Papa John’s Pizza

Last night we used the papa johns app to order a pizza and received a confirmation email. Their website and app says this store specifically closes at 1:30. We placed our order well before this time and received a confirmation email our order would arrive within 30 – 40 minutes. Before we realized it was 2am and we had no food. So we called the store to be transferred to the manager who was anything but helpful, said they never received our order, and told us «uh yeah nothing I can really do» So after an extremely long day of traveling we had just returned home and trying to unpack we waited almost TWO hours for pizza and the man was anything but apologetic. The service at this store is awful. I will not be back. We placed an order when your store was open, waited our proper time and then you were rude to top it off and we never received. Talk about EXCELLENT customer service.

To start I love the pizza with the cheese and garlic dipping sauce. Mackenzie the store manager is extremely nice and very helpful. Mackenzie has shown me excellent customer service every time I order from his store. All the staff are very outgoing and always smile to say hello when I get take out. I highly recommend this location for all your papa johns favorites and to try something new. Praise to Mackenzie for doing an excellent job with his staff and management skills.

This location has very low cleanliness standards. The first thing I notice when walking in is the dirty floors then I see a pizza maker grabbing pizza toppings and putting them on pizzas with his bare hands. Now I’m no germophobe but I do like food service workers to wear plastic gloves when touching my food. I have even come to expect such decencies at places like subway. But to see this gentleman fondling the peppers I was about to eat surrounded by dirty countertops was a bit repulsive.
And to top it all off the pizza was bland.
So in conclusion; If you’re going to touch my food, don’t do it in front of me and at least put some spices on afterward to cover up the scents you may have left behind.

I used to eat Papa Johns all the time. It was one of the darkest periods of my life. I don’t want to get into it here.
Sometimes I still get a hankering for some shitty fast food pizza. I call Pizza Hut, Papa Johns or wherever, get whatever they’ve got on sale, and suddenly I’m reminded of why I don’t #fuxwit shitty fast food pizza on a regular basis. Pizza Hut is probably the best of them, for what it’s worth. Dominos is obviously the worst. Papa Johns falls somewhere in between. If the pizza at Papa Johns tasted like anything at all, it would be dangerous. Alas, the pizza at Papa Johns doesn’t taste like anything at all.
It’s weird, because pizza isn’t made of anything other than ingredients that you’d almost expect to be overwhelming: tomato sauce, various kinds of cheese, spicy meats like sausage and pepperoni, onions, black olives, so on and so forth. There’s no way you should be able to put together any combination of those ingredients and not have it at least be offensive in nature. If the pizza doesn’t taste like shit, at least my breath should stink. Is that not where the term pizza breath comes from?
A pizza from Papa Johns tastes like a good pizza that’s been put through a dishwasher. If you concentrate hard enough, you can detect a slight hint of what a good pizza is supposed to taste like. But mostly it’s just kinda bland. It’s not offensively bad in the way that Dominos is, and it’s very consistent, and I suspect that this is why it’s become so popular. If the tomatoes tasted like actual tomatoes, they wouldn’t appeal as much to people who are really into ketchup.
I got a flyer from Papa Johns a few weeks ago, towards the beginning of football season. I noticed they had some good deals going on during the beginning of the week, and I figured I should take advantage of them, because it’s not like I’ve got shit else going on at the beginning of the week. You can get any pizza from Papa Johns, including specialty pizzas, for $ 11 all week long, but on Mondays it’s only $ 9. They’ll still try to stick you for $ 11. You have to mention that you have a coupon. Don’t let Papa Johns rip you off. Don’t worry, if you don’t have the actual coupon. They don’t ask for it when you go to pick it up. If they do, tell them to go fuck themselves and go to Pizza Hut. The pizza’s better there anyway.
Of course I had to go with one of the specialty pizzas, which would cost like $ 90 if it wasn’t on sale. But here’s something else to watch out for: I think Papa Johns is introducing a lot of so-​called specialty pizzas that don’t cost as much to make. These pizzas shouldn’t cost that much anyway, because they don’t have a lot of meat on them. Case in point, the new Classic Sausage and Peppers pizza, which I tried. It’s just a sausage pizza with onions and peppers. It should be a proverbial party in my mouth (no Sandusky), because sausage, onions and peppers is a match made in fat man heaven, but it doesn’t taste like much, because I think the sausage and peppers would taste better if they were more caramelized. But I’m actually more concerned with whether or not this pizza is worth as much as it would cost if it weren’t on sale.
For that price, you could get a pizza from a place that’s a bit more «authentic.»

I like Papa John’s a lot! BUT!!! I ONLY like their thin crust… it’s very very good. Their regular crust, imo, is tasteless.
I also like the fact that their crust, sauce and cheese is safe for vegetarians (at Dominos, for instance, the only crust that is vegetarian is the thin crust)…and they readily disclose that right on their website. Yay, Papa Johns!

I ordered Papa John’s because I’ve been told that it’s better than Domino’s. I disagree!
I’d rather have Racannelli’s, or La Pizza… but it was freezing and we were tired, so we just ordered delivery. Online ordering was great, almost as easy as Domino’s. The pizza was just OK — nothing special. Domino’s is way better.
We ordered some BBQ wings to go with the pizza and they were AWFUL. Fatty meat, weird sauce… skip it.
