Outstanding customer service by Ms. Allie– She is very young, quick, sharp and most helpful.. She did on March 25 2016 — in store order. I am yet to find the details of the receipt. We go all the way/​travel long distance to go to this store –for the good service they do…
Please ensure as a true example of good service for Papa John’s Super service, quiet, humble, sincere, dedicated –wants to be always on the phone and helpful to customers in a smiling way.
Other people really worth mentioning in the store
1. Jeff (family kept saying –he comes voluntarily to help –very nice gentleman, smiling good hearted)-this was on 3÷29÷2016
2. Angel did a great job while I came to pick up on 3÷25÷2016 Friday evening dinner from the same store. Great manager
Allie helped out and I did inform Angel who is a nice manager-​she is young as well. Very great team work. She wants to ensure everything was good… Good management skills.

I dislike chain restaurants.
So why such a high review? Because this location is not like the others. What makes chain restaurants bad? How about I tell you why this location is good, unlike most chain pizza places:
1. Consistency. I’ve ordered from here many times and they have never once given me an «off» pizza. «But a chain pizza is always bad!» I might be a food snob, but these guys don’t pretend to do anything but serve chain pizza. But they do it the same way, every time. If you think its bad, then guess what? They’ll keep giving it to you, the same way. Its the sign of a truly good business. I never have to gamble and wonder if its gonna be as good (or bad) as the last time.
2. They’re fast. I always get there in 15 minutes, and its already ready or coming out, piping hot. When I have a pizza craving, this helps big time.
3. Respect. I use coupons and online codes for this place all the time. Never once did they give me a patronizing attitude or look at me sideways. I’m a cheap bastard and I love cheap pizza. And they don’t skimp on my pizza. I ordered a pizza with over 5 toppings and extra cheese and guess what? Unlike every other Papa John’s I’ve been to, they actually gave me extra cheese! What the heck! I order 3 different cheeses and extra cheese with no other toppings from any other chain and they’ll just give me standard cheese. These guys do everything they can to make sure I don’t send the pizza back, and that I keep coming back!
4. They’re open late. Just drive down College Park and find one place open past 11pm. I work late and I get a pizza craving. My favorite pizza place in the area is Tornatore’s Pizzeria, but they close after I get off work! I’ll always try to go there when I can, but the advantage of a chain: they’re open when I want them to be.
So there you have it. This is an excellent chain restaurant. It has a friendly staff and everything is clean. They combine a lot of the things that make independently owned restaurants great (respect, consistency) with the advantages of a chain (fast and open late). If you love Papa John’s pizza style, you might give it 5 stars.

Great food … When it’s hot … We often order from here … The moment when I have a small issue the manager who lacked customer service couldn’t assist me with anything … Hopefully other members on the staff are trained better

This is THE best Papa John’s location, hands down. There is a female pizza maker who I swear works 7 days a week but she’s the best. Order your pie with extra sauce for an even MORE incredible taste. Seriously. If you’re going to order chain pizza, this is the spot!

The pizza is the same papa johns that you’ve had before. Really good– but it’s not going to blow your mind or anything. I give this specific location 5 stars because of the consistency. My pizzas are always exactly what I ordered, and arrive within 20 – 25 minutes. Extremely friendly delivery people.

Our favorite pizza spot in College Park, even above the local pizzerias. This place always has good stuff, and the pickup is super easy since it’s close to home. Very clean store, and a wide variety on the menu (they change the themed pizzas often), loving the cheese sauce too. Will keep going back to this place because it’s good service, great quality & reliability, and delicious pizza.

G.R. M.‘s review is spot-​on. I will assign this store an extra star since I never have had an issue with any pick-​up order or delivery from this location, and I’ve been getting pizza from here for a while (maybe once a month or every 1.5 months for the past 3 years, just about). I usually go to pick up the pizza since the store is so close to where I live. The store itself is clean and appears to be well-​maintained and is in a convenient spot on Edgewater Drive in College Park. The staff is friendly, helpful and courteous and every delivery order has been fulfilled in a timely manner as well as accurately.
As G.R. mentioned, there is at least one more preferable pizza option (Ragazzi’s) in the immediate area, and I try to get there as often as possible, but sometimes I just am in the mood for some Papa John’s. It also helped that, last night, I was able to get a free pizza since I am a Papa John’s «Rewards» member and all members were rewarded with a free pizza if the opening coin toss in the Super Bowl landed on «heads,» which it did. So, there likely are some very happy Papa John’s «Rewards» members this week. Any/​all members were entitled to a free pizza!
I probably will hit up N.Y.P.D. Pizza or Ragazzi’s the next time I want some local pizza, but there is nothing wrong, in my opinion, with Papa John’s and this store does an excellent job and represents the company very well.

Because I live so far away from the exemplary Brick & Fire in Sodo, this Papa John’s is my pizza place if I want to keep it cheap and sleazy. My only ordering experience is through the PJ app, and before that, on their website. No problems or messed up orders. The staff is what you’d expect.
If you want to keep it local, may I recommend Ragazzi’s, which is about two blocks away. It’s not the best pizza around, but they offer a lot of choices for not much cash.
