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 →

Very convenient for eating on the terrace of our hotel, which is just steps away (Arlo Midtown). The portions are very generous, delicious, and very inexpensive. It's always busy, but the service is quick.

5★ · 2025-09-13
This establishment offers exceptional value for money, easily earning a five-star rating. The place is always bustling, with fresh, hot pizzas constantly being prepared. As soon as a cheese pizza is ready, it's typically gone within moments...

Quick service, nice people serving you , but It could have been a little cleaner, not enough sitting to sit and eat , also pizza should be served hot
Taste and Crust
Reviewers report that the slices are large with a nice, crispy crust and good flavor.

Not the cleanest pizza place I've been to, but one of the friendliest. Wow, that food was delicious. The speed in which they made that pizza was incredible for a fast food place even! My compliments! There may not be a ton of seating inside...
Surrounding Environment
Reviewers report encountering aggressive panhandlers and a sketchy atmosphere outside or inside the shop.

Very slow service compared to other 2 bros locations. Too many homeless harassing customers for money in the store. Still can't beat the price for a pretty good slice.
2★ · 2022-11-23
Many homeless people enter the place

Having a pan handler asking for money at the counter as you post is not cool

The deal outside stated , 1 pizza slice for 1.50 $ , when went inside nothing was like that. It was some sort of a well planned tourist scam. Went inside and purchased a single slice of bbq pizza worth 4.5$ , because was too much hungry....

Tourists beware!!! Sign outside says two slices and a can of soda for $4.99 they charged me $9...

Home of the iconic and delicious NY dollar pizza slice. Although now it is $1.50. Always a good time and an incredible value. Pizza is delicious but seating can be tough so better to take it with you to the park but remember to add which seasonings you would like which are provided on the tables in...
