Barstool Pizza Review – La Nova w/ Big Joe Todaro

This is a fun video. Not sure if any of you guys follow Barstool Sports, but the owner Dave Portnoy has a show where he tries a new pizza place every single day and reviews it, sometimes with celebrities. This week he was in Buffalo and he got a chance to visit the infamous La Nova Pizzeria.

Not only did he get to try La Nova’s legendary pizza and wings, but who did he run into? None other than “Big Joe” Todaro, Jr., the alleged (retired?) boss of The Arm.

Barstool Pizza Review - La Nova (Buffalo, NY)


I don’t think Portnoy had any idea whatsoever where he was or who he was speaking to, but Mr. Todaro showed a great deal of hospitality even despite mafia jokes. In fact, Joe seems like the most stand up man in the world.

That's great . I love his pizza reviews.

You can tell he is proud of his pizzeria!

That pizza looked terrible !!

it was pretty funny. i dont think he knew he was talking to a boss or retired one.

He had no clue haha. I cringed when Portnoy made the joke about getting whacked in the basement and Big Joe turned to him - dead serious - and told him “don’t say that around here.”

That pizza looked like shit, like garbage u would order from Dominos
