DiGiorno Trolls Papa Johns After NFL Comments

Let the pizza wars begin.

Frozen pizza brand DiGiorno took to Twitter on Wednesday to troll Papa John's, after the company's CEO claimed NFL leadership and player protests during the national anthem hurt their pizza sales.

DiGiorno continued with another Papa John's diss, taking aim at the company's tagline, "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Papa John's."

Yeah, their pizza sucks. But they also treat their employees like dirt. The folks working in their stores are completely disposable and they know it.

Having a loud mouthed, racist right wing troll running the company doesn't do anything for morale, either.

I refuse to buy pizza from right wing jerks like Papa John's or Dominoes.

In fact, DiGiorno is the frozen pizza I buy. Recently, I started adding toppings to their frozen pizza, and it was pretty good! I saute whatever
I'm going to add and then put it on the pizza in the oven for the last 5 minutes.

Cheeto looks so young in that photo though; I think he's been morphing into his former associate, Fat Tony Salerno.

I think I added extra cheese.

The last time I had Papa Johns was decades ago. I guess it was good.

I don't eat much pizza.

Papa Johns as RW org that needed boycotting was made clear ages ago. Sorry to hear many liberals didn't know that, but with $ being sacred to the RWers, seems only reasonable give them as little of it as possible.

A total RWNJ asshole as CEO and the fact that their pizza is shit, has been shit and most likely will continue to be shit is why their sales are tanking. With so many pizza choices available why would any decent, pizza craving person order the shit that Papa John's is?
And btw, DiGiorno's is pretty damn good for frozen. I like Freschetta too.

check labels/packaging before accidentally supporting them. TNestle have unfortunately taken over a lot of products that I used to enjoy.

dude screws over his workers of course, but he apparently doesn't even know his customers, or his competitors. There are many better options everywhere. Most local independent pizzerias are better.

I don't like frozen pizza either, I just enjoy the trolling.

Ironically, "job creators" like this would benefit from Medicare for all.
