Think this is the first time I have eaten at Papa John's since moving to Athens. I read some terrible reviews but I don't see anything wrong with the pizza. For clarification, I ordered on a Thursday around 4:30 pm so maybe it's the particular crew I had or maybe they used to have some bad employees. Either way, my pizza was done right when they said it would be and looks wonderful. I haven't eaten it yet because I'm writing this review 😅. Also, I ordered...

July 2025

The only thing not making us a full 5-star rating is the fact that I asked for my wings to be well done and they were still squishy and mushy and I'm sorry that's just gross other than that everything was great

November 2024

I ordered a large pizza & asked for it to be well done.. Got it home & the crust was still doughy & vegetables not cooked thoroughly.. Also, didn't receive the extra pizza sauce I ordered.. Happens way too often for something that costs nearly $30.
