This is pretty funny. I think Papa Johns is worth just about this much.

    Sorry, I can't agree with you on that. .. Papa John's pizza, while not the gustatory delight of Shakeys of old, is still pretty good.

    Given a choice of Domino's or Papa Johns. . PAPA JOHNS.

      "gustatory delight"
      Wow, I like that phrase.
      Must have taken a lot of intestinal fortitude to use it.

        And at 23 cents they are still making money.

          Hey it says Columbus too. 23 cents. Tempting. Might be the only chance to ever get my money's worth from there.

            IMO,Papa Johns is not bad. I avoid them only because of their order system......they try to force you onto the web site and open an "account"

                Is it all locations in Columbus, too? I'm not a huge fan, but it's hard to get too disappointed for 23 cents.

                  I have never had one of their pizza's but I saw on the CNN where they just hit 1 Billion in sales and most of it was due to their on line sales. I have no idea myself. I am not even sure we have one in Knoxville.

                    Sure wish we had a Papa Johns here in southern New Mexico, only a Pizza Hut 35 miles away. No, there aren't any Ma and Pa Italian joints around.

                        We had one delivered to the office a while back. After one bite a couple of us looked at each other then threw it away. I suspect that was an aberration but have been afraid to try them again.

                          So what happened yesterday was that all of the stores in Columbus ran out of ingredients and closed up before 5:00. They seriously underestimated the demand and ended up making a lot of people mad (most of which don't care anything about LeBron James). They even had to bring in police to make sure stores weren't vandalized overnight.

                            Sundancer, yes they are in Knoxville.

                            Out of all the chain pizza places, PJ's is the one I find most edible. I know most of you all will disagree with me. But I like it. I still have my "college" tastebuds, maybe that's why.... then again, I don't like I don't like Pizza Hut, Domino's, Little Caesar's, etc. Having said that, I would not wait in line for hours with cheap-pizza-crazed people just to get one of their pizzas for 23 cents. I can't think of anything that would be worth that. LOL

                                What exaclty are you trying to say? This feels like a racist response. This is not the first time I have felt this when reading one of your posts. I asked for a BBQ place near Emerald Isle, NC a few years ago and your repsonse including a warning about black people in the area near the place you recommneded. That post has since been removed. Could you please try to keep your responses to food related topics only.

                                            they're pizzas so bad they have to practiclly give it away.
                                            I wouldn't take it for free.
