Papa John’s Pizza

Four people in the house and four different places pizza delivery preferences.
The pizza is consistently above average. The service is consistently average to above average. Delivery is consistently fsst and the drivers are consistently friendly. Did I mention consistently?

I do love Papa John’s. I called ahead and went to pick up my pizza. Walked into the store and literally took them 5 mins to even acknowledge me. Very frustrating and rude, they were looking right at me.

On a Tuesday night after coming home late, I called this Papa John’s location and a young Hispanic male answered the phone and placed me on hold for over four minutes. It was very hard to understand him as he mumbled through my order. Once the order was placed & my credit card was charged, he said your order should be there within 45 to 60 minutes. Fine, I could live with that, the receipt shows the time stamp of 9:35 PM for a medium pizza and a two liter soda. At 10:15 PM I called and was told the driver just left and will be there in ten minutes. At 11:00 PM I called and asked for the manager, was put on hold again for several minutes, they were hoping I would hang up. Then the same male who took my order answered and tried to disguise his voice and pose as the manager. He proceeds to tell me that the telephone desk should have told you we were running 60 to 90 minutes, we are really short on drivers. My thought was, why not just level with the customer, so he told me he will credit me a medium pizza for next time. I told him thanks, but there will be no next time! Needless to say, my order arrived at 11:14 PM and the driver said please don’t take it out on me, I just collect my orders and go, so I gave him a most generous $ 5.00 tip. For a 10″ medium pizza & $ 3.00 two liter soda, my bill was $ 24.67. That was for an ice cold pizza that tasted like rubber, and a warm bottle of soda. They threw in a free desert Brookie that was burnt and hard as a rock, cold to touch cause the driver had it in the thermal with my soda that was now warm. What in the hell are they going to do Super Bowl Sunday in five days if they could not handle a medium pie on a Tuesday night? I plan to call corporate tomorrow as well as the manager but if the manager really cared, they would have been there filling in or in the field delivering orders so for that Papa John’s, if I could give a MINUS FIVE SCORE, I would!

Your standard Papa John’s experience, nothing too special about this location, good or bad. Their pizza is good, they deliver quickly, and they usually have pretty good online specials. We’ve only had the missing pizza man experience once, which was solved as soon as we called, and they’ve only messed up our order (forgot our soda) once, which in the 30+ times we’ve ordered, I’d say is pretty good.
If you live in this area, where no one delivers but Marco’s, Bosco’s, Hungry Howies, and Papa John’s, definitely go with Papa John’s!
