For many years Papa Johns Pizza has been advertising their brand of holy terror in the great commonwealth (ok, state) of New Jersey but not until recently did I realize how imminent the danger. Apparently a Papa Johns store has opened in my nearby locale. How could the mortal enemy of tasty pizza surface in the very midst of Jersey, guido capital USA? Where's the rioting? Where's the public outrage?? If one wishes for the Papa Johns pizza experience try this generic, and free, equivalent: grab a can of bathroom cleanser. Lick it. For their breadsticks go out to the yard, grab smooth oblong stones, dip in butter sauce, swallow. When Ohioans are telling you "this is the best tasting pizza ever!" you know something's up. So now we've got Domino's, Sbarro's, and Papa John's. It's becoming "Chunderfest" around here. If Pizza Outlet and Round Table open up nearby I'm nuking the place (just kidding Rumsfeld, please don't torture and kill me).

Here on the prairie, Papa John's is about as tasty as pizza gets. Might I suggest the thin crust, and be sure to get some ground beast on it, and some onions. It's very important to accompany each bite of pizza with a mouthful of wine (any red kind will do), too.
I'm just excited when we get to eat food that doesn't have cream of mushroom soup as its key ingredient.
cream of mushroom soup...yum
We have not been blessed with Papa John's pizza yet but I bet it would taste good if you consumed a few bottles, or cases, of wine with it..
It could be worse. They could all close and reopen as Domino's
--shudder--
While their pizza is nothing to write home about, I am swooning over the cheesy garlic breadsticks and requisite garlic butter sauce. About 1000 calories a packet, but it is heaven. But to tell you the truth, Papa Johns pizza sucks less than Elmhurst, IL pizza, which tastes like waxy middle school cafeteria pizza. I miss my Manville pizza damn it.
Papa Johns is funky ass tasting shit and those commercials ahhhhhh .. talk about me wanting to shoot the t.v when they come on Papa John pisses me off. I agree tastes like dirt.
Papa Johns sauce is nasty. The whole place is bad bad news. Worst Pizza ever.
On a brighter note, we can celebrate the fact that they will NEVER EVER make a good tomatoe pie! I love them...I have no idea what is on their menu so I hope they don't have tomatoe pie, maybe it is a Philly thing as no one else seems to know what tomatoe pie really is...I have to admit, I hate pizza but Sarcone's in Philly makes the best...and me saying that is saying alot! ...but we take our food seriously in this town! Cheesesteaks, pizza, tomatoe pie and hoagies, soft pretzel's and waterice...anything Italian takes the cake in this town!
papa johns = pizza
like
mcdonalds burger = prime rib
did someone say pizza?
mmmm calzone, deep, thin,
pizza
starch
meat
'vegetable'
all together... its just so...

xxB
Papa John's pizza is AWFUL!! Round Table, however, with its mountains of toppings and spicy sauce, is my absolute fave.
Well, Echele, I now have a burning desire to go to Philly! I love the street pretzels, and the pizza I'm sure is better... Mmmm Philly...
I know that Papa johns is well off in its own capoltlaism ate up world, but lets not forge tthe great things they have given our communities. One of the first general manager's son who just so happened to open one of the best pizza places Papa Kenos. God love em, they put food on my table.
Papa John's tastes like cardboard.
Cher is not racist. She wrote a song about racism. Art school is strange.
have to tell you that I just called Papa Johns and ordered a large pie with black olives and an order of cheesesticks with garlic dipping sauce. I've been having cravings since I first read this posts. I also can't get the mage of swallowing stones out of my head. What can I say, IL pizza SUCKS!
It also just came to me that "John" is not an Italian name. Therefore the pizza can't be too delicious. Ah well. In 30 minutes it will be mine!
suzi, HB2- the wine probably is essential to chemically break down the compound known as Papa Johns.
violet- cream of corn, now we're talkin'
rainy- I think they're about equal
martini, katie- exactly!!
echele- Is that just a pie with tomato slices on it? Is it cheeseless?
anigans- McD's riblet = prime rib?
boudica- I agree, but we're talking about travesties of pizza here
omni, cody- I just can't get down with most of those weird chain pizzas. Papa Kenos just sounds odd
allison- I think I'm just gonna go on thinking Cher's racist anyway.
kim- that garlic butter dip is a good idea in theory, but in practice by them, awful!
"Papa's" real name is John Schnatter. That's terrible! Ha
Tomatoe pie is made with a thicker tomatoe sauce about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch thick on a round or square pizza spiced with garlic, oregano and basil and then sprinkled with parm cheese...DELICIOUS!
Michael's in Philly makes the best in my book.
Sarcone's for the best pizza!
But they are popular for their bread...some shops in the city stop making hoagies when they run out of Sarcone's bread! Now that's loyalty! LOL...
Heya Kim. I too live in IL. And yeah. Pizza around here tastes like perfumed ass. But there are two pizza joints I can, and will recommend. DiMaggio's in Flora, or Pizza Man in Newton. Both places have left me wanting more. But here where I live, Monical's is the best we can get. Should I hang myself, or starve myself?
