Definitely not Papa John’s. It is the loosest definition of pizza. Below even Chicago Deep Dish.
My favorite Papa John’s memory (because if you’re an American, you’ve been forced to eat this slop at some point) is we had an On Call shift for NCAA events (I worked at a sports site) so they ordered us pizzas, donuts, salads, the spread since we’d be there until 3am. This was three days after Papa John himself had to resign for saying gamer words. His face, prominently featured on all the boxes, had been replaced by a “Now Hiring” sticker in an inconsistent manner, which led me to believe the employees at the kitchen had some feelings about the guy…
I live in poland and Papa Johns has recently opened a few restaurants here but nobody wants to eat this hyperprocessed trash when the local joints (some run by Italians) are so much better for the same price.
Even local corporate pizza franchises are way ahead of any american ones like Papa Johns, Domino’s or Pizza Hut in quality.
I’ve had lots of good pizza in the US, almost exclusively from independent places that serve NY Slice/Detroit/Neapolitan, and only one from a chain that’s even close to decent: Blaze Pizza, which goes for a neapolitan-style in a fast casual setting. That’s about it.
That “pizza” explains why Americans call it pie.
You people eat this mess and call it pizza?
It looks fucking diseased.
Fuck no.
Sincerely,
New York
Papa John’s tastes like despair and has the consistency of moldy cardboard.
With all due respect,
Texas
Thank heavens for Home Slice.

Which we all know is actually a casserole.
Tomato soup in a bread bowl.

I guess americans just can’t make good pizza.
No, giant American corporations cant make good pizza, I can assure you we’ve got plenty of local joints all over that can rival yours

The versions of pizza known to everyone outside of Italy were invented in America. Papa Johns is just crap.
That’s what I’m saying. Americans/american corporations bastardised italian pizza so much it’s become pizza only technically, by definition.
It technically has the same ingredients as pizza but none of them are fresh so the taste is just wrong.
Plenty of places offer fresh ingredients. People often try OG Italian pizza and find they don’t like it.
The worst local slice in NYC is better than any corporate chain bullshit.
