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 →

Review brief

The casual, old-school neighborhood atmosphere and friendly staff receive widespread praise, though some visitors experience long delivery times or report that certain slices can occasionally lean dry.

Finally got to try the white pizza and square and both were good. Frank happened to be in the shop and we chatted it up for a bit. Cool dude, hope to see more YT pizza content soon!
Specialty Slices (Grandma and White)
The grandma slice and the white pizza with caramelized onions and sesame crust receive continuous, enthusiastic acclaim for their unique and rich flavors.

Excellent pizza, great sauce, awesome balance of ingredients. After 3 years away, it lives up to my fantastic memory.

Frank gets it. This is a real treat of a slice, blending some of the best elements of NYC slice magic with Neapolitan roots. I’m a pizza nerd, a pretty harsh critic, and I make my own pizza at home—NYC style in the colder months, Neapolita...
− Repeated complaints
Dryness or Lack of Sauce/Cheese

When the pizza does arrive it’s great. However deliveries are twice as long as expected, each time we have ordered it’s become longer and longer. Currently waiting over two hours for our current delivery and very disappointed
Pricing
Several customers note that the pizza is a bit pricey for individual slices or whole pies.

They got some good slices but sadly a little on the expensive side

A 2-hour wait for a pizza? Yet again Unacceptable. With so many GREAT pizza places in the area, I am never going to order from here again. Joes, Two Aces, etc, the list is long of awesome competitors that know customer service and speed. Don't be greedy and have delivery if you can't hold up to it -...
