Lemme help. First, it is some local place that no one but him has ever heard of. Second, they probably have some kind of bullshit "artisanal" or masturbatory dough process that was brought from the "old country" through Staten Island at the turn of last century. Then, the tomatoes are some kind of hand cultivated, sunlight jizzed version that they leave the bird shit on to add "full flavor" to the sauce. Finally, the cheese is "hand crafted" from rare, albino bulls and aged for 2.742 years in a special cellar in a basement where some asshole dances and tells people to put lotion on their skin or get the hose again.

ATOT foodies piss me off more than just about anyone else.

:thumbsdown: And here we have the response from someone who has never had decent pizza.
 
I don't particularly like Papa Johns but the next time I am on that side of the city I plan to order and tip big.

What do you guys normally tip the pizza guys? For the last order, I gave a 6$ top on a 32$ order.

I usually pay cash, so would have likely just given him two twenty dollar bills and let him keep all the change.

lol, wow I really love Papa Johns. I think they are the best. Is there a place in Dallas or Houston that's better than Papa? I want to know what real pizza tastes like.

Try a real pizzeria in a place like New York or San Francisco sometime. I can't eat Papa John's pretty much. Though my favorite is Numero Uno in southern California, but to be fair I wouldn't suggest it as a good example of 'the best', just a unique pizza that I especially enjoy.

Until you can try one, here's a picture of a local deep dish place I like:

Here are a bunch of samples of 'good pizzas', some in Texas.

One thing - people tend to get used to a food they like, so if they like Papa John's and try others, they might not like them much at first because they're not the same.

No thanks. I don't want a "unique" pizza and I certainly don't want a bunch of garbage on it. Give me a greasy, foldable slice from Brooklyn with just cheese and stfu about the "artisan shit". Thanks
 
Is it really that wrong for Papa John's to explain that their costs have risen and thus their prices will go up? Sure, he's trying to make a political statement, but I don't have a problem with costs like that being passed on to the consumer.

I'd rather everything cost what it *really* costs.

Very few of those pizzas even looked appetizing

You have nothing to say about Numero Uno until you taste it. Note: NOT "Uno Pizzeria".

They care about the safety of their employees. You think that's a reason not to order PPJ?

their policy is that employees are not allowed to be armed though. It is grounds for termination.

so...no. no: they actually "do not care about their employees."
well, of course except when some shit happens, and then it makes press.

so, OK: when in press, then they care about their employees.

It's pretty much mandatory for any corporation wanting to stay in business that they have an anti-gun policy for their employees. The fact that Papa John's didn't fire the woman after she violated it is what people are applauding.

PR wise they made the correct move. They disciplined the woman by reassigning her to another job and also came off as compassionate by keeping her employed. All without making any real pro or anti-gun statement. It was the best decision possible on their part.

So, basically, the policy is there to make sure they hold no liability. The fact that they are choosing not to enforce it says a lot.
