“Not rating on atmosphere as this isn't a place you expect atmosphere and that's fair enough, there isn't any. It's designed to be a pizza factory and crank those out which it does quite well. Every order I've ever placed here, I've been given a 10-15min estimate as to when to pick it up and and I have to say, I've never had it take 15 minutes for my pizza to be ready for pick-up, and often it's ready in under the 10 min end of it that as well but typically it's done right around the 10 minute mark which is pretty impressive, especially when a lot of other places I order from will give you a 30-45min time for pickup when it's anywhere near dinner time. Beyond that, this is one of the few places that post COVID-19 is still open to a fairly decent late time. Want a pizza after midnight in this area, your choices are either Papa John's or dominos. I'm not going to say Papa John's is great pizza or even all that much better than dominos (maybe slightly better) but i need to give the delivery guy props for coming through the other day. I was admitted into the hospital unexpectedly at 9am and had been there all day but they didn't feed me anything as they were hoping to perform surgery that evening (which they did but didn't tell me the reason for not feeding me all day but that's just the beginning of all that went wrong there, think I might have to review the hospital sometime soon as well!). Cut to the chase, I'm just out of surgery, it's now 11:30pm, I hadn't had anything to eat since 9am and that consisted of a donut and a can of coke (throw in a cigarette and you'd have the breakfast if champions, just ask Belushi!) and honestly had been sick enough, that if I had eaten 1000 calories in total for the 3 previous days, I would be surprised to hear it was that many. They finally brought me food and there was literally nothing I could eat on the tray so I asked if there was any way I could get a pizza delivered, the nurse checked my chart, saw I was listed for a normal diet and said I could if I wanted. Now I was still coming out of anesthesia mind you so I'll more than take the blame on any failing on this order (for instance, the name it was to be delivered to was my partners who was the last to place and order on our account which also had my partners phone number as the contact number. I realized all this about 5min or so after my estimate for when the driver should have arrived according to the map on the website. I'm sure he probably tried calling the number but my partner would have been dead asleep with phone off by them having work in the morning so realizing all this I called Papa John's and they told me the driver was there but couldn't find where to deliver it. The poor guy had been there for 10 minutes trying to find the wrong guy with the wrong number and also had to future out which building and how to get it to me so I told the restaurant the correct name and to leave it with security at the front door who were aware of the situation by this point. I've delivered pizza before and I know this is almost the worst kind of delivery to get, the worst being when you can't even make the delivery and then all your time and effort and gas have been wasted so I'm very glad that wasn't the case but to his credit he not only stuck to it long enough and made the delivery and by the time it got to me it was shockingly still warm... on a night that the temperature was below 32?️ out and he had been outside trying to figure out where to take the thing for over 10 minutes oh yeah and with a thin crust pizza the thing should have been ice cold but somehow still warm. I of course made sure to order enough to offer some to the staff at the hospital and for my roommate (roommate was the only one who took me up on it but he said it was good so that's 2 votes good pizza) and definitely got the driver of the year vore from me as well. (Not sure I would've stuck around that long “

“I got the 2 for 12 on the app a medium pizza and a Philly cheese steak Papadia with jalapenos it's all cooked and was hot but I picked it up right when it was ready using the app and pretty much ate it straight out the oven so my mouth is now on fire. Either way it was a really good pizza the Papadia was good too I just wish they gave marinara instead of garlic cause this thing needs a little tomato sauce. Actually now that I'm fully inspecting this pizza it isn't cooked all the way through but it's still pretty good for papa John's“
