Papa John’s apologizes for saying anthem protests have hurt their pizza sales

Same. I have a couple of local places where I live. I'd much rather go there.

Exactly. We just discovered a new local place 2 weeks ago.

The only chain I ever hit these days makes decent uncooked pizzas you heat yourself. Those work for parties where you want the food to just keep coming for a while. Not great, but the thin crust is decent.

Actually, John Schnatter is already rich and getting richer because people open up Papa John Franchises. The only ones you hurt as a customer really are the people that run the franchise. John's already got his money from them.

That's only partly true. I'm sure he gets a cut of sales from each franchise, which is why he's rich, and so when Papa John franchises suffer, he does as well, which is why he through the corporate organization spends lots of money on ads to broadly boost demand for Papa John pizza.

Earth to PJ: why don't you try and make better tasting pizzas instead, your pies are terrible.

You missed the best part of that response:

We believe in the right to protest inequality and support the players’ movement to create a new platform for change. We also believe together, as Americans, we should honor our anthem. There is a way to do both. (2/3)

We will work with the players and league to find a positive way forward. Open to ideas from all. Except neo-nazis — 🖕those guys. (3/3)

In case it doesn't show up the symbol there at the end before "those guys" is the middle finger.

I think I've seen commercials for them. I can't remember the name, but we dont' have one around here. Honestly? I'd truly rather have a good, higher quality frozen pizza than anything a chain store can give me, and it's usually cheaper. I will say, though, that I am addicted to Little Caeser's cheesy bread sticks.

What frozen pizza do you like? Haven't tried those in a long time. I have 2 fridge/freeze combos but both are the side by side type, so space for something like that is an issue. I'd basically need to make it the same day I bought it anyway.

I like California Pizza Kitchen, and the Screaming Sicilian. They are good (especially Screaming Sicilian). Any mainstream like DiGiorno or Freschetta is OK in a pinch (and still better than the chain pizzas) and amazingly enough, if you can handle going there, Walmart makes a damn good fresh "take and bake" pizza. There was one - can't remember the name of it, but it was a Chicago style, thick thick pizza. Can't find them anymore, but it was the absolute best. I can't find Chicago style anywhere. :(

You can always go to Chicago. ;)

As for me, I live in the 3rd world, so there are no mom and pop pizza places here. I can get a medium, 3 topping pie from Pizza Hut for $2.99 so its my go to pizza since its cheap- better than Papa John's in taste too.

CPK has some branches here but they are too expensive to order weekly. Motorino's recently opened a branch near my friend's house and they are the best in the city, but I rarely go there because of the price and traffic.

Yeah we could go to Chicago. It'd be worth it for a really good pizza. :lol: Maybe this summer.

I forget where you live - Oceania covers a lot of real estate.
 
Papa John's should apologize for making and selling pizza.
 
At least we got to page 3 this time before people started trotting out the irrelevant "my local place is better" crap. :roll:
