How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

A most delicious pie. We got the numero uno deep dish which comes loaded with sausage, pepperoni, peppers, onions & mushrooms with a rich marinara sauce over it. It was so good. Walking into unos the smell was incredible. Excellent ambiance...

When you take your customers for granted. What a disappointment, we seemed to be bothering them. Dirty table. Questionable taste of water. Sorry, this restaurant is living off an inflated reputation. We ordered the special salad, okay, but...

While visiting Chicago for the first over the weekend, we met a local who told us to try Uno for our first Chicago deep dish pizza experience. Uno is reportedly the first deep dish pizza place in Chicago, serving deep dish since 1943. It’s...

As expected. Classic deep dish pizza. Snug fit in the building but you can tell its very old. Courteous staff.

Cold pizza rude servers 50 min waiting time overpriced
3★ · 2025-06-20
Busy, long wait for a table, long wait for the pizza, even w preorder. Waitress did not refill waters, brought wrong drinks, and took a very long time to bring the check.
Dry or Hard Crust
Several guests mention that the pizza crust can occasionally taste overly dry, dense, or hard like a cracker.

The popularity of this restaurant speaks for itself. My preference in Pizza is not deep dish. I think it's highly overrated and more symbolic or mythical. The taste and texture of the bread is so distinct from thinner crust and wood-fired p...

Enjoyed the pizza making class. Super was funny and informative.
Cramped Seating and Slow Service on Busy Days
Reviewers note that the interior is very tight and crowded, which can occasionally lead to inattentive or stressed service during peak hours.

Our waitress was Lupe. Been there for 20 years. Had to speak with the manager about her as she was rude and not friendly compared to All of the other servers. When we ordered our deep dish pizza, she said in such a negative manner that made us want toleave,”45 minutes.” When our pizza came, she just...
