I probably told this story in the last Papa Johns thread but I worked at a Papa John’s that was owned by two guys that before franchising their own stores used to work for corporate at the regional and later national level. They met Schnatter himself on many occasions and said that he was a massive rear end in a top hat who’s thought his poo poo didn’t stink. They told me this back in 2001-2002 so the stories have largely faded but they said pretty much everyone who met him thought he was a tool. One time Schnatter himself flew in to tour a bunch of stores and at one store he tried showing all of the employees how to make a Papa John pizza the right way. He proceeded to have everyone gather around so he could slop together a completely lovely and sad looking pizza that would fail the picture test 10 out of 10 times. He didn’t even bother to use the toppings portions like his employees are supposed to do. I don’t remember if he used any of his face grease but either way he can’t make a pizza worth a poo poo.

this only because he was muzzled from using his advanced pizza techniques. if they let him say the n-word then he'd be able to show you some REAL pizza

For three years I've been eating local pizza then happened to have Dominos at another person's house and the Dominos was so vile I nearly puked.

Yeah I enjoy eating fast food trash but for some reason I can't get into fast food pizza. It just by and large tastes like garbage to me.

When I want pizza I'll pick it up from a local place. It's more effort than just ordering some but it's way better. I'm a pizza snob I guess.

I think Domino's is pretty decent these days. They actually have fresh dough balls that they hand stretch and top, which is more than you can say for like, Pizza Hut. And the $7.99 for the 1-topping large is basically a way better version of a Little Caesar's Hot N Ready. It used to be 3 toppings but inflation killed that deal. I don't eat it very often but if I do, it's probably my first choice for takeaway pizza. Pizza Hut is loving frozen garbo.

Back when I was eating Dominos regularly I might have agreed with you. After tasting real pizza and going back to Dominos I'm confident in saying that Dominos tastes like sewage.

The deal I used to always use was 2 for $5.99 each. A medium 2 topping pizza and wings. It went to $6.99 though a few months ago of course.

I agree but the cheapest local pizza here is more than twice the price of a Dominos equivalent.

A friend once explained to me the appeal of chain pizza delivery: they're like that friend you have that's a total deadbeat piece of poo poo, but they're always down to hang out when you're drunk and hungry at 2 in the morning and your more reputable friends (i.e. local pizza joints) are in bed.

Fuck it.
Papa John's hasn't been quality in at least 10 years. I used to order PJ's all the time in college and it WAS heaven, and not just because I was an idiot kid. It was objectively fresher, tastier, and cheaper than the other chain pizzarias.

Then they started cutting costs and now it's an undercooked, overly sweet, artifical cheese, trash meats nightmare. Seriously, I have bad dreams after eating Papa John's.

An 18 inch large at the "good" place locally is like $28.00 before tip. gently caress that poo poo.

Yes this. I can walk three blocks out my front door and run into literally seven local pizza places that are different degrees of fantastic. After 10pm though, Dominos et all has them beat, because they’re all asleep and we’re drunk and Dominos will send a guy over in 20 minutes.

I've never met anyone who has eaten Papa Johns but in 2016 we saw Islands do a ten year anniversary show for Return to the Sea and there was an intermission where Jon Daly of Kroll show fame came on stage with a fake beard and a guitar and a Papa John's cap and introduced himself as "Papa Johns Misty" and fake covered FJM songs but with pizza lyrics.

They incorporated an applause/boo meter into the act & like forced him off, it was really funny.

Not nearly as political or serious as the McCauly Caulkin project, The Pizza Underground. This was the same show where we ran into the full band on the street after the show and my wife chatted up Nick from Islands and got a picture but didn't look at or say anything to Michael Cera cuz she didn't know who that is and he did a so-so job playing guitar so there was nothing to really praise him about.

Also it was Santa Con which is good for seeing sloppy rear end bitches eat one dollar slices on the block, 25 degrees, pussies just out like BLAM!

Now everyday is the same and years blend into one another but I've never sunk so low as to consider trying Papa John's pizza. Or Subway.

Yeah, a 12" (around the size of a medium Dominos pizza) thin crust with one topping at the trashy local place (but I like them) is about $17. If I get pizza and wings for delivery from the place that I'd rather go to, it'd probably be around $40 with tip.

Maybe 2-3 years ago I was filming outside my front door during a storm and the tornado sirens going off. A delivery driver was just going about their day delivering pizzas.
