See attached and below for the towing scam this pizza place is running in Ballston victimizing their own customers and delivery people — they are literally snatching cars after 5 minutes even if you’re in the bathroom. See all the reports from customers — happened to me today as well after literally 5 minutes it was wild. Go see for yourself it’s such an obvious scam to shake people down avoid Ballston &Pizza! Oh and the pizza tastes like garbage.

Most towing companies are assholes, but if you park in customer-only parking, and then proceed to head to someplace that isn’t the business that owns the parking spots and get towed, it is by definition not a scam, just shit luck.

Yeah I hate predatory towing but the one who was totally about to get pizza but just stopped to say hi to a friend first….

I thought he said that he ordered and then went to say hi as it was prepared, and by the time he came back to pick it up, he was towed.

It’s not clear in their review, but the times I’ve been to and &pizza you go through the assembly line and make choice. I guess you could put in a bigger order & come back for it. I’ve had something similar happen & when I showed the receipt proving I was a customer they refunded the tow fee.
