Barstool Sports founder says Melvindale pizza joint has the best in metro Detroit

The search for the best pizza in metro Detroit may now be over. A national pizza expert known for his one-bite pizza reviews is giving the honor to a Melvindale pizza joint.

“I’m nobody, just a little guy in Melvindale,” said Fredi Bellow. “There is an art to making pizza. I top every one with fresh basil, that’s my little kiss on the end. I don’t make pizza for money.”

Only 20 seconds in, and you already love this guy – it’s “Fredi the PizzaMan.”

Fredi Bellow relies on his regulars but now has a whole new set of customers, after a visit from social media powerhouse Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

“Hopefully I can take care of them all,” he said. “That is my number one concern.”

Portnoy has an intensely loyal following, making pizza reviews part of his thing, and has been in Detroit for weeks doing those while overseeing the launch of the Barstool Sportbook at Greektown Casino.
“Alright pizza review time, we are at Fredi the Pizza Man,” says Portnoy as he kicks off his video review. “This undoubtedly is the best pizza in Detroit, not even close, it’s not even close.”

And this what an 8.7 out of 10 review looks like the morning after by Portnoy, a notoriously tough grader. At 11 a.m. there was a line an hour before Fredi was supposed to open and three and a half hours later – he ran out of pizza.

“Life has changed for a lot,” Fredi said.
