Papa John’s Pizza

Not only did I not like this pizza, but I know the owner pays his people next to nothing & is using politics, supposedly, as an excuse. While he builds Mega-​Mansions — look him up!
His name is John Schnatter, that’s been in the news.
Lousy pizza in an abusive environment?! no thank you. I’d give this less than 1 star.

Mmmm pizza

I’m impressed at how quickly Papa John’s delivered. I ordered 3 large pizzas using their app and a discount code they texted to my iphone. My pizza came 15 minutes later — incredible! Caveat is Papa John’s is 3 blocks away. I am giving it four stars because the delivery boy was so unprofessional and had the nerve to ask me for more money than I was already tipping him.

Papa John’s is what it is: mediocre, fast food pizza with a peperoncini in the box.
I have a major issue with this place. They periodically carpet-​bomb the entire neighborhood with menus and door tags. It’s not three or four menus per building, it’s more like 20. They’ll hang the door tags EVERYWHERE, even on metal fences between buildings. It’s so wasteful and creates a lot of litter. I will never order from them for being so thoughtless.

As far as fast food delivery goes, Papa John’s takes the crown in the East Village/​Kips Bay area.
Delivery takes less than 20 minutes from the time I hit ‘Order’ online AND I ask for my pizzas well done.
I always tip them at least 20% when they’re under the 20 mins.
Service and quality is superior to Domino’s (Allen St)

I actually don’t dislike Papa John’s pizza at all. It’s good late when there are few places open and it’s relatively inexpensive for a good amount of food but this location in particular is not very good. The first time I called they hung up the phone after they said «hold on,» and didn’t make an effort to call back. I was hungry, and craving franchise pizza, so I called back again — they took my order, great. 20 minutes later I get there for pick-​up and the guy looks at me like I have 6 heads. They speak in another language to each other and I see the guy behind him jog to go start making a pizza. So much for the 20 minute all ahead. The pizza itself when I finally got it was pretty good, always guarantees a stomach ache but it’s franchise pizza, not much of a surprise there.
Recently I passed there wondering why I hadn’t ordered that type of pizza in a while and I saw that they got a C on their NYC Restaurant Inspection. It’s always a turn off to see that a restaurant (especially within the larger franchise) can’t properly follow policy. Makes me wonder if they are dirty. Someday maybe I’ll take the dive again but that C rating is pretty fresh so I’d keep at a distance for a while…

This is a trusted friend during crunch time when studying for exams. The delivery is fast. Online ordering is such a useful tool. The thin crust large (6+ toppings) always hits the spot. I just wished they’d be more consistent in including the seasoning packet with each pizza. That thing is MONEY!

First of all I would like to say that Courtney P. is completely OFF THE MARK on her review. Her review is not only disgracefully to the Papa John’s Franchise but disgraceful to GOOD tasting pizza. After reading her review I think it’s safe to say that she should be taken to a mental hospital. and I am no doctor.
Papa John’s is as good as it get’s… Better Ingredients. Better Pizza BABYYYY what whatttt
Papa John’s is like the bentley of all pizza. if you don’t have it. your not a baller…
The garlic sauce is off the charts, i love that stuff so much that I bathe in it daily. NO JOKE. I stank good
The cheese sticks are amazing. that artificial cheese get’s me going. after eating that I could run 5 miles. NO JOKE
Not to mention. Papa Johns came into the market a little dog. and came out a big dog… CHECK FORTUNE MAGAZINE COURTNEY. there business model is bababallerrrrr.
So bow down to John courtney. and give him the respect he deserves…
Shout outs to my bros in OPPPRISKKKKK Lundo and stones

A lot of you are smirking right now.
«Papa John’s?!» you are saying. WTF is Courtney doing? She clearly got hit by a cab and is now hallucinating.
But hear me out and let’s compare apples to apples. No one is comparing Paris Hilton to Michelle Obama. So if we were to talk about the Paris Hiltons of pizza (cheap, unhealthy and always available) and momentarily exclude the Lombardi’s and Grimaldi’s of the world, well… I can’t complain about PJ’s.
They are open very late. The service is super fast. The crust isn’t greasy. Your order is always right. I’ve been to the actual store several times and it is clean in a clinical way. And the spicy chicken wings aren’t all that bad. Now don’t get me wrong, that garlic sauce that comes with each pizza is chemical sludge incarnate that may survive nuclear fallout. And the lone pizza-​box pepperoncini is sort of creepy. But when you are looking for that Paris-​esque cheap, cheesey, late-​night, pizza thrill, and it is way after all the fancy-​pizza-​places’ bedtimes… well Papa John’s really isn’t all that bad.

The thin crust pizza delivery hit the spot at midnite. It made me wanna order Papa J’s more back home in the Bay Area. woop woop

Fast service and tasty toppings! Much better tasting than Domino’s. This is more of a take out/​delivery service store.
Hopefully more chains will open in Manhattan.

Quick delivery, and boy do they take you seriously when you ask for extra sauce on your pan pizza. Sloppy sauciness with delicious salty sausage on a surprisingly crunchy thick crust. I saw the ad on TV for a LARGE 3-​topping pan pizza for $ 12.99 — resistance was futile. It was a war worth losing.

One of the saddest things I saw before leaving New York was a Papa John’s opening up just a two blocks from my apartment. Oh, the irony.
