Papa John's Pizza

Disappointing and going downhill

by rainbowgirl47 at Citysearch

We always used to order from Papa John's but lately we have been disappointed. Their pizzas have only a handful of toppings but a hefty pricetag. Last time we ordered a large "supreme" pizza, costing us $23 and it was only 8 slices with limited to no meat per slice. The crust tasted sweet, like dessert dough. The sausage was breakfast sausage like you'd get with your pancakes. The staff is mainly teenagers who are not available at the cash register to take or pick up orders and seem careless. Once we ordered a 3 topping special but ended up with two toppings when we got the pizza at home. Chicken strips are about the portion you get at Burger King, 4 tiny, oily pieces for $6. I hope that other pizza places will open nearby that will offer better pizza.

• Pros: Quick service, lots of options
• Cons: Few toppings, high prices, no quality, no quantity

The Subway of takeout pizza joints embraces fresh ingredients and store-made crusts.

In Short
These bright white storefronts are accented with green and red details and photos of the chain's boyish founder. The simple menu focuses on standard pies and chicken-centric specialty pizzas--the Hawaiian BBQ, BBQ chicken, and bacon and chicken club--each topped with fresh ingredients like baby portobello mushrooms and roma tomatoes. A selection of sides includes bread sticks, cheese sticks, chicken strips and a handful of dipping sauces.
