Popular Maine Pizza Shop Picked to Represent Portland, Maine, in Barstool Sports’ One Bite Pizza Festival
I'm not gonna lie, friends, I think it is cool as hell that Monte's Fine Foods is participating in Barstool Sport's One Bite Pizza Festival and representing Maine.

He's helped hundreds (if not thousands) of small and local companies pick their businesses off the ground. He's donated thousands of dollars to animal shelters, and gave his beautiful rescue, Miss Peaches, the life she never had. He also keeps it very real and transparent, which is very hard to do these days on social media. So for that, he wins my utmost respect.
