View Full Version : Better Ingredients, Better Pizza, Pappa John's??? No WAY!!! Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 12:58 PM I just tried Pappa John's over the weekend and this slop is horrid! How the heck is this pizza a franchise?!? :puke: Chocoholic 09-06-2009, 01:11 PM I've heard of the chain, but I've never seen one in my area. I prefer pizza from independently-owned restaurants. Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 01:29 PM I've heard of the chain, but I've never seen one in my area. I prefer pizza from independently-owned restaurants. I'm with you, Dominos, Pappa John's all taste like gourmet cardboard. :lol: phoebe7165 09-06-2009, 02:23 PM I just tried Pappa John's over the weekend and this slop is horrid! How the heck is this pizza a franchise?!? :puke: I had heard from other people that it wasn't very good, but my friend's mother loves it. I've only had it when somebody ordered a few pies at work, and I tried it. It wasn't the best, so it certainly wouldn't be my 1st choice when ordering pizza. I don't know how they stay in business, either. There are obviously a large group of people who actually like it. phoebe7165 09-06-2009, 02:26 PM I've heard of the chain, but I've never seen one in my area. I prefer pizza from independently-owned restaurants. I'm with you!! I can eat Domino's & Pizza Hut but there are also Odyssey & Bizzarro's in our area. Odyssey they put tons of mozz on their pizzas, and Bizzarro's sells the huge NY style pieces of pizza.:liplick::rock: comedyfreak 09-06-2009, 03:10 PM I've never been to a Papa Johns and probably won't. Pizza My Heart is pretty good though. MrCleveland 09-06-2009, 03:16 PM Just go with local pizza places. There's this one place that we go to and almost every Saturday we get a pizza there. Mr. Television 09-06-2009, 03:23 PM I love Papa Johns especially with the garlic butter. I just don't get there that often. :lol: catlover79 09-06-2009, 04:15 PM I just tried Pappa John's over the weekend and this slop is horrid!

I love when independent places give themselves cute names. I love word play. There used to be a pizza place in Orlando called Sgt. Pepperoni's. Kinda like the chinese place called "Wok and Roll"!;) Mr. Television 09-06-2009, 04:23 PM My favorite Pizza of all time was Godfathers Pizza. I used to call up a sports radio show in the 1980's and answer the trivia questions and win me free Godfathers Pizza's...maybe I put them out of business. Soon after all the stores in our area closed down and I haven't seen any since. :eek: :lol: phoebe7165 09-06-2009, 04:26 PM My favorite Pizza of all time was Godfathers Pizza.

Can't think of off-hand where exactly I've seen them though. Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 04:39 PM My favorite Pizza of all time was Godfathers Pizza.

I am not sure if it is the same owner though. I just checked their website, They have 3 in PA and the closest one is in Lancaster. I wonder if they'll deliver? :lol: Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 04:44 PM I just checked their website, They have 3 in PA and the closest one is in Lancaster. I wonder if they'll deliver? :lol: :lol: Well if they do, make sure to give the delivery guy a nice tip. ;) phoebe7165 09-06-2009, 04:47 PM I like those names. :D Is Little Ceasar's still around? Yes, Little Ceasar's are still here, there's a few in the Central Fla area. I love their Crazy Bread!!:liplick: Also, can't go wrong with those $5 pizzas. Mr. Television 09-06-2009, 04:50 PM Yes, Little Ceasar's are still here, there's a few in the Central Fla area. I love their Crazy Bread!!:liplick: Also, can't go wrong with those $5 pizzas. I used to love Little Caesar's too but our's closed down about a decade ago. We have a Subway in there now. Mr. Television 09-06-2009, 04:51 PM :lol: Well if they do, make sure to give the delivery guy a nice tip. ;) It would probably cost more than the pizza. :lol: They have none in MD so that isn't an option. Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 04:52 PM It would probably cost more than the pizza. :lol: :lol: very true! Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 04:54 PM Yes, Little Ceasar's are still here, there's a few in the Central Fla area. I love their Crazy Bread!!:liplick: Also, can't go wrong with those $5 pizzas. I remember when they came to New York, I was like their first customer. I was so excited to try their pizza pizza. Man was I disappointed. :lol: Their commercials were hilarious though. Big C 09-06-2009, 05:32 PM I actually like Papa John's. Personally, I think Little Caesars is the worst major pizza place- their cheese is almost non-existent, and it feels like their pizza is really just bread and sauce. They do have good breadsticks and wings, though. PZelda 09-06-2009, 06:22 PM I like those names. :D Is Little Ceasar's still around? One just re-opened in my area last summer... Last summer as in '08. There was one here before that, but they were in two different locations. MickeyMac 09-06-2009, 09:22 PM I like Papa Johns myself. Its good but I think there are better pizza's like Pizza Hut for instance. Here in Kalamazoo there is this great Italian place called Martini's and all of their food is homemade, and their pizza is sensational. Its a bit pricey but so worth it. Wreckless 09-06-2009, 09:25 PM I just tried Pappa John's over the weekend and this slop is horrid! How the heck is this pizza a franchise?!? :puke: I love Papa John's, and Pizza Hut. They taste great. spunkygirl 09-06-2009, 09:28 PM The only pizza places I like where I live are a place called Nick's pizza(damn good) and Fat Cat's pizza. We now have a Little Ceasar's pizza, it's good, but the sauce is a bit too spicy for me(I have acid reflux disease) dawsongirl 09-06-2009, 11:13 PM When I went to college my freshman year, all the people in the dorm went on and on about PJs. I tried it and was like O_o. The breadsticks were burnt pieces of just bread (no seasoning at ALL), the pizza was blah...yeah, the only PJs I've had since was at work because it was free pizza. I like so many other places so much better. dakert 09-06-2009, 11:15 PM Anyone ever hear of Rocky Rococo's Pizza? A slice of Garden of Eatin MMMMmmmm dawsongirl 09-06-2009, 11:16 PM My favorite Pizza of all time was Godfathers Pizza.

Soon after all the stores in our area closed down and I haven't seen any since. :eek: :lol: I like their stuff. They have AWESOME taco pizza. dawsongirl 09-06-2009, 11:18 PM Yes, Little Ceasar's are still here, there's a few in the Central Fla area. I love their Crazy Bread!!:liplick: Also, can't go wrong with those $5 pizzas. We only have one, and it's on the opposite side of town. But I miss crazy bread! Schmoopie 09-06-2009, 11:20 PM I agree with those who said the independent ones are the best. There is a Garlic Jim's by my house that is takeout/delivery only. Not sure if it's independant, but my husband and I only order from there occasionally. We always have to order extra sauce becuase they seem to be pretty stingy with it. Otherwise, I would never order extra sauce on a pizza! Usually, places put too much! I've never tried Papa John's but it's probably just as good as those other chain places, which isn't saying much. However I do like Papa Murphy's. If you go there just before closing, you can get pretty good deals. Brian Damage 09-06-2009, 11:20 PM I love Papa John's, and Pizza Hut. They taste great. You like cardboard? dawsongirl 09-06-2009, 11:22 PM I agree with those who said the independent ones are the best. There is a Garlic Jim's by my house that is takeout/delivery only.

Chocoholic 09-06-2009, 11:35 PM I love homemade pizza when we have the time to make it. My sister's boyfriend's father makes the best pizza. It is just out of this world! No other pizza place can compare to it. Wreckless 09-07-2009, 01:22 AM You like cardboard? :lol: lol no I don't. I don't think it tastes like cardboard though lol. I think the school lunch pizzas tasted like cardboard. PH & PJ's just taste good to me. Some people prefer different things, which is fine. I like any kind of pizza. Independently owned, the chain pizza places I mentioned and anything else. My Dad only likes the independently owned pizzas they make, and likes it paper thin, no thick pizza lol. TVFactFan 09-07-2009, 01:36 AM I just tried Pappa John's over the weekend and this slop is horrid! How the heck is this pizza a franchise?!? :puke: The Pizza is fine the only thing i don't like is the bread sticks. They are too long, remind me of baseball bats-lol Brian Damage 09-07-2009, 02:23 AM The Pizza is fine the only thing i don't like is the bread sticks. They are too long, remind me of baseball bats-lol Taste like them too :lol: ;) catlover79 09-07-2009, 02:25 AM Taste like them too :lol: ;) :rofl: No amount of marinara sauce can hide that. Brian Damage 09-07-2009, 02:54 AM :rofl: No amount of marinara sauce can hide that. :lol: Maybe pine tar? ;) Wreckless 09-07-2009, 06:53 AM The Pizza is fine the only thing i don't like is the bread sticks.

Wreckless 09-07-2009, 06:55 AM :rofl: No amount of marinara sauce can hide that. :lol: Maybe lol phoebe7165 09-07-2009, 12:07 PM Anyone ever hear of Rocky Rococo's Pizza? A slice of Garden of Eatin MMMMmmmm I've heard of Rocky's but have never eated there. There's also a place called Monical's which is mostly in the Ill. area and I think Indiana. Then there's Donato's, which I've seen a few in Ohio. phoebe7165 09-07-2009, 12:09 PM I love Papa John's, and Pizza Hut. They taste great. No offense, but I'd think that since you live in the northeast, you'd have a slew of independent eating establishments, especially pizza places!! Or is that hoagie & cheese steak places I'm thinking of?!!:D phoebe7165 09-07-2009, 12:13 PM I love homemade pizza when we have the time to make it. My sister's boyfriend's father makes the best pizza. It is just out of this world! No other pizza place can compare to it. Actually I like to make homemade pizza, too, but instead of making the crust, I cheat and just buy the Boboli's pizza "shell", pizza sauce, pepperonis, and mozz cheese. Yeah, but I figure, after the money you spend buying all that, you're just better off buying either a pizza already made up from the store or one from a pizza place!!;) Number 9 Dream 09-07-2009, 12:51 PM Papa John's is OK, but only when it's plain. I find their toppings to be HORRIBLE, which sucks because I love a good pepperoni pizza. Dominoes is a better "cheap" pizza. MickeyMac 09-07-2009, 05:45 PM I will take Papa John's over Little Ceasers any day. When I was younger Caesers used to be so good, now they're :barf: Zoneboy 09-09-2009, 07:48 PM Papa John's is stingy with their toppings which is one reason why I don't care for them. The only good thing I can say is that they will deliver to areas that Dominos and Pizza Hut won't. Mr. Television 09-09-2009, 08:16 PM There's a Pizza Hut ad on the top of the page. :lol: steevo 09-09-2009, 09:54 PM ^ Actually they just changed it. It's now an ad for McDonald's Angus third-pound burgers. I don't go for any of the big-chain pizza places. Local is always better.:D Wreckless 09-09-2009, 09:58 PM I had Pizza Hut the other day. I got a side with it, and had 1/2 slices right then and their. lol I wrapped the rest up and stuck it in my fridge (I have a mini fridge in my room but it's too small, otherwise I would of stuck it in their to begin with). I found out my Grandma when she was cleaning out the fridge, must of threw away the perfectly good pizza. lol she must of thought it was old or something. comedyfreak 09-10-2009, 04:13 AM I will take Papa John's over Little Ceasers any day. When I was younger Caesers used to be so good, now they're :barf: I like Little Caeser's Pan Pizza. Sharop 09-10-2009, 06:25 AM I can't say I've ever tried Papa John's, I don't know if we have it in the UK. I like Domino's and Pizza Hut. I also like Pizza Express. Reverend Jim 09-28-2009, 01:42 PM http://i33.tinypic.com/3359izq.jpghttp://i37.tinypic.com/2hf2qtk.jpg\ They're both quite terrible,truthfully.I would only eat either one if I were in a situation where nothing else were available to eat.For my money,I would say that you'd be better off going to independent pizza parlors and stay away from these two huge franchises. |
