Tell the owner of the pizza place that somebody may have done something silly in his credit card system, or that his payment provider is having issues.

There may be numerous methods of someone getting your card information. For us a local Asian restaurant had two temp employees run a skimmer and cost the restaurant a bunch. Turned out they were number farmers for a bigger operation. If Pizza shop owner is really a friend let them know.

So when I call in and they want to verify my identity, they have to ask me more questions that only I'd know. So beyond the standard, address, SS#, etc that can get lost in a phishing scam.
It’s not phishing OR a scam if your own bank is trying to verify your identity to protect your own money and credit.
...and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to give them the correct info. You can answer every question the same way. Mother’s maiden name? Bunny. Street you grew up on? Bunny. Favorite vacation spot? Bunny.
But you are compromising your OWN security if you do it.

I read that as they have to ask him questions about things other than just what would typically get lost in a phishing scam.
My father-in-law got hit with one of those calls promising to reduce your credit card rates and he gave them his card number and the last four of his social before it occurred to him that this might not be on the up-and-up. We got him to immediately have the card canceled and replaced and then call one of the credit reporting outfits to have them stick a fraud alert on his credit report. He was having a hard time understanding why he could trust these people who were asking him all the same things that the scam call operator had asked him before and was having a hard time understanding that it's monumentally safer when you're calling them.

Mine got taken at University Plaza in Springfield MO and I noticed it about 5 min after it happened.
I stayed there about 2 months before, tried calling them and got zero response
Call local Law Enforcement. Report the pattern.
If it happens to you at that Pizza place its happening to others.
Probably one bad apple employee that thinks he is to clever to get caught.
Detectives love this stuff. Easy to catch dumb thieves and they get points for making an arrest.
And "freeze" your credit with the three bureaus.
