I like a good pizza and for years I preferred Papa john’s over Pizza Hut and Dominos…..I just like their pizza…..well all that good feelings was crushed last year when good ol boy John was caught bitching about Obamacare and that it would cost 12 cents per pizza more to furnish health care to his employees……that just hit me wrong after hearing how much this a/hole spends for ads on the Super Bowl and he bitches about 12 cents…..personally, he can add the 12 cents to my pizza if it would help his employees out….but since I stopped using Papa’s it is a moot point…..but there is more about good old honest Papa John and his pizzas….

Many fast food chains, like McDonald’s, Taco Bell and Subway, do voluntarily provide them, in part for indemnity against lawsuits and in part because they realize some of their customers actually want to know what they’re eating.
But not Papa John’s. They’ve decided it’s better to keep their ingredients a secret. You won’t find any information about them on either the company’s website or in stores. Charlie, the friendly and accommodating employee who took my order for a small cheese pizza at my local Papa John’s in Boulder, Colo., told me that he didn’t know what the pizza ingredients were. “I think they’re listed on the website,” he said, making a reasonable assumption.
When I called Papa John’s customer toll free number, I was told that for “additional information on allergen or nutritional info” I should leave a message with Connie Childs, who would return my call the next business day. I left two messages, but Connie never called. Public relations wasn’t much help either. My emails and voicemails went unanswered. Only Charlie offered a few thoughts about what exactly makes Papa John’s pizza “better.”
“We get deliveries in every three days, so nothing that’s in the fridge is more than a few days old. And we form the dough here. It doesn’t come ready to go, though it is made in a central facility and then frozen,” he said, offering a slightly different version of the story than what’s printed on the pizza boxes.
Not only is he cheesy but dishonesty makes him sleazy also…….anything to add?
Off topic, but you will find this amusing. At least these Teapublicans admit they’re biased:

But they will not admit that they admitted it……
Hahaa!
Typical conserv..,.look at Obamacare,,,it was their idea originally….
I vote with my pocketbook, and therefore never buy Papa Johns. Looks so sincere in his ads, but is probably an asshole.
Hansi, I am the same way……this jerk has seen the lat of my cash…..
“But not Papa John’s. They’ve decided it’s better to keep their ingredients a secret.”
It’s probably safe to say there’s a shit-load full of salt and high fructose corn syrup in there. The reason you like most foods over others is the selective ingredients they pinpoint through conjoint analysis to develop what commercial food scientist call the optimum, or “bliss” point.

Bliss point – In the formulation of food products using food optimization, the bliss point is the amount of an ingredient such as salt, sugar, or fat which optimizes palatability
Larry, but it is soooooo good……lol
Exactly. Mission Accomplished 😉
Yep….but I do my own from scratch….it is soooooooooooo good.
“but I do my own from scratch… “
We do too except for the crust. We purchase the Kabuli Pizza crust at the store which has no dairy in it.
Actually I use real pitas for the crust and add my roasted veggies and gobs of cheese, mostly goat, feta….ok I be hungry now…..lol
The owner of Papa John is against “Obama Care”….
Don, I watched him and listen to his reasoning……like Hansi has stated….”he is an asshole”…..
