Papa John’s will close about 300 stores across the United States by the end of 2027, the Louisville, Kentucky-based company announced during an earnings call on Thursday, Feb. 26.
Ravi Thanawala, Papa Johns' CFO and North America president, said he expects about 200 closures to occur in 2026. The closing stores, according to Thanawala, are primarily franchisee-owned and "are not meeting brand expectations or lack a clear path to sustainable financial improvement."
He added that the locations generate "negative four-wall" income and are over a decade old.

Papa Johns reported a 2% year-over-year decrease in its revenue from North American stores in fiscal year 2025 in its earnings release. Revenue at company-owned restaurants was down 3% while franchised restaurants were down 2%.

I still appreciate the little peppers they put with the pizzas. Dig those.

I love the pepper. I actually prefer papa John's over Pizza Hut.

Papa John's sucks. Worst crust ever. I think they survived solely on the novelty of the garlic dipping sauce.

They value their pizza a little too much for me.

Used to be much better pizza when he still ran it. Mediocre now.

I feel like PJs has a niche as the reliably “ok” mass delivery pizza
It’s not going to be particularly good, but it won’t be an absolute disaster or gross.
Can’t really say that for the Hut.

The Garlic Butter dipping health catastrophe is amazing when warm and no one else has perfected it, unfortunately. Their crust and sauce is an absolute disaster now. It’s disgusting.
But the Garlic Butter dipping health catastrophe is ‘muah’
Shame. Dominos, PH and PJ are all inedible garbage now. Though I have seen some of the retro Pizza Huts are making a comeback.

A lot of people shite on Pizza Hut, but for the chains, I've always enjoyed their thin and crispy meat lovers.

I bet they could save their 2% right there.

Marco’s is better

Hunt Brother's gas station pizza is pretty great if you get it made right.
Thin crust with all the toppings and cheese on top for $10 ain't bad at all
