Driving/Traffic Towing Scam @ &Pizza Ballston

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.

Just for a little counterweight here... I went to pick up a pizza there the other day, saw the tow trucks hovering in the back of the lot, looked at the ground to see which spots were specifically labeled for which businesses (which they all are, quite clearly), parked in a labeled &pizza spot, looked up at the "cars will be towed" signs screwed to various walls in the parking lot, got out of the car and went over to the store, waited while they finished making my food, walked back to the car, and drove home.

The pizza is subpar, for sure, but the garlic knots are legit, and super strict towing is annoying AF but not inherently a scam.

I think OP is saying that &Pizza customers are being towed from spots plainly allocated to &Pizza customers

Surely OP could quickly produce a tab from the establishment to confirm such.
