Good thing Fourloko was banned...

I mean, it's not like other things are going on in Boston that affect residents. Right?

Snark aside, this place needs to be shut and gated immediately. There's no excuse for a place to be doing this, AND stealing credit card information from their customers.

Regal Pizza has been doing this for years

Hit up Yelp and read dozens of warnings about the place, and check out their ONE STAR rating.

Why aren't people demanding charge-backs? Why are people signing receipts with no items or totals? Why does this place still have a merchant account?!?

My question exactly - And they've updated the site

What credit card processing company would dare do business with these guys? And why aren't people doing chargebacks?

If some rinky-dink little pizza place gets hit with dozens, if not hundreds of chargebacks and fraud complaints, the processing firms are going to nuke their account without a second look.

The official site now reads:

Minimum For All Delivery/Catering after 11pm $59.99
Please see menu for details and delivery charges.

Cute, but a disclaimer today doesn't excuse fraud in the past. I hope the Attorney General nails them to the wall and closes them down.

Regal - Royal

Not to be confused with Royal Pizza on Washington Street (Somerville/Charlestown border) -- which is run by nice people and has good food. (What's with the Kingly pedigree nomenclature on da pizza?)
