.
"These LEGENDS drove 2 hours to bring @stoolpresidente some @mainstreetpizzacompany LETSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOO," Main Street Pizza Company wrote. "Not a biggggggg deal."
