Food: 4/5 Service and Setting: 4/5 Value: 4/5 This Papa John’s has been here since my childhood and was singlehandedly the reason why I stopped eating Papa John’s for almost 20 years.A recent addiction to pizza has emerged deep inside me and forced me to again explore Papa John’s.I can now confidently say that within the trinity of fast food pizza, Papa John’s is my favorite for the time being.The restaurant itself was very pleasantly clean and the employees were very nice and addressed me right away.Even though they could not get to me right when I got in, they assured me that they would help me as soon as they could.A very positive experience indeed.Make sure to download the app, use your deals, and double check your order is correct before leaving! Epic Pepperoni-Stuffed Crust Pizza: 4/5 After eating several artisanal pizzas this year, I have come to the conclusion that having a solid pepperoni pizza is its own category.The pepperoni pizza here has a perfect ratio of pepperoni without turning it into a salt bomb.The tomato sauce is a little blander and sweeter than other places, but I think I like that.The cheese is nothing noteworthy, but the most important thing for me is that it is not sharp in any way.The pastry under the pizza is again nothing special but slightly too oily.Overall, it is a very balanced dough that leans on the softer, more tender side of pizza doughs.Finally, that crust.It is super pillowy and seasoned with this buttery garlic glaze.The cheese inside gives it a rich savoriness while the added pepperoni makes it even more delectable.Dipping the crust into that spicy garlic sauce is an almost religious experience, something that everyone in this world needs to try at least once.I really hope that this stays as a permanent item. Spicy Pepperoni Rolls: 4.5/5 These need to be eaten fresh fresh.I recommend going to the restaurant a little early and wait to ensure that you have the freshest rolls.Crispy, cheesy, warm, pillowy, savory, the list goes on and on with these.Imagine the best pretzel bites you have ever had and replace the pastry with pizza and you get these.I felt that the jalapeños were a little heavy handed, but just take one or two out per bite and it is beyond perfect.Spicy garlic sauce or marinara are the ultimate dips.I lowkey like these more than the pizza. Spicy Garlic Sauce: 3.5/5 Ah, the upgraded version of Papa John’s famous garlic sauce.There is this sort of artificial funk in this sauce that I feel gives it a slight toxic inedible edge, haha, but it is so alluring and matches their pizza so well.The vibe is very similar to fake cheese spread or nacho cheese, slightly chemically but impossibly delicious.You can only use this sauce with Papa John’s pizza or else it is inedible.This rendition takes away some of that funk and tones down that sort of artificial creamy flavor thing they got going on and replaces it with spices and a good amount of heat.I can definitely taste more garlic, onion, and chilies in this versus the original.Give it a try at least once, it grows on you.
I bought a Philly cheese Steak Papadilla and breadsticks.... Well, the papadilla, i wondered where the meat was because the picture in the store and on TV looked so much more! The breadsticks were okay a little dry because all the butter fell to bottom and I think got soaked in the box.This was my 1st experience here and its probably my last.The taste was okay but not enough flavor to bring me back.I will say that the customer service was definitely on point 👌 I gave it 3 stars for service alone not the food.
Impossible to get in contact with anyone who works here.Weird automated system for phone calls that directs you to a line that no one picks up.Very frustrating.They delivered our pizza to the wrong address and we can’t even contact anyone to fix it.
