Is pizzariascan.site legit or a scam?
A Brazilian manga translation site flagged by three antivirus engines for malware, likely due to aggressive or malicious advertising networks.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis shows that three security engines, including Fortinet and CRDF, have flagged this domain as malicious. The site is a niche Brazilian 'scanlation' hub for manga and manhwa, which often rely on high-risk advertising networks to stay online. While our research found no direct scam reports or complaints on consumer platforms, these types of sites frequently host 'malvertising' that can lead to unwanted downloads. The domain has been active for over a year and has a valid SSL certificate, but the 'Redirecting...' title and low traffic rank are typical of aggregator sites that may redirect users to risky mirrors. We have set the trust score lower to reflect the active malware detections.
Web Research Findings
Our live research agent queries scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, news coverage, and general web search for pizzariascan.site, then cross-checks business-registration records and look-alike domain patterns. Everything below is pulled from what it actually found.
- pizzariascan.site is a Portuguese (Brazilian) manga/manhwa scanlation website, referenced as a source in multiple MangaDex forum posts and Keiyoushi/Tachiyomi extension GitHub issues (e.g. issues #7849, #8498, #8772) from 2025.
- The domain has been registered for more than 1 year (per siteconfiavel.com.br analysis updated 21/2/2026) and possesses a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate until 2/5/2026.
- No mentions on Reclame Aqui (Brazil's main complaint platform); the siteconfiavel.com.br page states there are no complaints recorded and notes it may be relatively new or simply have none.

- No scam reports, fraud complaints, or negative reviews found across web searches including targeted queries for "scam", "golpe", "reclame", or Reddit.
- The page title "Redirecting..." is consistent with many aggregator or ad-supported scan sites that redirect to chapters or mirrors.
- Associated with "Pinto Scan" Discord in forum links; uses what appears to be a Madara or similar WordPress theme common to free scanlation sites.
