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.

Excellent service from the staff. They even added the extra cost to a slice of pizza :) and took the time and trouble to take a picture with us. The pizzas taste amazing and the slices are very generous. Thank you so much to everyone for making us feel so welcome. Highly recommended.

They are so kind here. They let me use the restroom in the back when I was desperate at 2am. The absolute most gentlemen and I said I’d be quick and they go “you’re a lady, take your time.”
