In a heartwarming display of community support, President of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy has committed $60,000 to keep Baltimore’s TinyBrickOven pizza shop open for another year. The owner, Will Fagg, had been struggling to secure a liquor license and was planning to close the store due to financial difficulties.
During a review of the restaurant on social media, Portnoy revealed his plan to keep the shop open and quickly raised the funds needed to keep it running. TinyBrickOven’s fundraiser has since surpassed $50,000, with donations pouring in from around the community.
Portnoy’s generous donation comes after the video went viral, showing him offering financial assistance to save the shop. The restaurant reported a surge in business on Christmas Eve, with a line out the door and phones ringing off the hook.
