When I went to pay for my pizza I killed a small insect on the counter. Not a roach, but a small crawling insect. Paid $35 for carry out large epic stuffed crust Philly cheese steak Pizza. Pizza isn’t bad, but it isn’t great either. Also, they are very, very very stingy with the meat. 1 itty bitty piece of meat per slice. I basically paid $35 for a cheese pizza. At least the stuffed crust is better than round table, but still not at pizza hut level. Basically, I won’t be back. Not sure if other locations are better, but won’t be looking for any in the future. I’ll just drive to South San Francisco to Pizza Hut where I always get a decent pie

We ordered Large The Works. What happened th o the Pizza Sauce? It’s too SWEET, YUK. This is not the Pizza Sauce I come to know Papa John . Pizza Sauce is Pizza Sauce, NOT SWEET and Sour SAUCE..

Regular Papa John pizzeria, with the normal Papa John’s menu. This place does deliver. There is a health code inspection sign on the window stating they passed the inspection, however there are no dates nor a name of the inspector on the sign. The sign is completely blank. Looks fishy. So thread carefully, no information how clean the kitchen actually is!

Placed an order but they did not call to let us know they were here and left it out in the cold. Communication is not there at all.

They delivered to the wrong address and refused to refund me. I called Corporation and they informed me that sense they use DoorDash that I would have to contact DoorDash for my refund. This is totally not acceptable and I recommend no one should order Papa Johns until they take care of there customers

I usually don’t bother with reviewing chains but, my pizza was BAD. I only live half a mile from this location but my pizza and breadsticks came to me lukewarm and SOGGY. They really skimped on the toppings, completely forgot the bacon that I added to my order and forgot extra garlic sauce that I ordered. It wouldn’t be a big deal if the sauce was free but I was charged extra for it. I’ve had Papa Johns from other locations and always had great quality pizzas. Guess that’s not the case here or maybe it’s an off night. 🙁
