Owner said this review saved their business. THAT. Is f'ing awesome.

Nobody takes a compliment like Prez, he soaks up every last bit of it.

I fucking love how they all stayed inside for the review, and didn't pressure him. Not like the other owners who stand next to him waiting for a sympathy score.

"They love me Frankie...they just f'n love me" LOL what an ending to arguably one of the best reviews of all time.

A glimpse in to our current reality, Prez doing all he can. Everyone knows he has a heart of gold.

Went there and I honestly could say, the best overall pizza I’ve ever had in my life.

Made me tear up. Dave really saved this business and 50 people kept their jobs. Amazing

Well, just passed by Calabrias and saw a ginormous line stretching around the restaurant. Definitely more than I’ve ever seen from the business, so I’m going to assume this is Prez’s doing- good job man!

I mean, every bite had a crunch, not just the crust. Real deal pizza.

The joy the staff shows at the end when they're told their score is amazing

NJ has the best pizza and the worst governor. That shot of the empty dining room was heartbreaking. Dave is a total hero.

Their reaction to the 8.9 was awesome. Hope they continue to thrive.

It really is great, Prez. Real people are out there doing great things everyday. Don’t just watch the world burn on tv and think it’s the whole story.

One more small business thriving because of Dave, everyone knows he's truly a Saint.

Jokes aside , prez's ego is skyrocketing after this everybody knows the rules

That lady's reaction to the 8.9 was priceless

If you like thin crust, this has the look & the crunch factor. Will be visiting.

After all that A “bit of a tang to the sauce” and a 3.4 would have been comedy gold

Went to Calabria this past Sunday and definitely one of the best experiences we’ve had. The pizza was fantastic but the staff were extraordinary. They made us feel like family. I’m glad they were able to make it through the Pandemic and are thriving. That place was busy on a Sunday afternoon! Best of luck to them!

That girl is an absolute sweetheart. I'm really happy for them!

I grew up going to this place after soccer games and birthday parties. This puts a smile on my face

A man of integrity. Doesn’t swell his rating out of pity. Class act.

The food at Calabria is absolutely amazing! They never cut corners with the quality of ingredients they use and they take great pride in their product. But what’s even more special about this place is how the owners/staff treat EVERY customer like family. It’s no surprise to me that they’ve been in business 40+ years and it’s no surprise that they received such a high rating on this review from Dave Portnoy. If you’re ever near Livingston, NJ you have to stop in at Calabria and ask for my friend Giuseppe!

Imagine this heart felt story, really deep thing, prez eats the pizza “2.3? This pizza sucks”

To go from just a pizza review guy to be one that is saving one mom and pop pizza shop at a time. Just humbling to watch🇨🇦

one bite everyone knows prez should be the pres

What he’s been doing for small business really is amazing. The guy deserves all the praise.

I don't normally like to comment, but this was truly touching. I'm truly hoping that Calabria is not only still in business, but thriving at this point. Dave, this is HUGE! AWESOME JOB, as always!!!

The celebration when they heard they got an 8.9 instantly made me cry. Thank you, Pres! Keep spreading hope! ❤

As a restaurant owner I appreciate what Dave does for my community during this tough time. I know what we do is not saving life, we just sell foods so it’s nice to have someone care enough to do what he does.

*This place just made the Top News in March of 2021! When you score an epic 8.9, people WILL flood the business like never before! Bravo!*

It is nuts how excited the real pizza places/family’s get for Dave and or a high score from him.

One horrible plan, everybody knows they should've closed the box before tossing confetti.

I'm not crying, she's crying everyone knows the rules!

My grandfather passed away and we had a luncheon in the back room of this restaurant. I could not believe it when I saw the sign outside the restaurant of Dave and their pizza being an 8.9. Thank you for what you do for small businesses. And fuck the Dragon Pizza owner who ridiculed you.

Ironically, I was at Calabria a few months before Dave went there. I loved it and rated it at 9.1 myself. That was 2 years ago today. Unknowingly, I am eating a pie from Calabria as I type this 2 years to the day.

Felt bad for that young lady she’s trying to keep a family business going .

8.9!!! That’s a mega score! One bite everyone knows this place is about blow up huge in business! Well deserved. Pizza looks great and you gotta feel for these people just trying to make ends meet. Dave is such a great human being.

Congrats Prez on #1000th. These reviews have changed my life. They brought to my attention my love for plain cheese pizza (the good medal 🏅🏅🏅 slice) & now I’m getting ready to start my own pizzeria and it’s really all because of these reviews🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕 He’s just a pizza man, rating cheese pizza and saving people’s lives along the way.

This is honestly one of the best review ever. Great pizza. Great people. They were psyched to get the 8.9 like you should be. You're the man Dave.

I’m cutting onions, everyone knows I’m not crying...

I like how they appreciated the 8.9, they know the scale. 8.9 is a phenomenal score.

Woman (sees Dave, bursts into tears): Oh my God, he's here! Thank you! Thank you so much! Dave: Errr, does she know we're just here to eat pizza, not give them $$$?

Gotta love a company full of family that wears their heart on their sleeve. Wish they weren't across the country or I'd go there twice a week. Hang in there Calabria, this country needs more businesses like you.

One snazzy jacket, everybody knows Prez is trying to win Debbie back.

When the guy at the end said "Group shot!!!" I was thinking he was gonna bring out the fireball 😂😂😂

I went here today for lunch, I work about 20 minutes away and never knew they existed. I got a thin crust pizza with sausage and 12 chicken tenders. Tenders were freshly made. I ate a tender and 2 slices on my ride back to office. Both were delicious, just finished my 5th slice. Great people and very thankful that I stopped in. If you are in the area of Livingston, give them a try. 👍👌🍕

Do u see the struggle families across this country is going thru and for someone with a heart of Gold like him comes around, give these folks hope to keep on grinding... well done and thx for taking the time out for doing this for them man. Ur a real G....

One bite, everybody knows Prez got all my respect for what he is doing.

this business knows exactly what the “Pres effect” is. Takeout about to sky rocket. Awesome 👏

"When you can bring business owners to tears you know your doing something good everyone knows the rules"

Congrats El Prez! Awesome efforts for these times. Y’all are sending out great waves of hope to people that really need it 🥰

Love all you’re doing Dave Portnoy. I never knew who you were until seeing you on Tucker Carlson ( I’m a 61 year old lady). I was impressed by the help you’re giving to restaurants amid the coronavirus. Just a private citizen saying thank you. I try to give them support but what you’ve done has been outstanding

How could the 1,000th pizza review be any better?!? We got Rovell Slander, a small business impacted by Covid, the pizza almost breaking the 9 barrier, and a workforce of proud Stoolies. 10/10 pizza review

Love this review. Congrats on 1000 Prez and keep doing what you’re doing. You’re an amazing person

You really are amazing and that’s why I never stop watching your pizza reviews, you have made me appreciate pizza more than I did before and for that thank you!😎💯

One thousand bites to this very day, everyone knows the rules.

This is my, hands down, favorite episode ever. Good job, pres.

Omg these have to be the most wholesome workers I've ever seen. Love their genuine passion ❤️

Love this and I especially LOVE the reaction of the employees upon learning of his grade. Well done!!!

pizza looked great and so heartwarming to see their reaction to the 8.9

All the talking heads and people who do nothing but criticize Dave and barstool, should take a look at this video. Look what the “racist, sexist, third world dictator” did, helped saved over a hundred small business that make this country great. Prez is a national treasure!

Love this review more then most! The emotion is genuine and Dave's review, totally honest! Thinny thin pizza, what could be better! ❤️

Best part of this story is that not everyone knows how this family business has offered help feed those who have lost their jobs and need to feed their family... no questions asked... in spite of how they have been affected themselves... and now all that goodwill has come back to them. Awesome! Thanks Prez for helping to make it happen!

Emotional review, tears hitting me hard.

El Pres still understands how it is to be a struggling business!! Can't always tell but he's got a huge heart!!

Pres! You're awesome man. Keep doing what you're doing whether it's bringing a smile to the masses or supporting local business so the good ones get the publicity to really thrive not just survive!

hey man, good luck on your channel all the best for the new year, and to only hope you grow even bigger! congratulations on the progress

Dave is a man of the people, Everyone knows the rules.

Just glad Frankie made it for the one thouthanth review. Also, Frankie knows how to pronounce one thousand

Every time I transport pizza in my car, the smell reminds me of when I delivered pizza and waited tables here. No GPS, just maps on the wall by the phone that rang non-stop on the weekends. On a busy Saturday night you could deliver non-stop until 10/11pm. Great memories. When you worked there, you were treated like family. Watching 2 Italian brothers (immigrants) who initially couldn’t speak a lick of English, go from painting buildings, to working their butts off in a pizzaria, to finally opening one of their own and growing that business. The true American dream. This made national news on how this review literally saved the business and they were able to catch up on their bills. Amazing. Simply amazing. I’m so happy that this kind of thing is happening in the world and proud I share a tiny piece of this place’s history.

We take these vids at an entertainment value, maybe get an idea of a good pie spot in our areas, but seeing the reaction and appreciation that they have, the impact he has, it just hits you right in the feeler's. 🍻

The pizza wasn't a plain cheese it was a 1-topping with confetti, everybody knows the rules.

Kudos to you Dave and especially on what you're doing to help people with small businesses. Your parents raised a stud!! 1000th review and that pizza 🍕 looked awesome!! I'll be watching the next 1000 reviews and always love the Vlogs!

Congrats - Dino & Joe and family -- hoping the community near and far continues to support Calabria - a LIVINGSTON landmark!

I love it when people take so much love in what they do.

Seeing this unfold and the impact dave is having on people same businesses.. its really moving. I know it's just pizza and I'm not sure where the money goes if it's just pizza businesses or small buisness but regardless dave is helping struggling americans out in a big way. To me that's a hero and I think him and or barstool deserves to be recognized by the government publically.

One Pizza King saving pizza places around the country, everyone knows I'm talking about Debbie.

It’s amazing that these pizza reviews are literally saving businesses now. Pres comes through and makes it rain.

Bro, I love that family. Put the compliments and love they have for him aside, their love for their pizza and their place is amazing. Hearing them cheer when they heard they got a 8.9, you know these folks watch, they know the rules, they know the way he rates pie. Amazing. Wish them the best.

Dave Portnoy, the Patron Saint of Small Business, everybody knows he rules!!!

One dramatic pause, everyone knows it should've been over a 9.1

I’ve watched hundreds of Dave’s pizza reviews. This one got me. Keep up the good work Prez. 🇺🇸

Got to love the ladys passion.....and on about the ened when they celebrating the score

One recession everybody knows the rules Prez saving small businesses

Dear God my heart goes out to these people. Thank you Dave for doing all you can

Grew up around the corner from it in Livingston. Always a treat to get it when we're down there.

“They love me Frankie, I mean they just love me” El Prez the Stimulus Saint

That's awesome! These reviews are truly helping businesses. 👏👏

Rock on, Dave. You're a man of the people and the people appreciate what you did for small businesses.

One thousand bites, everybody knows he's changing lives

"They love me Frankie, they fucking love me."

This is definitely the most heartfelt episode I’ve seen

one group of employees ecstatic about an 8.9, everybody knows they deserved it

Came here for a review left in tears, 😪❤️❤️

Dude I’m about to cry too hahahaha Dave’s integrity and honesty gives the reward to people who actually deserve it. They are right we need more people like him.

This family is so sweet and it’s true Dave you have done more than most or any, bravo! I want pizza now 😩😆
