re: Papa John’s is closing 300 stores across US by end of 2027

There used to be a little Caesars near me and I would get it every once in a blue moon and it wasn't bad either.. For the price.

Finally some good news regarding places getting shut down. Papa John's is pure mother fricking garbage.

Ever seen the ingredient profile and macros on it? It’s a health catastrophe

I chose that intentionally. But I absolutely claim those little tubs of death first and soak the inedible PapaJ crust in it when it gets ordered at work. It’s un replicated and delicious

Papa John’s Special Garlic Dipping Sauce is a vegan, margarine-based sauce containing soybean oil, water, salt, and garlic, rather than dairy butter. It uses emulsifiers and preservatives to maintain its signature consistency and flavor. The key ingredients include so

I find it odd that they are only closing franchise-owned stores. Seems like franchises would be a no-risk proposition for them and that’s the stores they would want to keep….

The “day of reckoning” has come and “the record will be set straight” as the true Papa John has prophesied

This is a perfect description. I remember being in a 5th grade pizza party thinking it was flavorless.

This was after the first time they supposedly changed their recipe I remember thinking.. How does that happen. It was a tasteless pizza.

Agreed. It's way better than Papa John's or Pizza Hut to me these days.

My dad was once assigned to Dominos world HQ in Ann Arbor. He told me that they had test kitchens and was constantly trying out new pizzas, new ingredients, and experimenting and if you were there you were allowed to eat the test pizzas and give feedback, but you couldn't take anything out or take pictures or tell people in detail what the new stuff they were trying.

It's still good, but is a pale imitation to what it was when they first started serving it.

Of the Big 3, Dominos is definitely the best today IMO. Crazy to say considering how awful it used to be.

Papa Johns and Pizza Hut are a shell of what they were in the 90s. Both suck.

I actually like Little Caesars. I know it's poor quality stuff, but damn if their crazy bread and sauce isn't fricking delicious. And their pan pizza is solid. Its a "it's so bad it's good" kinda thing.

Donatos and Jets are the best big chain places we have here in Lexington. Not sure if y'all have them in Louisiana. Donatos is based out of Ohio and Jets out of Michigan so may not be all the way South.

We have Marcos but Ive never tried it. Papa Murphys is good, but most people don't feel like picking up a pizza they have to heat up at their prices.

Grimaldis and Pies & Pints would be my favorite sit down places.

Joe Bolognas is a Lexington/UK institution if y'all find yourselves in Lexington for a game and want sit down pizza/Italian.
