Low Risk

Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Denny's Pizza since Aug 15, 2011, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
