So what they’re saying is the founder was right, but they pushed him out anyway?

I'm glad they realized that you better not hook your business to a anchor that is sinking deeper and deeper every season. The NFL has hurt their business considerably. Good!

Or maybe, just maybe, it's because his pizza is hot garbage.

I didn't know The Papa had haters. That some good pie. Better than sodium laced dominos and shitty sauce Pizza Hut.

Wish they all could be Hunts Bros though. They at least know their consumers with the NASCAR sponsorship.

Chain pizza is garbage in general. Far better off with local small pizza joints.

Yeah, I can accept that. But among the chains, PJ (I think) is best. Sauce too sweet, but nice margarine-based dipping sauce. The peppers are nice too.

I'm not sure how I got sidetracked here. frick the NFL. That is all.

I'm bored with NFL controversies and wish they would die but if PJ's business is down this year it's not because of shitty pizza. They've sold shitty pizza for a long time.

Nope. Of the major chains...

Pizza Hut
Dominos
Papa Johns
Little Caesars

I hate all large chain pizza though. It's all bad pizza.
