    I promised my team I would buy Pizza today (Friday) as a thank you for their hard work. I saw Pizza Hut had 50% off but Papa John's had a BOGO deal. I chose Papa Johns and paid $29. If it were not a BOGO deal I wouldn't be complaining. But $29 for a BOGO pizza deal is insane!!! Too pricey. Last time I buy Papa Johns.

    I placed a delivery order at Papa John's located on 529 Stanley Avenue Brooklyn, New York 11207 at approximately 12:50 pm on January 4, 2018. Although Papa John's is less than five blocks away from my residence, I still have not received my order and the time now is 5:00 pm. The delay in service was extensive. When I tried to contact a customer service representative at the store number (718) 272-7272 it took two-three hours of non-stop calling before someone even answered. The person whom I spoke to was unapologetic when I requested to cancel my order. They kept me on hold for 30 minutes when I shared my experience and that I would like a refund. I now, have to call my credit card company to ensure this purchase does not go through because they were not helpful. I would only buy from this place if I loved being treated less than a dog. Where is the humanity?

    I called to order a pizza tonight. The young man answering was a bit short. We're seniors and don’t need a lot of pizzas. I asked about special offers and his answer was buy one get one free. Not for us so I asked what a medium Hamburger pizza would cost delivered. He said $18 and I replied that it sounded a bit pricey for a one topping. With a little rudeness he said that’s what they cost. I told him the last order was wrong so I would just call someone else. Called Pizza Hut and got a large two topping with an order of breadsticks for $16.50. The pizza was just the way we ordered and tasted great. Sorry Papa John's but we won't call a third time.

    Dec. 23rd 9 pm. Ordered a large pepperoni & mushroom pizza delivered to my home. Began eating it about 10:30 pm. Around 1:30 am, I awoke & started vomiting. My son who also ate the pizza began vomiting about 2:30 am. We both continued with vomiting & diarrhea for several more hours. We will never eat a Papa John's pizza again.

    Well first off my first order they said was going to take over an hour so I cancelled it and they said I could get a free one. So I called to get my free delivery and they couldn’t do it so I just paid and then it got to my house. I was eating my second piece and I found a long brown hair cooked into it and immediately stopped and threw the rest away. It was absolutely disgusting!!!!

    Tonight my order was delivered missing one pizza sauce cup. It wasn’t a huge deal, but I did pay hard earned money for it. I called the store to have the missing cup brought out to me and after an hour, nothing came. I called again and the manager said that I was lying because he boxed my food himself (and apparently he never makes mistakes). He would not give me my missing food item. I consider this theft. The manager was also very rude and condescending. This was at the Cliff Road location in Eagan, MN. Stay far away from this location or even Papa John’s altogether.

    After waiting 3 hours 12 mins on my pizza, I made a second call and spoke with Pam that advised me my pizza was delivered to a couple that explained to the delivery driver as well as Pam they didn’t order a pizza. No call was made to me to inform me of the mix-up and yet I was told she would cancel the order so I could make another one however, the delivery time would be another hour wait. This should never happen to a customer. I’ve had nothing but problems when ordering from this store and yet I still support the business. This was the last time I EVER use them again!

    The delivery fee needs to be explained and stated for what it is, a farce! The driver doesn't get it, and there's NO difference in what the store has to do to get the pizza to me. I tip the drivers $5.00 for each pie delivered. But, adding $3.98 (after tax) as a delivery fee is highway robbery and is just dishonest when the driver isn't getting it and you didn't have to do anything else to get my pizza in the box before the driver takes it? The fee started at $2.00, and quickly climbed to $3.75 within a couple years? I'm done with being cheated!! How crooked and despicable can you possibly be to gouge customers for a FAKE fee? START BEING HONEST!! Either remove the fee or itemize what it's for and where it goes!! Crooks!

    This the last time that we order from this place. Their Pizza quality and poor service have ruined the brand name in Bahrain. The people responsible for taking the complaints in are totally irresponsible and careless. Imagine you order something and they delivered something else (wrong topping) and they expect you to consume it by force. i.e. they tell you, no problem, just wait, we correct your order after two hours. Is this a logical solution for a mistake they did? No MORE PAPA JOHNS IN FUTURE.

    Continued bad treatment of a loyal customer by 1 manager. I have been using Papa John's for 20 years for many occasions. The store on State Street in Atlanta is the one we have used consistently for 6 years, despite horrible service at times. We have had drivers vandalize our vehicles, insult us and our neighbors, and threaten my girlfriend. The last two years have been better, real good actually. Timely delivers, good drivers. But now this GM is a problem too. He is enabling bad service and a horrible shift manager to continue working there, named Kinsey.

    We had a driver unable to get through the gate to our complex. Yes, there is a sign right there that tells you what to do, and of course no driver has a problem with it. But this kid did, and was very rude about it. Called me 9 times to tell me the gate didn't work. I called the Papa John's to complain about getting my phone blown up by this driver. What did Kinsey do? Instead of sending me a new order like the other managers would, she cancelled my order!

    There have been two other times this horrible manager screwed us out of an order and cost me money and made kids very unhappy. The latest incident was inexcusable. I placed an online delivery order. After an hour of nothing, I called. I was told it was on its way. 30 minutes later, still nothing, I called back. Another girl assure me it had left at 3:19 PM, at this point it is 4:00. Then this Kinsey clown gets involved again. And what does she do - you got it - cancelled the order again. In fact she said it was never made. So these people lied to me and wasted my time, with an end result being a long time loyal customer getting screwed out of a meal and having their schedule impacted.

    I had the district manager apologize to me (Dontcho) profusely the last time, gave me a free pizzas. But he didn't do anything about the main problem - this Kinsey. I have had neighbors complain about her as well. It is very unfortunate Papa John's has fallen so far down the tubes when it comes to quality and customer service. They are no longer loyal to customers who have been very loyal to them, even putting up with mistakes. I will never do business with them again. And I am spreading the word as to how screwed up this location has become. There is no excuse for this type of conduct in business. All I ever did was order a meal and ask why I am the one penalized because of drivers not being able to find addresses or get through gates.

    It's been a few different times now that I have called requesting side items with my order (ranch, garlic butter, etc.), and each time I've only received one side when I specifically asked for 2 or more and insisted I pay for the extra ones. When calling requesting for extra side items, I've gotten nothing but rude attitudes from the late night shift workers.

    I've had a number of Papa John's pizzas in the past and the quality has been good. The last couple of pizzas I've got using an email "Special" not to mention the specials they have listed online and tried them both. This last one that I ordered today was the worst of them all, an extra large 2 topping pizza for $11 which is more than half off their regular price. Here's what I've noticed... When you order a pizza and pay the regular price, it covered plenty of toppings but when you order the "Special" it's half the price but also half the toppings... So it's not a very good pizza. They say you get what you pay for but this last one was ridiculous... I'd rather have Little Caesars over a Papa John's Special.

    My husband (Demetrius **) ordered pizza from this facility on 8/11/17. We received the pizza between 5 pm and 6 pm. It was half pepperoni and half meat-lovers. Around 5:30 AM I awoke vomiting and my husband proceeded shortly after me. Unfortunately for us, our wedding was the following day (8/12/17) at 4 pm. I contacted the facility, and the manager offered me a refund for our meal but continued to haggle me that what we experienced was not food poisoning. With the help of saltine crackers and **, we made it through the wedding (there was no reception, no alcohol) later that evening and the day after we both had severe diarrhea (at this point we had consumed little or no food because the pizza had obviously severely poisoned us). It is now 8/16/17, and while my husband is feeling well, I am still recovering from the trauma of this poisoned pizza. I am now having a food aversion to all meat.

    I am contacting the facility so that it does not happen to anyone else. The manager stated that if someone contacted the facility within 24 hours of my request and said they were food poisoned as well he would do something about it (what that means I have no idea). I believe he did not care how ill my husband and I were and how frustrating for it to happen the night before the wedding. Food borne illnesses can occur in less than 24 hours. I am currently pursuing a Master's of Healthcare Quality and Safety at my local university and I am just astonished at how the situation was handled. It seems the manager did not care and only bantered back and forth with me about how there was NO possible way my illness could have come from the facility instead of on trying to combat the issue at hand. I hope this reaches the appropriate persons so that others will be treated better and the situation can be handled more respectfully.

    We placed an online order 3 days ago and ordered 2 pizzas The Works and the new XL Pepperoni. Went to pick them up and we made the mistake on online order which we wanted both extra large pizza to feed friends and family so when I seen the pizzas I explained I orders XL works and XL pepperoni. They said no problem, they will make us new ones. So as we sat there at Papa John's on Greenbush Lafayette Indiana we seen that there was a lot of call backs on orders that they actually made a mistake on orders placed. The girl answering the phone told them about the problems. He said, "tell them if they don't bring the uneaten pizza back they won't replace them." Then he said, "we're already low on cheese and other toppings we lost."

    Well back to our story after our pizza was done we took them home and my granddaughter said, "Papa this pepperoni is way too spicy" and started to cry. Then other family members said the same thing and after opening both pizzas that cost us over $25 there was no topping, very little and a lot of bread. Thank God there was a friend there that just graduated from college and wanted to take the pepperoni pizza to have test ran on it and by just looking at the pizza we seen a lot of pepper flakes crushed up. After we confirm the test will be contacting a lawyer.

    I ordered the pizza based on the website advertisement. I chose pepperoni and sausage. When I arrived I did open the box and peeked inside. Besides I had two more stops before returning home. When I arrived home, the topping were very skimpy with some slices only having 2-3 pieces of meat, and the crust was tough. Because I live 16 miles away - I decided to resolve the situation on my own by adding more toppings. It was the first time I have ordered in months, and it will be longer before I ever do again.

    This is the second chance I gave Papa John's, both times the pizza was overpriced and poor quality. I ordered a Garden Fresh large pizza, it took a long time for it to come and once it came it had very little vegetables on it and very little cheese. As much as they charge they should make sure that what they send out in worth what they are charging. The pizza was missing most of the toppings it was suppose to come with and the little toppings that managed to make it on the pizza were very sparse and right in the center of the pizza. For dang near $30 for one pizza they need to put better effort in the product. I will never order from them again. The worst quality and quantity from a pizza chain! Papa John's should be put out of business. False advertising or poor training for those that work for them, maybe both are the issue. I got no receipt even though I asked for one.

    We ordered a double XXL pizza. They asked what we wanted on it, and we said pepperoni & extra cheese. We waited for our order. After it came we discovered not only was there no extra cheese, there was sausage on it. We called and told them about the problem, so they said that they'd have another one right out. When that one came it was the EXACT SAME PIZZA. We were then told that all XXL pizza's come like that, but the sticker clearly says extra cheese & extra pepperoni, minus Italian sausage. (+ Extra Cheese, - Italian Sausage, + Pepperoni).

    If all XXL pizzas come like that, it would have been nice to know because we would have ordered differently. Now we have 2 pizzas that nobody here is going to eat, and we're out almost $26. How is this our fault, and can we get a refund? We used to like Papa Johns, but it appears quality and customer service are a thing of the past. How in the world is this our fault???

    I ordered a pie sometime in April after already having issues in the past such as: unable to process order online, card won't take, food never arriving, being hung up on when you call, driver wants me to meet him outside to pick up order, perpetually late, rude and verbally abusive drivers, etc. What can I say they are often late, But never again after this one! The pizza was delivered so late I had even forgotten I ordered, took me a minute to answer the door and what I was greeted with were erratic shouts and screams and I just wanted him to leave asap, being single I was startled and felt fearful, but I let it go. I noticed my card was not charged a day or two later and I called corporate to inform them along with filing a complaint on the driver.

    A complaint was filed, no one got back to me and I thought nothing of it since I believed I did my due diligence; until a detective reaches out to me yesterday, months later. I give the detective all the information and instead it seems, he is simply trying to make a quota; he did not care about the truth or justice. Corporate Office could not reply as to why no one got back to me other than deflecting as to why did I never follow-up; furthermore, they expressed the Corona store is a franchise and I should try to attempt calling them directly first. Great, what happens when you call and they tell you that it is the wrong number??? The franchise owner information given to me by corporate is not correct, what does that mean?

    It is only now after being personally targeted for something I did not do that I notice Grubhub and Yelp have multiple negative reviews about drivers at that specific store, Consumer Affairs has 268 complaints on file, PapaJohns.pissedconsumer.com has 746 complaints on file. I am extremely disheartened to find myself mistreated not once by Papa Johns, not twice, but to now be implicated criminally over a $20 pizza pie as if I am trash or that my character would ever reflect such a tacky demeanor. I will fight for justice for this mistreatment!

    Do you think I will ever order Papa John's again? The business will grow if you maintain quality. I didn't tell you to give discounts. It was not even a pizza, it was a flat bread. Only the ranch sauce was visible over the bread. The Papa John's Pizza was made by someone called Micheal. During summer break, Domino's also give discounts, but their quality is consistent. Maybe my expectation is very high for you, till now I considered Papa John's as the same standard as Domino's and that is why I am complaining. It took one moment to prove your pizza quality.

    I visit Papa John's frequently on Fridays before I go home after getting off at two p.m. Because where I moved to there is no Papa John's and Greensburg is a 40-minute commute. On May 12th I ordered two pizzas as I always do for my extremely small family of my daughter and I. I always ask about any specials then proceed to my order. The person on the phone told me about a special of two pizzas for about 6.99 which I got. The only reason we get two is because sometimes we like different things on them. One with pepperoni and one with ham and pineapple. Upon driving home and picking up my daughter who was "Eating on the run" because of ballet I opened the pizza box in the car and tried pulling it apart. Noticing there was no way I was going to be able to eat it because it was not cut the whole way through and also cut very poorly as in size.

    A little frustrated I called the store to resolve the matter and the manager who I spoke to said that he did not cut them and that the driver did. But that he would replace them next time I was in. Well today May 19th I stopped in as a last minute decision and told the person working that I would like to pick up my replacement pizzas... After I stood there for about seven minutes with no greeting as the two workers were nonchalantly talking and walking around which I assumed had been going on awhile since the guy before me seemed pretty irritated rolling his eyes several times. He also had a mouth full of whatever. He told me he did not see it in the computer however he believes me and would make them.

    I went next door to check out some movies then shortly came back. Upon returning he told me he had called the general manager and I was only owed one pizza. I told him that it was two. He argued with me as if I would lie about a six dollar pizza. Very unprofessional. After going back and forth with him as he walked away from me making smart remarks I then asked him if he could pull up in the computer where he printed my old receipt. The receipt said one extra large pizza for 14 dollars and some odd change. I actually have pictures of the pizza with dates and times on my iPhone because it was so poorly made which I completely forgot in the heat of the moment being so upset because I would've showed them to him and the other worker who thought it was amusing and added his two cents to the argument that pursued.

    He asked me would I argue with someone at my job because I was in uniform and I work in customer service and I told him absolutely not because my company would NEVER question a customer or attack them the way I was attacked. I told him to give me the one so that I may leave and donate the other one. I am extremely upset by this and will NEVER return or recommend them to anyone. It's truly sad because I believe Papa John's has the best-tasting pizza around but the customer service was terrible.

    If he can pull up a week old receipt then I'm sure they can pull up a week old video and watch me carry two pizzas out. I do not like to made out to be a liar and the incident has me infuriated. I did not see name tags however the main guy that I was talking to had said "Burke". I really think he needs to learn the definition of customer service so that he NEVER speaks to anyone else the way I was spoken to. I included a picture of the pizza that was poorly cut and that he tried to tell me had all three ingredients on it including pepperoni.

    On 4/7/17 I've purchased 2 pies from Papa John's location at Far Rockaway, 4901 Beach Channel Dr, NY 11691 tel 718-945-7272. As soon as we got home all 3 kids age from 10-14 and myself started to eat. A few moments later I was alerted by my daughter that she had pulled out her mouth long/sharp metal shaving and placed it on white (NOT Papa John's) napkin and breaking it into 3 pieces. As soon as I found out about these findings I have called Papa John's store and requested to speak with Mgr. Person (**) was talking to me stated - "it must be from a can"- asked for pizza back with metal shavings so he could (sent it to his office from inspection) and offered a replacement.

    I contacted local authorities and EMS since they have more experience with this type of dangerous situations, as well I contacted my son's friend mother so she could talk to her son. After assurance and instructions from EMS personnel, I went back to the store. As promised over the phone, pizza pie was handed to me but Mgr had said through the employee that he has no time to talk to me and will call me later.

    My persistent finally paid and Mgr had come to talk to me quickly pushing conversation away from the front desk to the front of the store. Quickly he started denying talking to me and any knowledge of metal shavings in my pies. He insinuated the pizza was in my possession between time WE picked it and home - he said about us making stops??? On our way home, then he stated that- "Papa John's DOES NOT USE ANY METAL CANS for their pizza sauce -but plastic bags".

    I asked for Mgr full name and refund, he provided his but had mentioned but NOT disclose another "2" mgr's so I asked him if he was the one present at the time I made a call and he admitted to that as well return my cost of original order. I walked out the store just to calling him back and coming for brought leftover alongside with metal shavings we have found, while on the phone Mgr. ** stated - it's in the garbage (apparently there was no intention of inspecting it). As I walked back to the main counter I spotted/observed rack filled with metal cans in the back of the store. I have asked for pizza leftovers alongside with metal shaving for evidence just in case my kids got sick and it was necessary to know what foreign material there were in the pizza.

    Mgr, ** finally got clear plastic bag vigorously shaking it down as he walked toward me. When I asked him about this metal cans I saw in the back he was speechless. Later that night I called my children pediatrician just to make sure and what symptoms I should pay close attention to. We will NOT buy from this place - especially when this rude and unsympathetic mgr work there! Upon arrival at home, I took some pictures and retrieved evidence from a bag.

As I was breaking it apart it's seem doughy so I proceeded to eat it. As I was chewing the cheese was so much that I actually thought it was dough. I told him I could not eat a lot of cheese. As I was chewing and swallowing I actually threw up. It was covered with thick cheese. The flatbread was nowhere to be seen. It was horrible. When I removed most of the pepperoni there was only cheese and sauce. I couldn't continue eating it. It probably most definitely make me sick.

Refund never posted back to my CC and will be disputing it with my CC company. I will never be a patron for such business again. Lastly, when I told the manager I would be contacting headquarters he laughed and stated "all they're gonna do is forward me the email for me to call you back and offer you a free pizza".

Had I been told from my first or even second call that there was a 2-hour delay I would've picked it up.

I never got my order, was misled on 3 occasions and of course have not received my refund of $28. Having moved here from Colorado and NEVER run into anything anywhere near this problem anywhere else I have to assume it's this store in particular that does not have it together at all.

    Sunday, 29 January 2017. 16:00 to 17:00 hrs. EST. I went online to PapaJohns.com and ordered my X-Large "Meats" pizza and an order of their Stuffed Cheese Sticks, with delivery and tax it came to $30.75. The website said it was going to be 30 to 40 minutes, I live 2 (TWO) blocks away from the store. After 45 minutes I called the store and they said that the delivery "Just went out the door." 15 minutes later, I got a call from my downstairs neighbor saying that the delivery guy was here, according to my downstairs neighbor the driver asked about me and never got out of his car. I called up the store, the man stated that the driver called my cell phone, and he and one other person there called my phone and that it went straight to voice mail, MY phone doesn't "go straight to voicemail" unless it is shut off, which it was NOT and was in my pocket all the time WITH THE VOLUME UP TO MAX!

    All the twit could keep saying is that they would cancel my order even as I kept telling them that I just wanted my pizza! The driver came back, and when I said to him "Can I just have my pizza, PLEASE?" he again said that he "rang the bell" which was to the VACANT 1st. floor apartment, and when I reiterated my request he started to get irate and nasty, then told me to "GO ** YOURSELF, **." He got back in his car (which was across the street from my house, and drove away giving me the finger as he drove away.

    I got into a HUGE argument with my wife when I started to put on street clothes, she was afraid that the driver would try to start a fight or something worse, I got by her and went over to the store, and asked for the manager. I was told that the manager was "in the bathroom" so I waited. 20 minutes later I started to make a stink about where the manager was, I was told that he was still "in the bathroom" and that my order had been canceled, and "You'll have your money back within 30 days"! I called Corporate Customer service, and spoke to a gentleman named "Zachary" and he told me that I would hear from the General Manager of the store within 48 hours, and if I didn't hear back to then call CS back and they would escalate it up the chain of command. IF, I do not hear from the store I WILL be calling back, and I will be making an UNHOLY STINK. This ISN'T getting dropped! More to come on this!

    I am very distraught that we can no longer order pizza from what I have always thought was the best pizza in the US.. Papa John's. I have had so many issues and kept attempting to get it right each time that I'm tired of trying. First let me say that I lived in Dyersburg, TN for 48 years and Papa John's was our place of choice for pizza. Now we occasionally would visit Domino's or Pizza Hut for deals but Papa John's got most of our money. When we moved to Lexington, TN a few years ago, we were glad to know they had a Papa John's locally. The only problem is that they do not service customers well at all. Here is a list of things we have dealt with in TRYING to give them ample opportunity to fix (and most would have stopped long before we did).

    1) They could NEVER get our pizza to us warm... EVER. We live 8 minutes from them and it's ONE TURN! We loved the pizza so much that we started carry outs because they just couldn't get it to us on time. 2) I must have extra sauce on my pizza as I can't stand it dry. On 3 different occasion there was very little sauce and the last time we ordered it had almost NO sauce at all. It was dry as a bone! Can anyone out there eat pizza without ANY sauce... nor can we. We threw both pizzas in the trash. (I actually received an email asking about our order and of course I gave them this information. They never even called me on it!)

    3) We almost always added buffalo wings to our order as my wife loved the sauce on their wings. That was until TWICE they delivered them to us WITHOUT ANY SAUCE at all! 4) I called one day to pick up dinner on the way home and there was a car wreck outside the front of the store. I noticed the front door open as the "kids" inside were ooooing and ahhhing at the wreck. So much as they propped the front door open and when I got home with our two pizzas... I had a huge fly right in the middle of MY PIZZA! I called to complain and the manager (who sounded all of 21 years old) listened to my story and then just said "good day." We didn't even get a replacement PIZZA!! I threw mine out as I was sickened by the fly.

    We had at least 8 different BAD experiences with pizza at this restaurant so we have just decided to go elsewhere. There is a Domino's almost right across the street so we get our pizza there now. I hate this as we had so many great pizzas in Dyersburg. That just goes to show that not all places are alike. We possibly would return but they would have to be under new management because the kid running that store will never make it.

    I would imagine that they (due to all our issues we have had there) probably just think we were trying to get a free pizza or something which we would never do but I have told this story (especially the fly story) to at least 50 people where I work and you should see and hear the responses. And you would be so surprised at how many people that I tell have had similar experiences here. I am tired of calling the local store or sending emails that get LOST to the store as I'm pretty sure they all go to the trash but that's ok. There are three other pizza places in town and so we will just have to adjust!

She turned it over and there was a patch of blue mold on her slice. The rest of us didn't take any chances. We put our pizza back in the box and threw it out. Then, we called the Papa John's pizzeria that we got it from and gave in our complaint, asking for a refund. They said that we couldn't because WE OPENED THE BOX ALREADY. I was so pissed. I am never ordering from Papa John's ever again. Not even after one bite and I have a complaint. They said it was my fault for OPENING THE BOX already. It was moldy!

    WARNING. Ordered late night delivery - 11:30pm. Got call saying delivery person was outside. Went outside. Street was empty. Called back to be told in the 5 seconds it took for me to get outside, the driver had been mugged, the pizza taken, his money and bike stolen. (No sign of the driver - maybe they stole him too?) The manager then further lied to me about the situation by telling me the police were on their way. Unbelievable. It's like a bunch of children trying to run a shop.

    I ordered a pizza from Papa John's Pizza and most of the time it's good but this time it was horrible and I called and told them it was hard as a rock and well the lady said that is the way the thin crust is. Finally she said that they would bring me another one but if it's their mistake why do you have to pay a delivery charge and I spend a lot of main at Papa John's.

    Recently my husband and I ordered a takeout pizza at our local Dunnellon store. I have to say it was the worst pizza we have ever had. The crust was 2 inches at the edges. The crust tasted like it was not fully cooked. We order a sausage pizza. There were 4 pieces of sausage the size of my small pinky on it. Needless to say it was so bad. We will never go there again and will not recommend this place to anyone!

    My wife placed an online order with Papa John's at about 9:30 P.M. When I sent my sister-in-law to go get it at around 10 P.M. they claimed that they closed at 10 and had no record of our order. Evidently it placed our order for 12 noon the next day even though the "as soon as possible option" was checked. They would not make our pizza and the refund is going to take 3 to 5 business days.

    We ordered the 2 medium size pizza specials for $6.99 each on 5/14/2016. The quality and amt of toppings were dismal. I believe if a company wishes to sell a pizza, at least it should be of a certain quality and standard. Otherwise it should not bother with specials. I noticed that Pizza Hut in Hendersonville is no different. Quality of pizzas have all went down except Jet's Pizza.

    A couple of months ago, I went to the Papa John's on St. Andrews Rd., Columbia to redeem my daughter's free pizza honor roll certificate. I had no problems and I had entered the establishment alone. My daughter was issued another certificate when the next quarter's grades were finalized. This time, I went in once again alone, my kids were at home. I provided the certificate and the site manager intervened and asked where's my child was because he would not redeem the certificate without the child present. I asked, "Why, does that matter?", that I had no issue of this type before. The manager stated that "new rules" were in force and the child had to be present! As if I would counterfeit an honor roll certificate in order to get a small cheese pizza! Why is there a lack of common sense in retail?

    I have used Papa John's on and off for a few years and they have come a long way. Improved in a few areas but still lack common courtesy. My last few orders they forgot to include the extra sauces I payed for. Today there was a problem with my pie. Didn't taste the same so I called and politely said there was a mistake made. The woman on the phone gives me an attitude. Then they call me back and I assume it was the chef this time and he was even more disrespectful. I ask for a refund and he refused and hung up on me.

    Then I get another call from someone else at Papa John's and I was informed I was not the only person that had this problem and they will refund me for the pie. Well, the driver shows up and wants to take back everything, but the rest of my order was half eaten. He calls Papa John's to figure things out and he's not speaking English. They clearly aren't customer friendly. Will close my account once my refund goes through.

    If I would have been told up front that it would be over 2 hours to get my pizza delivered I would have picked it up myself. When we called the first time they told us it would be 20 more minutes and it was over twice that. If I had known we would get a two hour old pizza super late I would have picked it up or ordered from another pizza place. Next time I will probably use another restaurant. The pizza was cold and awful when it came, I would have gotten a better product from another place and I am sure I could have found an offer equally as good at another place, if not I would have gladly paid more. Also if using the online feedback forum, don't select complaint from the drop down menu, no submit button appears when you do this. However if you select praise or suggestion you get a submit button.

Finally got through and the person who answered was belligerent and hung up.

I found out that I couldn't because of the type of card I have. I then called the store to place my order direct. When the team member answered the phone, I explained the situation about the online order and asked if I could apply my same online promotion to the phone order. (1st problem) He took a deep breath, like I irritated him with my question. He grumbled something, put the phone down and another person came on the line.

    I asked him the same question. He very dryly told me they have different in store than online promotions. Okay. Fine. I asked, "what is the best promo for the items that I have?" (2nd problem) "I don't know, you can get a pizza and wings cheap." Okay the customer service was D.O.A from the moment of my call, but whatever. I placed the order and waited for my food. An order that never came.

    I called the store an hour later and was told that the driver had been to my house and had left because he received no answer. There was construction on my street using a jackhammer. So my question was why didn't the driver call when he was outside? I asked nicely so the response I received was uncalled for. (3rd problem) "The driver doesn't have a phone and you knew you had a delivery coming, you should have been on point. It is not his responsibility to call you." He said it so rudely. I was taken aback and asked him, "What do you do now? Are you going to put the money back on my card?" Again as rude as can be, "Yeah. I can do that with the quickness, or you can wait and he will be back 15 minutes from now." I said fine because I had already waited so long.

    30 minutes later no driver, no food. I call the store again. (4th problem) At this point I am over everything Papa John's due to this interaction with this store. I tell the rep, "Please put the money back on my card and cancel the order." I find out that the super rude person I spoke to this entire time is the manager, he said his name is **. I ask him, "How long before the money is back on my card?" His response, "3 days or so, I don't really know" and hung up. I have had bad customer service and then I have had this.

Called the customer line since we did not use points and I was informed that the offer expired. Rep said they had notified me through email. Told them I did not pay attention to emails from them unless I wanted to order a pizza. Service representative said he was sorry and that the offer was good for several weeks but expired.

    Add insult to injury, it expired yesterday. Rep offered me a 50% off on next order, said, "No thanks." Asked if he could do anything else and I said, "Yes credit back points for pizza" - could not do that. I guess if someone gives me something, I expect to be able to use when I want to - within a reasonable amount of time. My family does eat take out pizza or any fast food very often.

Then he said, "Oh no just asking."

While this seems like a lot of ruckus over only $3.00, for me it is the principle of it that I no longer feel comfortable placing an order with your company because #1, I am unsure of what might be added to my card that I did not authorize, and #2 the lack of attention received from this location at this time is a sad representation of the company. I am not sure what, if any action will be taken in regards to this matter but I felt it necessary to bring it to your attention what took place.

    Just letting everyone know about how bad the customer service is in the Lower Mainland B.C. If you're ordering from certain stores who are franchises owned by "New Canadians" be prepared for the worst service. I was told by one of these "owners" that "I should be so lucky to live in Canada". This is coming from someone who my country welcomed them with open arms to a Canadian born citizen. I spent over 7 MONTHS to have this address. I was issued 5 free pizzas, and in the end, they backed out of the agreement.

    Then to top it off, Geoff Linquist (604-552-5955) decided to tell me that he was the "owner" of Papa Johns! Beware when ordering from these places. My local store is amazing, however, my experience on the whole is complete crap! AND, their head office's policy is to waste as much time as possible. Let’s see if Incident # - ** is solved soon.

    I was trying to order a pizza and some chicken for my girlfriend and I just my debit card online. I know my card is good because I just got paid that day. Anyway when I get to the checkout screen it would tell me that my card is not valid so I cancelled my order and ordered from Domino's instead. Later that day I check my bank account and see that my card was still charged from Papa John's even though no transaction went through. They stole $15+ from me and I will never order from or eat at Papa John's again. ** PAPA JOHN'S **. I HOPE Y'ALL SEE THIS ** TOO.

    Listen. My family has order from Papa John's since I was a young man. In the beginning, the company seemed great. Great food, good prices. I liked papa John's so much I even decided to start working there almost a decade ago! But from the inside looking out I can tell you this, that EVERYONE'S expectations are too high. As an employee I have seen the inner workings, and I also see how the public treats people who make their dinner. To start, franchisees don't care about the people who work in their stores, or even the condition of their store. My store has too many problems to count, from cracked slippery floors to extremely poor air conditioning (try working 8-12 hours next to a 475 degree oven, two 220 degree heat racks and a hot summer day with no breaks, except if the business is slow that time is considered our "break" all with a malfunctioning 20 year old a.c.)

    And it's been that way for years, but the expectations from upper management increases every month. We're expected to keep labor low and sales and csc high! Even if that means consistently screwing our customers and employees alike. Example: Every day except friday-Sunday, mornings consist of 1 driver, 1 manager. From 10 am to 4 pm (sometimes 4:30 or 5:00) those two people are alone in the store, meaning two people to answer the phones, two people to make food, 1 to deliver food and 1 to handle in-store customers. In theory that doesn't seem bad.

    But when you have 3 lines ringing on your phone, customers coming in to pick up an order, your 1 driver leaving the store, pizzas coming out of the oven, pizzas to make piling up going upwards to a half an hour before they're in the oven, all while trying to uphold and comply with the papa John's operational guide, you start to see why orders can go an hour, hour and a half late. You can see why that guy might've forgot that extra garlic. Maybe that pizza maker has had to urinate for an hour, but because he will get in trouble for not answering the phone in three rings, is afraid to leave his station to use the restroom. Maybe because our delivery area is 25 minutes out extending north and 28 minutes out extending south, and 1 order in each direction and 1 driver on the clock, you can see why your order did not arrive at the 35-40 minute mark as quoted.

    Maybe if we had a proper staff to handle business, we could satisfy our angry customers! (I'll get to you guys in a minute don't worry.) I don't understand how they can get away with these atrocities. Judging from all the reviews I've read, at least 80 percent of these customers would have had a better experience if papa John's would staff all of their stores properly, train their employees properly, and most importantly, follow my simple theory: Keep your employees happy, keep your customers happy. A happy employee will be able to handle almost any situation with grace and dignity, and keep your customers satisfied! Now that being said, I have to address our customers. I think most customers are just that, customers. They order their food, they pay, if there's a mistake they call and it's fixed (hopefully, better be) end of story.

    However there is a slowly spreading epidemic across the nation, a sickness of the mind and soul. Customers who treat employees like **. Most of the time those employees are dealing with the very same problems I've mentioned earlier, as well as a myriad of other problems that I failed to mention to try to cut this rambling short. We can only do so much given our position, we cannot control how many people work in the store, how much money is being put back into the store, how much they decide they want to charge you. Try being a little nice and it will go a long way. If we tell you 50 minutes or more, it means that we are struggling to keep up with the quantity of orders, and if you are really hungry instead of putting yourself in a situation where you are going to be angry, just call someone else!

    We will never turn down an order, but at the same time this multi-billion dollar corporation won't miss that one order on that one night! Wake the hell up, people. Treat the people who make your dinner with a little respect. Wake the hell up, John Schnatter. You live such a lavish private life but your employees who TURNED YOU INTO A MILLIONAIRE get treated like scum and get paid about 0.00000000001% of your net worth to deal with the REAL STRESS of running a business. This whole world needs to start treating each other properly, with love and kindness as we all want to be treated. Wake up, Earth.

When I got it home (I live about a block away), I opened the box and looked at the pizza. 1 third of the surface was crust. Terrible. About a month later I thought I'd try PJ's again.

We had nine people waiting to eat, so they said they would send the driver on to our house with the pizzas. We agreed to pay half the original price and then waited another 25 minutes for the food to be delivered.

    My apartment complex distributed a flyer offering 50% off any size, any toppings at Papa John's. With all the advertising touting "better ingredients, better pizza," we expected something "better." I downloaded the Papa John's online app, enrolled as a carry out customer and ordered a large sausage, mushrooms and onion pizza with the three cheese topping for pickup at 3:30 pm the next day. I received a standard email reply, thanking me for "joining" but I did not receive a confirmation of my order. Our plans changed and we needed to change the pickup time to 5:00 pm. There was no feature to view my pending order, and no way to change the "ready for pickup" time.

    So I waited for 10:30 am and called Papa John's to make a change to my order. I first asked the young lady who answered, how to modify my order online. She said "You can't do that online, what do you want to change?" It was very simple, I wanted to change the pickup time to 5:00 pm. She confirmed my order and my name, then said "We'll see you at 5:00 pm." My mouth was watering, and I showed up 15 minutes early, so I can drive away with a hot, fresh pizza. I know how long it takes to cook a pizza, but it was 4:45 pm when I entered the store and my boxed pizza was sitting on a metal rack. When I was handed the pizza box, I noticed the box wasn't hot and mentioned it to to counter clerk. His answer? "It's our special box, it keeps the heat in."

    We were more than shocked when we opened the box. Not only was it cold...not even warm...it was cold. It looked like a pizza that was left over from an overnight party. This was a large pizza. We counted eight tiny cubes of what appeared to be sausage. There were a total of six small pieces of mushrooms and a few onions. The cheese had already hardened into a leather-like substance. We looked at the receipt and it had the 5:00 pm pick up time on it, but it was obvious that this pizza was baked and had been sitting for hours. Only one person was willing to reheat the pizza and give it a try. Her comment? It tasted worse than a frozen gas station pizza. Needless to say, Papa John's pizza will never darken our door again. I give it one star, for the box. The pizza and service sucks.

    Occasionally Papa John's has a cheesesteak pizza that comes with CREAMY GARLIC sauce. Other pizza companies offer similar. I like a bit of tomato sauce mixed in with the Garlic Sauce. Other companies have no problem with this, but Papa John's makes a big issue out of it. If they wish to say "We are uncooperative, and although we have all the ingredients - the extra ladling of a 2nd sauce is more work than we care to do!" or simply "We don't care what you want - take it our way or leave!", at least that would have some honesty.

    Instead I get told that this "would cause cross-contamination"! I called 3 stores and most said that - one said "Mixing the sauces would cause them to curdle". REALLY??? You can cook tomato sauce, and you can cook Garlic Sauce -- but together they will curdle? Well that makes more sense than the "cross contamination" -- the tomato sauce is OK to eat alone, the Garlic sauce is OK to eat alone - BUT, mix the 2 and you create a toxic brew of death!!! Are people really this dumb, or just lazy and uncooperative? I am paying for the pizza, and will pay extra if the 2nd bit of sauce is that costly. You have the ingredients. Do what the customer wants, or admit that you don't care what the customer wants. Do say stupid things like 2 sauces mixed together cause issues.

    On Valentine's Day I ordered pizza for my family. It took 2 hours and 35 minutes for the pizza to arrive and this was after having to make numerous calls to the store to chase them up. When it did arrive, my children had been kept up waiting long beyond their bedtimes, so were tired and hungry. The food itself was nasty - luke warm, minimal toppings and a poor quality. I complained to Head Office and, 15 days down the line, my complaint has been totally ignored.

    You want an example of just how little this company care? I complained on their twitter and facebook accounts and, rather than seeking to address this customer complaint, they instead simply chose to block me from both of these social media outlets. Disgusting company who have no interest in their customers and customer experience other than to try and get as much money as they can from them. If you want to order pizza, I would suggest going to any other pizza outlet in your area, because my experience is that you will regret using Papa John's. How any pizza delivery company can believe that a 2 hour 35 minute delivery time is acceptable is way, way beyond me.

Around 5:00 pm I called Papa John's and gave the instructions of how to get to our church, even though we have placed many orders before. At 5:53 pm I called the store and asked to speak to the manager named Mike. I explained that I have been waiting very long for my order; he said that the pizza was on the way and it should take just a couple of minutes for the pizzas to arrive.

    I called the store again at 6:11 pm and Mike answered the phone again, I explained that our youth (16 teenagers + 2 adults) was waiting for the pizzas. He told me that it was normal to take that long. I called once more at 6:24 pm and I was told that the delivery guy was almost there. I finally called again at 6:33 pm a lady answered the phone and she told me the driver could not find the church and went back to Papa John's, but since I called they were delivering them right away and if it would take longer than 15 minutes we should not worried about paying for them. Fair enough, in good faith we waited.

    The delivery guy arrived at 6:57 pm, he was very apologetic but the pizzas were cold. I was told that our order was out for delivery at 5:16 pm. The youth leader complained the pizzas were cold and the deliverer called Mike, the manager, talked to him and passed me the phone. I explain the situation, again, and asked if the store could waive the charges, since we're regular customers and I would have to warm the pizzas up. He said he did not care if the pizzas were cold or not and that I should just pay for the pizzas. Then I asked him if he would be happy with pizzas that were baked over 1:40 minutes ago, and since we were regular customers I asked him again to just waive the charges. He said I was lying and he does not care for our business and hang up on me.

    This is unacceptable and I'm never ordering from that Papa John's again. This manager, Mike, was completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

I said he had also left for awhile, and if I were allowed to leave for an hour I would return. He said "clock him out, I'm gonna give you the rest of your life". He then stormed to the back of the store shouting "don't nobody wanna ** work".

    Vancouver location, Alma - I ordered a Pizza to be delivered (maybe 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from this location without any issues). After taking my order and even saying we have you on file through my phone number, they said they will take 25-30 mins to deliver my order.....10 mins later another person called and said they don't deliver in your area. I explained how they have done it before and even have me registered on file so I'm clearly not lying. He was called "Evan" and he said "whatever" and put the phone down. I called back to shout at him and this time he said "look, its not up for debate we won't do it and don't do it and were too busy" and again cut the phone. I complained online and was not offered an apology - just in the first line it said "we can offer you a free pepperoni pizza for your experience." We won't deliver it though come and pick it up (!!!!!) and finished with we take these matter seriously. YES??? You demonstrated that you clearly don't!!!!

    She asked for a reply to the email to discuss, I replied to this email from the manager "Emily" - it was ignored. I registered a second complaint online using their reference number - it was ignored. Lesson is, change terms of business when you feel like it, ignore complaints and if in doubt, put the phone down. If you get caught offer a free medium pizza (no need to apologize) and get them to collect it and make sure you ignore them if they try to complain again.

    This situation happen today 1/4/2015... over the phone. Took my order at 4:25 pm I followed up at 5:40 pm, over an hour for my pizza. I asked what's going on. they claim they had the wrong address. But when I asked what cell number they had on file, they had the right one. They didn't even attempt to call me. I asked the manager for a discount for my inconvenience. The mgr didn't apologize, didn't do anything for their mistakes. I received my pizza cold. Then driver shows up with the order not complete. He had to go get my soda like we ordered. No receipt from driver. Again disorganized to the end. My experience with this location was very bad...

    I called in an order for a large pep pizza and stated I had a coupon for free large 2 topping pizza (which I got from my mom as a Christmas present who works as a supervisor for the bus station) and gave my number to which the guy responded with “Is this Chase?” And I said yes. When I got there the guy saw the coupon and asked for an ID from the city. I told him that it was a gift from my mom and is valid to employees & immediate family. He then told me I wasn't on the system and I had never ordered pizza from Papa John’s before (even though the guy on the phone found my name by my number). I gave him moms number and my sisters who both often order from there and both weren't in the system. He told me he couldn't give me the pizza or the coupon back. I told him that the coupon was paid for with real money and it has real value. He said he wouldn't give the coupon back.

    After my sister (who drove me there) came in and raised hell mentioning she had redeemed her coupon in that very store 4 days prior that he gave back my coupon. He asked all sorts of info about me and my mom and her job which I had all the right answers but refused to honor the coupon. He was treating me like I was a common thief who had printed the coupon myself (it had the weird security marks on the back). This is the only time I have been treated with such disrespect from a pizza company. I order pizza 2-3 times a week so it's not about the 10 dollar pizza but the rudeness of the manager. He was trying to commit petty thief because he didn't like the way I looked. He didn't start apologizing until my sister came in.

    I saw an ad on TV and wanted to check the menu pricing. PJs website will not show the menu without name, serial number, address, email (maybe not serial number), phone number just to check the prices. What is so secretive about prices? My personal information is none of your business unless I decide to order. Poor!

    I have been ordering pizza for delivery for more years than any of you (except Peyton Manning) have been alive. Up until recently most of the pizzas have been fine, but this last one, actually two, have been subpar and I'm pissed I paid for them. I called to complain and received an "offer" in the mail to redeem this "offer" online, which I NEVER do - I always order takeout. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FOR 2 PIZZAS THAT WERE TO ME AND MY HUSBAND INEDIBLE!!! I have already put in my unfavorable ads with the Las Vegas Review, the Washington Post and the New York Times. You ** aren't going to give me back my money so I intend to make your lives miserable. Happy New Year and I hope Peyton breaks a leg.

    Worst service ever after 32 years. Pizza was two hours late and cold, no napkins or plates. Call back, placed on hold for over 17 minutes no response. Call back again by second phone, management answered within 30 seconds. Listen to my complaint and hung up phone in middle of my conversion. I contacted corporate office to advised them I will never use this location again. 5246 Harford Rd Baltimore, MD 21214

    We ordered Papa Johns this eve and were told that all large pizzas were $12 this month. We ordered 2 since we had a coupon for BOGO. We were told that it would be $24 for the two or we could pay the $16 for the BOGO. Even though my husband told them that we had ordered this month and always got the large for $12, they would not honor the coupon for that price. We will stick with Pizza Hut from now on.

    I tried to order online 3 med pizza for $21. Either the site or my system wouldn't confirm the order. I called the store, on hold just under 5 minutes, order taker distracted and yelling to other people. I ordered the 3 for $21, gave my credit card and was not given a total and she was still rushing to get other orders. When my order arrived about an hour later the bill was just under $50. I called the store and mgr on duty more or less said too bad, nothing he could do. I asked the GM to call, 5 days went by, put a complaint in to corporate and 3 days later the GM called and joked that he'd take care of me next time. I asked about the overcharge and he sarcastically said for me to come and he'd take $20 out of his wallet. I left another email for corporate and as of 6 days -No response. They are proud to say they provide "World class service", they have no clue what this clever marketing slogan means.

    Okay, my friend ordered a pizza for me from Papa John's. It's my last day in NYC but he's not here. The thing is, he's been ordering for me for months and I always receive the pizza but not this driver, and Papa John's won't deliver the pizza because he's not here and there's no ID. But tell me this, if you already made the pizza, it's already paid for, and you're already here, why not just give it to me and be on your merry way? No, this is what they said: "Oh, you can't have the pizza because he's not there and there is no ID, so no pizza." But wait, that's not it. "Oh well, the pizza already been made, so no refund." Shaking my head seriously.

    The thing is already paid for, you're already here, it's not the first time anyone's ordering pizza from a different place, why not just deliver the ** and be done? But no, when you call and ask why, they want to get attitude with you. ** Papa John's. This isn't my first time complaining about them too.

    I called in a delivery order and it took over an hour and twenty minutes to arrive. Once it was here, it was room temperature the pizza was burnt. There was no marinara sauce for the cheese stick. When I called to inform the manager (Ms. Gina or Dena) I was placed on hold twice for more than 8 minutes each. I have stopped using all other piazza places because of the horrible and unacceptable service and or quality of their product. I have paid right at $40 to be disappointed. Please help me to change how this experience has made me think about Papa John's.

    My wife called up for specials here in gulfport, at crossroad mall location, which I was to pick up order 15-20 min, which I did... But, when I arrived about 4pm sat. I could see there were people waiting. One gentleman seemed a bit aggravated but since they were quick to get my name and payment (of course) I didn't give much thought. I sat there easily 30 min. With hungry grandkids at my side. 1 supreme and 1-3 meat not so complex? While 4-6 employees shuffled here and there, customers standing around...finally get my stuff and go.

    Get home realize the supreme looks not too supreme - like as if ordered only sausage and olive. The other was ok, but I'd paid 38$ for them and the call in was quoted 23$, hence the reason for ordering the special...So my wife called them back. So they want us to return the pizza's already getting dug in, un-opened (too late) and give a 10$ credit on our next order? Huh? So now I'm frustrated and not planning a next order. So I call the 800#, which I received no sympathy either. I was told the special in that case was online only? Huh? It was quoted on phone and I picked up, for almost double $ and 1 hr time, for what could have been delivered... Better quality... By ANY other place in town, the whole idea of me picking it up was saving $...Duh?

    So now I'm really peeved. I will no longer do papa john's over this, and that's sad. After complaining online now they issued me an auto generated apology, but no human in this whole chain of events saw any fault? I guess it's mine, won't happen again....

    So I have only 1 other on my boycott list that's mcD's because of their rip off sorry excuses of service, but at least they post their ripoffs on the board in front of you...
