Geoguessr pro Rainbolt felt “challenged” by a local New Yorker who posted about their new favorite pizza joint without naming it in order to keep the masses at bay.
Trevor Rainbolt is a popular online content creator best known for playing Geogessr, an online game where you’re dropped in the middle of an unknown area in Google maps and must guess where you’re at based on nothing but context clues.
Rainbolt has become famous for managing to deduce near-exact locations in mere seconds based on things as obscure as the color of the sky. In fact, he even managed to guess the spot where a man had proposed to his wife in Japan back in 2009.

Lately, Rainbolt has started exposing folks’ favorite food spots that they like to gatekeep in order to avoid dealing with long lines, should they get too popular.
One X user named Adam Fern bemoaned this exact scenario after Barstool’s Dave Portnoy ‘ruined’ their top pizza joint with his viral one-bite food reviews, showing a line down the block.

Rainbolt uncovers foodie’s favorite pizza joint after Dave Portnoy ‘ruined’ his last spot
Luckily, Fern managed to find a new favorite, which they posted about without dropping its name — but they forgot that Rainbolt exists.

“New pizza spot opened near me and honestly it’s about as good as it gets. 10/10. And it’s all mine now until the masses discover it.”

And it’s all mine for now until the masses discover it.

The influencer was tagged by a fan and viewed it as a “challenge” to uncover the spot himself, and, unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long.
Rainbolt used two clues in the post to help him deduce the restaurant — “new pizza spot” and “opened near me.” After doing some digging to find the poster’s approximate location from their social media history, he was able to look up new restaurants in the area that had interiors that matched the photo they’d used in their tweet.

Sure enough, Rainbolt managed to find it — Brooklyn DOP FastLife Pizza on 995A Fulton Street in Brooklyn, New York.

“There’s nothing personal against this,” Rainbolt said. “I honestly just took this as a challenge. It’s probably worth the opportunity to give this pizza place a shout out, because it does look like good pizza.”
Fern has since responded to Rainbolt’s video, admitting that he finds it “beyond amusing to me that strangers cares what I have to say.”

This isn’t the first time Rainbolt has broken a foodie’s heart by exposing their secret spot; in 2023, he uncovered a TikToker’s favorite bagel place in a video that went viral on social media, much to their chagrin.
