How We Rank

Transparency in every slice. Understanding our 100-point algorithm.

At Pizza2Home, we believe you deserve to know exactly why a restaurant is ranked where it is. We use a proprietary 100-point Weighted Authority Scoring system that balances three critical pillars:

50%
Core Quality

Based on aggregate review scores, sentiment analysis, and food consistency metrics.

25%
Authority

The total volume of verified feedback and the longevity of the establishment in the local community.

25%
Freshness & Hype

Recency of reviews and current trending status to ensure we aren't ranking based on old glories.

The Confidence Guard

To ensure statistical reliability, any business with fewer than 40 verified reviews receives a "Confidence Penalty." This prevents "one-hit wonders" with a single 5-star review from outranking established local favorites. As a business gains more feedback, this penalty automatically tapers off.

Data Integrity

Our scores are calculated daily. We use AI to filter out suspiciously repetitive feedback or bot-generated noise, ensuring that the "State Elite" and City rankings are earned by the hard work of the kitchen and delivery teams.
