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.

So happy this place opened up the area! Amazing chopped salads and specialty slices like the MVP which has marinara, vodka and pesto sauce on top. The cauliflower pizza lives up to the hype - the crust is so crispy and delicious. Super clean spot with friendly staff, I will definitely be here a few...

I've got to say growing up in Long Island and being a huge fan of Joannes Gourmet Pizza there hasn't been a similar place in NYC till now. The "MVP" slice is really unique and they easily have the best Buffalo Chicken Slice in NYC.. The staff is always friendly and always wants you to be satisfied....
