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. 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.

Low-key they know what they are talking about calling it that. Place rules and is the only place I trust to make a veggie slice that is actually good. Prices are reasonable. Vibes are always immaculate

Ordered a pepperoni basil pie and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked crust (not floppy but also not crispy), delicious pepperoni, and a decent price. Not from NYC but it seemed like the perfect neighborhood spot for a quick slice and a beer.
