For the start of March Madness, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and his crew set up at the new Barstool Sportsbook inside the Hollywood Casino Columbus. We ventured to the casino with our microphone + were able to secure an exclusive interview with Dave.

“It’s electric in there. It’s beautiful, new, and you can place bets, which is also kind of new for Ohio. So if you like sports and like betting on sports, it’s a great spot,” he told us.

Of course he couldn’t visit CBUS without also doing a pizza review...or three. He also told us about his visits to Sexton’s, Hounddog’s, and East Coast Pizzeria where he stopped in for his classic “One Bite Pizza Reviews.” His top ranking went to Sexton’s, which has locations in both Gahanna and Hilliard.

“Sexton’s was awesome,” Dave said. “That was as good as you’ll find basically anywhere. It was really, really good.”
