Verified Reviewer |Terrible pizza
This pizza was ordered for a resident of an assisted living facility. He stated is was the worst pizza he has ever had. No flavor and very few toppings.
Reduction in size
I ordered a medium pizza from papa Johns as I have many times before. I got the pizza home and it looked like a small pizza cut into 8 pieces.
I thought someone gave me the wrong pizza. A month later I ordered the same pizza. Same results.
They reduced the size and not the price. I will never go to papa Johns again.
User's recommendation: If you want your moneys worth, don’t go to papa John’s.

Verified ReviewerNot a good pizza anymore
- - Pizza is thin and toppings cost more.
- - They replaced drivers and use DoorDash.
- - Delivery fees push up the bill.
- - Crust looks burnt cardboard.
Thin as can be you have to pay extra to put on more stuff otherwise it's junk. They got rid of there drivers and now use doordash.
On top of the big bill you have to pay for delivery now a total ripoff. Turn your pizza over and look at the crust it looks like burnt cardboard.
Just yuck. They would have to pay me to eat there again.
- No pros
- This as a sheet of metal
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified Reviewer |Very dissatisfied with the advertising
- - Ordered two pizzas via Uber Eats, paid about $50, but only received one.
- - Manager refused remedy for order 3E014 and said to call the store next time.
Don’t expect a manager to do anything about your problem expect to be double charged for one pizza when you order a two for one
Don’t expect a manager to do anything about your problem expect to be double charged for one pizza when you order a two for one
That says 833-275-****. This was ordered through Uber Eats, and the girl driving the car gave me one pizza. I called the manager for the popular store in Memphis and talked to him personally, and he said there was nothing that he could do about it and that the next time I wanted a pizza, I should call them and not Uber. That was the solution I got.
I ordered two pizzas.
I paid almost $50 for them, and I got one pizza. My cell number is 615-642-****.
- Delicious pizza
- Absolutely deceptive advertising
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Do not buy one and get one free and use Uber. Also do not buy one and get one free unless you called the store first because they will double charge you and you’ll get one pizza.
Unacceptable Behavior
- - Attendant on a video call laughed and did not acknowledge me.
- - He claimed to be busy, told me to get out, and used rude language toward me.

Attendant on the phone in a video call laughing and having a great time while I am waiting for my order. He never acknowledged I am there and I call his attention, and he says "I know you are here I am busy, and I don't give a *** if you are here or not" I said, at least acknowledge I am here by saying I will be right with you, but instead he told me "Get the *** out of here -- I don't *** care" then he told the person he was on the phone with "This *** guy is here to p/u and order, and he don't see I am *** busy, what the *** Then I asked to respect me, and he said "shut the *** up, I don't give a damn, Go ***

Verified ReviewerSubject: Complaint Regarding Scheduled Order Automatically Converted to Immediate Delivery
- - May 15: scheduled delivery became immediate after Back.
- - It arrived earlier than planned, causing inconvenience.
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding an issue I experienced with a scheduled delivery order through the Papa John's mobile application.
On May 15, I placed a scheduled delivery for [insert order name or details] and completed the payment. However, when I tried to add an additional item by tapping the Back button, the system unexpectedly canceled the scheduled setting and converted it into an immediate delivery without any warning or confirmation.
As a result, the food arrived significantly earlier than intended, disrupting our meal schedule and causing considerable inconvenience. This situation was neither expected nor caused by user error. I strongly believe it is a flaw in the app's design or functionality.
I contacted your customer support team, but unfortunately received only a generic response without any resolution or offer of compensation.
I kindly request the following:
1. A clear explanation and acknowledgment of this system error
2. A formal apology for the inconvenience caused
3. Appropriate compensation (such as a refund or coupon)
4. Improvement of your ordering system to prevent similar incidents, including clear user alerts when modifying scheduled orders
I have attached a screenshot of the order confirmation and delivery time as supporting documentation. I look forward to your prompt and professional response.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Order #14187****

Customer service be very bad
- - A worker wearing a uniform with no name tag mistreated me.
- - We waited about 30 minutes.
- - He argued with me and overcharged.
I was mistreated by a worker with no name tag and the uniform. He kept making us wait, standing there for 30 minutes.
Then he started arguing with me instead of taking my order. He kept responding to me rudely and made me overpay.
Preferred solution: I need for someone to call me to ask me what’s going on.
User's recommendation: 0/10 wouldn’t recommend the coworker but Papa John’s is good.

Verified Reviewer |One too many horrible experiences
- - Hopeful about Papa John's, but the pizza disappoints again.
- - They plan to speak up and seek a fix.
Every. Single.
Time. It always starts with, 'You know, pizza sounds good. But I'm exhausted from working all day and sitting in traffic for so long, so getting into a car doesn't sound too thrilling. Nothing delivers here except Papa John's.
Wait a second...we could get that!' A little spark of hope starts to build in the box you've locked away in your brain carrying all the disappointed memories you've ever had of Papa John's. 'Hm, maybe, just maybe, Papa John's will get it right this time! It could happen!' From this point on, I shall be referred to as Positive Polly because there's no way someone can ruin something so simple for the 115th time! You wait, excitedly imagining 5-star chefs masterfully tossing the pizza dough.
Evenly spreading the tomato sauce, because, hey, maybe this round of employees actually care! Sprinkling the cheese (not too much, but not too little!). Layering the pepperoni slices so perfectly it could be framed and hung in the museum of art! You giggle a little to yourself because, well, dreams right?
You see they are out to deliver. Glance out of the window every 5 minutes, but don't stare! You're not a weirdo! You're just hungry, relax!
They park, walk up to the front door, ring the doorbell. You greet them with such enthusiasm you surprise yourself. 'Who's that?! Is that me?!
Is that… MY voice?!' You giggle again and the delivery person just gives you a blank stare. You take the pizza box, making sure to not move too fast, keeping it exceptionally balanced and say goodbye. Put the box on the counter ever so slowly as not to disturb its contents. You open the box.
And step into the first stage of the emotional pizza roller coaster: denial/shock. 'No. No! No no no no no.
There's no way! It's not true! This… this is supposed to be MY pizza! A masterpiece hung in a museum!' Then the anger sets in.
'I hate Papa John's!! They're always terrible!! I just want to scream! Put the glass down, the glass didn't do this, the glass does not need to be smashed!' But then the worst stage hits.
Repentance. 'Why do I do this to myself! To think it would be different this time. To think they've actually changed!
I'm such a silly person!' Then, as you wipe your empty tears away, you finally realize you've hit the last stage, empowerment (with a tiny speckle of revenge lingering in the background). 'Someone has to hear.
The word has been out, but we can't just give up! We must take a stand and they must make this right!
- List is too long
Preferred solution: For the love of all things lovable! Just actually DO something to make this place and ALL locations better!!!
User's recommendation: Just don’t. Even when you think you want it, you really, deep down, don’t.

Verified ReviewerMy order
- - A $55 order was confirmed quickly with a 23-minute delivery.
- - It hadn't arrived for nearly an hour and showed as canceled with no notification.
I ordered $55 worth of items. One minute after ordering I received confirmation of the order.
Two mins after I ordered I received confirmation that door dash would be delivering my order in 23 minutes. Almost an hour later my order still has not arrived. I go online to track it and it says it has been cancelled. With no heads up, no phone call, no text, no email that my order has been cancelled.
I work for Live Nation and order from papa Johns very frequently, I get it as hospitality for bands that play in the venues.
I will not spend one more time on this unprofessional company, never again. This is awful service and you dont deserve my money or any other patrons for that matter.
User's recommendation: Do not order from here

Verified ReviewerNever got my refund.
- - Dasher didn't follow instructions; delivered to the wrong person, with a promise of remake and refund.
- - Remake arrived cold; no refund issued.
I have placed an order and it had got passed down to DoorDash. And the Dasher didnt follow the instructions and gave it to someone else in the apartment building.
And I was told that I would get the order remade and a full refund since I had already been waiting a hr and a half.
Received the remake. That was completely cold and no refund
- Good service
- Just this one thing
Preferred solution: I want my refund, but as a gift card or something. I love papa John’s and want to just get my order and be satisfied…
User's recommendation: Depends on how my issue is handled.

User's recommendation: Not saying anything to others, only letter business know their pizza dough is FAKE! Not CHEWABLE.
