Papa John's in Escondido

“Pulled up to Papa John’s Escondido on Center City Pkwy and Wasim, the manager, really came through. I’ll be real — using EBT can feel embarrassing sometimes, but he made it easy, respectful, and comfortable. Patient, professional, and always smiling — that kind of service is rare.

We grabbed the $29.99 special (two topping pizzas), plus the Canadian bacon & pineapple and Alfredo spinach specialty pies — and yeah, I couldn’t resist the popper bites. Chefs back there did their thing, food came out perfect.

Hours run about 11 AM–10 PM on weekdays, last orders before close. They’re on DoorDash and Uber Eats too, but honestly, if you walk in, you’ll see why the in-person vibe makes all the difference.“

“I am a Door Dasher. Recently I had a delivery order that I picked up here. It was after hours and you’re required to ring a bell and they will bring the order out to you. This time I was picking up a 2 liter and a large pizza. The girl handed me the 2 liter and I grabbed it in one hand. Having my phone and pizza bag in the other as she hands me the pizza she tells me in a very unfriendly way, “ we don’t help putting pizzas in the bags!”
I was kind shocked. Stepping back looking around there’s no place to set anything down. Not a table or chair so I carefully walked over to my car awkwardly and put the pizza in the bag.
It just was surprisingly an unpleasant remark she said. I can’t give this store a 5 star because of her unfriendly attitude towards me. No empathy or regards to helping out. What’s society coming to these days !“
