im not a papa johns fan but one of my kids is so when he wants pizza its papa johns unless the rest want it to then we hit dominos.

I can't say it made me physically ill but it always disappointed. I won't even eat it for free now.


I got a local independent by my house that does great pizza. And stromboli. And zeppoles.

But then again, so do most pizzas...

I'm a Round Table fan myself...

Can't stand it...

It's all my wife eats when it comes to pizza.

If you like having the trots, go for it!

I have no idea what they are. The squirts?

I gave up eating papa johns a long time ago. Like I said, it makes me feel sick.

We mostly get the frozen kind, otherwise it's Papa Murphy's. We also have Pizza my Heart (yummy) and a Round Table. I haven't been in the latter in over a decade.

Fortunately we have local pizza shops in the area - much better pizza than the massive chains.

It's just pizza in the most academic of senses: Round dough ( too airy ) bland tomato sauce ( and too sweet too ) and tasteless rubbery cheese. I mean, you can hold a slice from the crust end and it won't droop. "Real" pizza is somewhat greasy and the slice has to be folded over to keep the tip from drooping, and the crust is not quite crispy, the bottom being just slightly charred. The cheese should be real mozzarella and in most cases has a taste that tends to linger in the mouth.

One thing is clear; with real pie you sure as hell shouldn't need to drown it in that processed garlic sauce. Lord only knows what's in that!

We get pizza from the local place. It's delish.

After a few times of ordering the cheese-sticks and feeling terrible I decided to try the a philly-cheesesteak papadilla.

I get something similar to an extreme, excruciating indigestion from eating papa johns. I am ALSO allergic to penicillin.

I eat pizza from everywhere and have no problems, only with Papa Johns. I've seen in a few scattered posts and threads that there are others that have similar problems and wish I knew what the real problem was.

about Papa Johns's I remember how this person on TV ads now, I assume CEO=CFO, reacted when President Obama was running for POTUS. A pure racist in my book. {Pizza may be tasty, but his evil left a foul taste and smell. I never ordered again.
