I have always loved Papa Jones Pizza until tonight. I ordered a pizza and brownies from Papa Jones on university, and it took them over 1 hour & 45 minutes to deliver. The wait wasn’t even the worst part. The pizza was cold, hard, and so chewy that I couldn’t even eat it. The effect of this one night has turned several years of love into hate.

I had ordered a large pepperoni pizza with cheese crust a couple of days ago end the bread was super hard I didn’t even bother eating it but I also didn’t call the restaurant and let them know or even asked to remake it. Is it possible to get it remade? Is it too late ? Overall I love their pizza, really good and tasty

Watch yourself here, I ordered a two-topping large pizza with a Pepsi for pickup and they tried to charge me $28 for it. When I asked “How does that make any sense?” He conveniently realized there was a $19.99 special instead. I am convinced had I not said anything he would have been more than happy to charge me $28.

Put in a 50 dollar order here for delivery over an hour later and it says our pizza has been delivered…where? Called the store for them to tell me their driver got a flat tire and it’s going to take longer, um ok? Maybe you should call the customer to let them know? pizza finally gets here and of course it’s cold.

The staff was so sweet the moment I came in! Very nice customer service. My friend was sick in the parking lot and they were concerned if she was okay and even gave me some plastic bags for my car in case she threw up again. They were the nicest crew ever! Also the pizza was fresh and so delicious! We ordered pizza and garlic knots with garlic sauce!! So amazing!!

Love papa John’s my favorite is the MEATs they mAnaged to put about every type of meat that you can think of on just one pizza the slice is to be served on a plate paired with a knife and fork being that it’s so meaty if held just regular the slice would just fall over and and fold from all over he meat 🙂
