How about we teach our employees gun safety if we’re going to allow them to carry firearms and or encourage them to carry firearms because now someone has lost a family member due to gun violence at the workplace which is ridiculous you shouldn’t even have a gun at work to begin with. I really hope you guys wrote that family a big check and if you did not, I really hope they’re smart enough to hire a lawyer

we really like the team here. They are always polite, happy and generally a good group of people. when i walk in i’ve heard them all checking on eachother and making it a good place to be. Pizzas are good. They’ve got our order wrong before which isn’t a big deal, the immediately corrected it and it wasn’t a problem. always appreciate a place that if they make a mistake, correct it. That says a lot! great job :)

They play far too much. It has to be a toddler cutting & making the pizzas. One pizza was mostly crust not to mention they just cut a bell pepper into huge chunks and threw it on top. when I called the manager said he’d have them remade they were a LITTLE better but still not acceptable you’d think making pizzas would be simple but I guess not for them… I’ll just have to settle for Pizza Hut next time. Definitely would NOT recommend this location…

Spent $35 and wish I hadn't. The pizza is mini now. They shrunk it. The cinnamon bites were cold and mid. I hadn't eaten here in a while but I remember Papa John's Quality to be much better... They miniaturized their food and raised the price. What sense does this make? Beware. I'd be cautious on what you spend here. More ain't more. More is now less. You may be disappointed. First time in a while here and the last time here. No thank you.

Normally the food is amazing ! This location does well , however I’m not a sea turtle , and I don’t think I’d like to eat the plastic that came with my pizza . As much as I love sea turtles please keep their diet out of my food .

called for delivery, apparently they’re not allowed to “ring a buzzer” at an appointment complex. So they call instead when they arrive. No one told me this. Like you think the person answering the phone would tell the person waiting for the pizza “hey they won’t ring your buzzer they’re going to call you instead so have your phone nearby”. Nope, Didn’t tell me shit. So they called my phone (which was on silent) and instead of just pushing a button to ring my buzzer they just left. So I called the store and asked if they could remake the pizza (since at this point it’s been over an hour and it’s been driven back to the store and will be driven back to my house AGAIN) nope. They wouldn’t remake it. Told me “it’s been under heat lamps” sounds so appetizing huh? Nice old pizza sitting under a heat lamp. Yum! Then when I get the pizza the garlic sauce was open flipped upside down and the entire pizza was sitting in garlic sauce. it was so disgusting just looking at it made me sick to my stomach. It was by far the most disgusting pizza i’ve ever had. Dripping in lukewarm garlic sauce from sitting under the heat lamps. What a waste of $30. My kids didn’t eat it, I didn’t eat it. We all took one bite and threw it in the trash. And all they had to have done was remade it. Oh this was at 2 in the afternoon too so I know they weren’t slammed with orders. God forbid they have to remake a pizza. and I know they saw it marinating in garlic sauce and still let it go out like that. 🤮 Yuck! I’m sick to my stomach just thinking about it. Look at the photo and tell me if you’d eat this pizza. Looks like it’s sitting in vomit. NEVER AGAIN! I’m DONE with ever attempting food from this location ever again.

I got a pizza from this location last night and at first I was highly satisfied with the promptness of the delivery the friendless of the driver and the presentation of my food but when I ate it the taste was off.... it tasted like mold..... and I woke up this morning sick as a dog..... highly disappointed..... won't order from this location again....

I usually don't care for Papa John's Pizza but this Shaqaroni Pizza is really very good. Very tasty and loaded with pepperoni and extra cheese for only $12.99!

As an educator in the neighborhood, sometimes we need lunch in the fly. The helpful staff at this location always comes through. Hat off to Eddie for being so helpful and wonderful to deal with!
