I'm certainly not going to click a Newsmax link but if Papa John's is struggling financially it would absolutely be because of the reputation Papa John left them and not because of any of the poo poo he's most definitely whining about. The only exception would be if it's because they're not doing ridiculously immoral poo poo like not using children in the pepperoni mines anymore. IMO the best thing they could do is rebrand but I'm sure a million people will respond as to why that's a terrible idea because I'm not a business person.

Rebranding would be silly, but it makes more sense that what Papa is suggesting. Increasing quality in any meaningful way will make them significantly more expensive than their chain delivery competitors, while still resulting in a product significantly worse than real pizza places. There's no room for a kinda-good kinda-cheap pizza delivery chains, it's one extreme or the other.

at least here I feel like cheap local pizza places are probably a scam I was hankering for a pie late one night and checked out places close by. went to the closest one but couldn’t find it cause there wasn’t a sign. finally realized the issue, went in and there was one dude in the whole building, mannning the register and making pizzas. He had the dirtiest nails I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Different place by me took an order over the phone then when I went to pick it up the place was closed. A third place I’ve gone to was a kitchen occupied by two different restaurants - pizza and Chinese. Paul’s, Tony’s, Adams. These days I don’t trust pizza made by dudes with one name

Now I like domino's more if your the average goon age its because dominoes was rear end until like 2010 then they rebranded and have done a good job at not being rear end. papa johns otoh has stayed the same.

What is it with these ultra rich weirdos that can't give up lovely management jobs. You hit it rich, go do something else. It can't possibly be running a pizza chain as a glorified middle manager that keeps you going. I refuse to believe it

Where in the hell do you people live that you order this poo poo when you want a pizza? My own life is bleak, but not that bleak. I'm not even against fast food at all, and I like convenience and I like cheap lovely food, but don't try to tell me this poo poo is actually good. I mostly feel bad that a better pizza isn't available in your area.

Grinders, pizza and seafood, that's what Connecticut is decent for.

Unrelated grinder question: We have "grinders" in my Midwestern home state, but they are specifically sub sandwiches with a "Midwestern style" taco meat + cold cuts and some kind of slightly spiced white sauce (not ranch but maybe ranch adjacent). I suspect this isn't what a grinder is in the Northeast, and may be some weird micro-region food thing. Are they just sub sandwiches?

Remember when Papa John complained that his pizza would go up in price by 50 cents if he had to provide health care to his employees due to the Affordable Care Act? Oh no, I have to treat my employees like actual humans!

Never expected in a thread discussing Papa John's mediocre quality and their deposed racist wormbrained former leader that I'd get nostalgia triggered for the meatball grinders from a mom & pop pizzeria in my wmass home town. I haven't been back in over 20 years but I think the same place is there. Hopefully nothing's changed.
