Dave Portnoy Takes a Bite Out of Stoney’s Pub & Pizza in Middleborough
Another day, another SouthCoast pizza review from Dave Portnoy.
It appears Portnoy spent his time in town wisely stopping at several pizza joints in the area, and his stop at Stoney's Pub & Pizza in Middleborough stunned the new business owner.
Stoney's Story
Tammy Dunham was the longtime bartender of Stoney’s Pub & Pizza in Middleborough.
When the owners suddenly passed away, it was a devastating time for everyone who called Stoney’s home.
The place was shut down for over a year when the son of the late owners reached out to Dunham.
He wanted her to take over the business.
“I reopened in March and every single cook, bartender, and dough maker came back,” said Dunham. “We have the exact same staff as before, it’s amazing.”
As the new owner, Dunham wears many hats now, and she was in the middle of a rush when the kitchen got an order for a cheese pizza.

“An order came in for a cheese pizza under the name Austin and I thought nothing of it,” she said. “it wasn’t until he came in and handed me his credit card that I realized who it was.”
Dave Portnoy quietly came in, spoke with a few of the regulars enjoying their pizza, and stepped outside to conduct his notorious review.
“I am so excited he came in,” said Dunham. “We’re just a regular place and I think it’s so cool that he found us.”
On Thursday, “El Presidente” released the official review of Stoney’s.
“Stoney’s is maybe the most joyous, over-the-top, happiest place I’ve ever been,” said Portnoy, and he followed up the sentiment with a respectable score.
