Keith, who has more than 8 million followers, said that an employee from the pizzeria reached out to him asking whether he could try the food and post it on TikTok because the business is not doing good and they “can’t afford rent.”

Keith obliged and told the restaurant owner that he was going to make a “completely honest” video about the pizzeria and proceeded to try various dishes. He rated most items at least an 8 out of 10.

When he tried the fifth order — lemon-pepper-sauce chicken wings, Keith said, “This is one of the best wings I’ve ever had. This a 10.”

Then he tried the pepperoni pizza, rating it a 9.8 out of 10, saying, “This is why I started making videos like this.”

“There is no way you should be behind on rent or struggling to pay rent,” Keith said in the video, adding: “That food is delicious.”

His food review went viral. Even his followers are urging people to go to Frankensons Pizzeria.

The next day, Keith posted a follow-up video, saying that Frankensons’ TikTok page gained tens of thousands of followers within 24 hours after his review was posted. And thanks to him, the store was “slammed” with customers.

Frank Steele, the owner of Frankensons, had an interview with the Las Vegas ABC affiliate KTNV, and said Keith’s food review led to a surge in orders and in-person diners at his restaurant.

“Our phone never stopped ringing. I’ve sold more lemon-pepper wings in the last two days than I have in the past four months,” he told the KTNV, adding: “I have people coming in from Iowa, people from California, Lake Havasu. I had people come down from Utah, all because of this video.”

“God is amazing. God bless you all,” Keith said, saying it was not about him.
