Papa John’s

When I have had a long day at uni or work and can not be bothered to cook your tea before heading out on the town, my favourite food to order is a Papa Johns. The service here is so rapid that ringing ahead on the walk home is usually sufficient to ensure that it is ready in time for your arrival.
The staff will soon recognise you if your a regular like me and they save your number so will normally know what you want before you have a chance to ask. Although they get busy at the weekends the wait is never excessive and they are very good at keeping you informed on the wait. The best deal is the buy one get one free on any size pizza if you collect. 2 mediums between 3 people is more than enough to line your stomach for a heavy night out!

John Schnatter, the founder began his pizza career in high school as a dishwasher at Rocky’s Sub Pub in Jeffersonville, Indiana. It was after his promotion to pizza maker that John’s interest in the pizza industry peaked. Throughout his high school and college days, John continued working in pizzerias, all the while taking notes about what worked for each location.
Even then he knew that there was something missing from national pizza chains: a superior-​quality, traditional pizza delivered to the customer’s door. His dream was to one day open a pizza restaurant that would fill that void. John was so focused on this dream that he asked a college dorm mate to create a logo, thus bringing Papa John’s to life.
After graduating from Ball State University in 1983, John returned to Jeffersonville where his father owned a tavern, Mick’s Lounge, that was $ 64,000 in debt. John’s dad asked him to put his newly acquired business degree to work and help pull the tavern out of debt. John decreased the debt by increasing the price of the pool tables and lowering the price of beer. Once Mick’s was on its way to showing a profit, John began to focus again on his first true love, pizza.
He decided the folks at Mick’s might be willing to buy it so he knocked out a broom closet in the back of the tavern, sold his prized 1972 Z28 Camaro and bought $ 1,600 worth of used restaurant equipment. The customers loved the pizza so much that John was able to expand by moving into adjoining space in 1984, eventually leading to the opening of the first Papa John’s restaurant in 1985.
Today, Papa John’s is the third largest pizza company in the USA with over 2500 stores in North America alone. Most importantly, Papa John’s is the recognized quality leader among national pizza companies and today remains committed to its heritage of making a superior-​quality, traditional pizza.
This particular outlet lives up to John’s ideals and you wont be disappointed with the choice, quality or service and the home delivery is first class– give it a spin.
