BRADENTON — Bar Stool Sports founder and famed pizza critic Dave Portnoy made his way through the Tampa Bay area this week, logging several pizza reviews, including Gianni's in Bradenton.
Gianni's, located in the Publix at Rivers Edge Plaza on SR 64 in East Bradenton, earned a 7.3 review, which is quite impressive for Florida pizza being reviewed not only by a northerner but one who has sampled the very best pizza in the world.
As of press time, Portnoy had not yet logged his Tampa reviews, but you can check them out on his One Bite Reviews website. Pizza connoisseurs can download the app, rate pizzas, and check various locations for the best user reviews.
