Papa John’s Pizza

Everyone is coming down pretty harsh on these guys, makes me sad. I used to live two blocks away and ordered from them at least once a month. They have great cheap pizza if you remember to use a coupon. It’s a nostalgic dinner for me as it takes 40 minutes round trip to get food from here. Worth it? Not totally out of the question.
First of all, not all their pizzas are greasy. If you want a fine example of too greasy go to Toppers or Pizza Hut. That stuff will destroy your guts. Get a thin crust from Papa John, skip the pepperoni and extra cheese. A SMO is way better anyway. If I want the grease I order garlic breadsticks. The. Bomb. I find the flavor of the pizza to be appealing enough to make me come back, and for a cheap take-​out I think their sauce is the best.
Wings were ok, but I last had those about 4 years ago. Didn’t find them spicy enough but they were flavorful. If you prefer a less greasy side, skip the cheesy bread, and just get the original breadsticks. Second best side behind the garlic version.
The website has been improved upon since I last used it, again it’s been several years. It took all of five minutes to place my order and make a payment. I like that’s it’s a simple build-​your-​own set up that starts with crust and cut type, then walks you through to all the topping types.
I’m too far away for delivery now, but it was always fast when I lived in Oak Creek. Living two blocks away had its perks. I did pick up often to save time. The parking lot seems to have more room than I remember, probably due to Blockbuster being replaced with a mattress store. Either way it’s a win.
Will I order from here again? Maybe in another year or so. It’s not really easy to keep warm for the entire 25 minute drive home.

I ordered from this Papa John’s once when I lived in Oak Creek, we lived less than 10 blocks away. That being said one night we called in an order for pizza and told the person on the phone our apartment buzzer was broken so have the delivery person call us when they got to our place. We waited over 45 minutes, nothing. So we called Papa John’s to inquire about our order which they stated had been delivered, we said we never got a phone call and no one ever came. They just said we could order a new pizza instead… No discount, no free replacement pizza or anything. Very sad, especially since we lived so close.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have ordered from this store many times and tonight Curtis (the store manager) decided he would not allow his employees to because he didn’t know where we lived. I had him put it in his smart phone to prove we literally live 3 miles away, but he still refused. Awful service.

BEYOND DISAPPOINTED in the Oak Creek location. Aside from the disgraceful service, the food made me sick. Within an hour or so of eating a few slices from here I experienced awful stomach cramps and Exorcist-​style vomiting. Funny as I felt just fine earlier in the day. Not wanting anyone else to get sick, I contacted customer service. Do you think anyone bothered to get back to me? That’s okay though. Hope Papa John’s enjoyed their visit from the local health inspector (Yeah, the health department gets back to people). There are plenty of competitor pizza joints around — avoid this one! You know, unless you enjoy spending your evening hugging the toilet.

Greasy pizza.
Garlic sauce is pretty delicious, although it is mostly butter.
You can always find coupon codes for online ordering, I have never paid full price.
