Why is Papa Johns the greatest mass-chain pizza franchise out there right now?

>Sarpino's
What regional flyover chain is that?

It sucks to be honest.

It tastes almost Identical to Little Caesers, the crust is practically the same, the sauce has a slight bit more zing to it but there's so little of it that it doesnt matter. Their better-ingredients dont mean shit if it doesnt got enough sauce, because the cheese sure doesnt have much of a taste to it.

Except its 3 times the price.

The only reason the local papa johns survives is because it sits literally right next to campus.

Its cardboard to eat with your beer thats all.

If you want the best pizza around here its this place called Quatros that costs the exact same amount but you get a Deep Dish Pan pizza and a couple drinks with it. And the sauce is sublime.

>undercooked dough
why would you not tell them to cook it well done? its like you're a pizza noob

These days Domino's is the best chain and I can't believe I'm actually typing this. A really long time ago Pizza Hut was the best. They've gone to complete shit, now they're by far the worst. Papa John's came along and they were better than anything in the 90s. They've gotten worse though, it's still pretty OK but they've cut corners. It's like a cheap imitation of what it was. Domino's was always the worst until they fixed everything a few years ago. This made them pretty equal to Papa John's but John's quality keeps going down, so now Domino's is somehow winning.

This can be had for the same price down the street, and yes they deliver.

BTFO eternally by a local joint.

pizza hut and dominoes aren't any better.

I honestly don't know anyone who gets it. I only did because they basically never close and I was wasted at 3am. The sausage tasted like it was spoiled the crust was meh and I seem to remember something was off with the sauce. Too sweet or something I really can't recall

Dominos is pretty great

This 100%

better ingredients better pizza bro

This 300%.

Because they all suck so there isn't much competition.

I don't really know which I like the best, I haven't had Dominos or Papa Johns in over a year. Pizza Hut is 5 minutes away from where I live so I just order carry out from there, but even then I normally order from non-chain places unless I really need food ASAP.

>domino's has great PR and alright product, but highly dependent on the joint
Not busy and non-ghetto neighborhoods brings what might be a 3/10 to an 8/10 for me
>Papa Johns feels like it's on par with dominos these days
>Pizzahut: fucked up dough with diabetic tomato sauce
>CiCi's: All you can eat
It's tough but I think as long as it's not >5minutes old Little Caesar's or Pizza Hut, I will at least not regret my purchase

Yea, my work got us all dominos one day for work recently and I tried it for the hell of it, and I was really surprised at how good it is, seeing that they used to be pure trash.

I sometimes get myself a pizza from there now when i'm drinking and don't want to cook my own.

something unsettles me about that man, call it a hunch

He's a greedy drunken shill who treats his employees like shit.

Fuck Papa Johns. I remember being a kid and it was legitimately better than all of the chains and most of the local places unless you lived in or near a major pizza city.

MBA fucks slowly wittled away at it. They made sure a fresh pizza looked the same out of the box but the toppings, the bread, the sauce, especially the cheese have all been A/B tested to the cheapest worst crap. Its sad that Pizza Hut and Papa Johns have become the Subway and Jimmy John's of pizza, since they weren't ever bad when they were on top.

I miss going to Pizza Hut's for the lunch buffet.

When you have a hour and a half for lunch and the pizza hut is only 15 minutes away. You got a lot of time to eat a lot of pizza.

there's always CiCi's
The only drawback being the only thing that makes me want to not eat their pizza is the fact that the other customers tend to be the same people you see at Walmart at midnight, or the same people at Golden Corral

Both of those places are alright on their own, but someone's looking like they're going to complain about trivial shit
Or someone's going to let their unmannered little spawn shove their grubby little hands in the chocolate fondeaux

My local one in the UK is alright. Delivers fast and hot, and the pizza isn't too greasy or undercooked.
Chain fast food is all dependent on the quality of staff and facilities.
We got a KFC that is brilliant here, but the old one was a dive nobody ever went to because the fryers were old, it was a small cramped building, and the Paki staff just didn't care and let it go to further ruin.
I've actually been to a pretty good Subway once. They actually do exist. Run by someone Polish usually.

They use the cheap dominos flour now. Stopped ordering from them.

papa johns is garbage with red sugar water instead of sauce.

Little ceasers is the best by a long shot if you order it to be made fresh instead of getting one of the hot and stale pizzas.

I too like LC the best for normal pizza. I'll order a pepperoni/cheese pizza then ask for Parmesan on it before it's baked. It comes out amazing every single time so far. (4 times) Way better than the big 3 chains and such a simple order. They really don't mind if you order a fresh one instead of taking the old ones as long as you're willing to wait 15 minutes or so for it and fresh is really nice there. My LC has quite a large seating area with booths/tables also and if you want to sit there and eat the bring your food out fresh on metal serving trays with a stack of plates and you can order a pitcher of soda if you all can agree on one type to drink. Still under $6 for the pizza too.

Because it's the least shit. Not an amazing accomplishment, but an effort at least

Their cheese is mediocre. Their dough is OK, I can't taste the fucking chemical leavening in it like I can in every other chain at least. Just wish their sauce and cheese were better. But with the sales they run... eh.

I dunno man, I had dominoes the other day and you know what? It actually wasn't bad.

We can all agree little Caesars is garbage though. I'd eat Tony's frozen pizza before touching that.

Because. Undercooked is only part of it. The sugar content of the dough is too high. So doughy sweet dough with plastic fall apart cheese once is enough for me. Frozen pizza is better in my opinion

Owner is a prick who likes to fuck over his employees. Pizza is okay.
They lost me when they stopped offering extra sauce as an option where I live. Their pizza is dry and tasteless with the standard amount.

>medium one topping and 2 sodas for $15
>good deal

Papa johns is the pizza I eat when I'm utterly depressed and in need of some kind of escape or yummy mouth feeling. It's best because it's the most socially acceptable delivery and the size of the pizzas allow you to save for a long time. Also like the first poster said, there are often deals that allow it to be a little less expensive, and when not, there's coupon codes available (namely 25OFF) that I use basically every time.

I'm such a degenerate that I actually have an account and save up papa johns points so I can get free pizza/snacks
