Manipulation score
CleanCompleted Jul 19, 2026 · 96 reviews flagged
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.

Pizza was top marks and service was great. I initially went to overpay accidentally as it was our first night and the server corrected me which was very decent and honest.

Ordered a couple pepperoni, pepperoni mushrooms, and buffalo chicken. Almost 5 dollars per slice. Pizza that was supposedly warmed up but came out cold. They don’t have water cups because “the machine doesn’t serve them.” Pizza itself was mediocre. Crust was decent. There are better places. Workers...
