Hi!
My first review is about a pizza restaurant. The reviews are originally in my native language, so I translated them into English.
"I ordered an XL pepperoni pizza with sausage and stuffed crust, as well as an XL Farmhouse pizza with thin and crispy dough. They didn’t impress me much. The pepperoni pizza had no flavor at all, with a complete lack of seasoning, and the stuffed crust was barely noticeable. As for the Farmhouse pizza, the tomato sauce overpowered the other ingredients, and there was no balance in the flavors. The sauces that came with the pizzas were a nice addition.
The mozzarella sticks turned out to be the best part of the entire order. The buffalo wings were okay, but nothing special—the sauce was spicy but pretty standard. For junk food pizza, there are definitely much better alternatives.
Since I placed my order on the restaurant’s opening day, I had to wait about two hours to pick it up due to high demand, which is completely understandable. Despite the delay and what I assume was a stressful situation for the staff, everyone was very kind and smiling, both in the restaurant and over the phone. That earns them 1 out of the 3 stars I’m giving the place."
My second review is about a gourmet burger restaurant.
“Classic Smashburger** – a completely standard fast food burger – 3/5
French fries – the fries were okay, but nothing special – 4/5
Philly Cheese Sandwich – had no flavor, burnt bun, not enough cheese, a strange smell, and for some reason, there were mushrooms – 1/5
Homemade chicken nuggets – they were tasty, the meat was good, but unfortunately, they were slightly overcooked – 4/5”
I discovered that the issue was with the photos. To identify the problem, I tried removing some of them, and it worked for the first place. However, it didn’t work for the burger place. I guess there’s a system that checks whether photos are appropriate, but its detection isn’t very reliable since there was nothing inappropriate in mine.
The thing is, I took photos for both places at home - the first was a home order, and the second restaurant only offers takeout, so I had to bring the food home. My photos were solely of the food, with no background or surroundings. There are far worse photos in other reviews, yet mine got flagged. In the end, I gave up and posted the second review without any photos.
