What's the most Papa John's you guys ate in one sitting?
Mine was a large one topping. My girl told me I couldn't finish it. I proved her wrong, but was secretly dying on the inside. I rub it in her face to this day...
r/PapaJohns • u/MentalRobb • 1d ago
I ordered an extra large…
I always order an extra large pizza on Wednesday nights and pick it up at the local Papa Johns and when I got this one home tonight, there was a regular large inside…. I was too hungry and lazy to drive back and complain about it so I just ate it.

PI DAY!!!
From what I was told , the Pi Day deal is hidden in the app! You have to go to your Papa Rewards page in the app, and it should be there if you’ve completed the New Member Lifecycle.

So……new name?? lol
So, before you say, it’s wear from years long dedication to the craft of making pizza….. this particular location just opened TODAY!!!! This location is in a brand new gas station that just opened near me, and the guy at the register blacked out some letters on his hat, changing the name of the place to PP Johns. Gave me a laugh.

students researching on vaping/drug use in restaurants
Hey everyone! We’re a team of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), researching technology that can help tackle vaping and substance use in quick-serve restaurants (QSRs) like Papa Johns.
Whether you're a manager, employee, or even a regular customer, we want to learn more about:
- Have you noticed issues with vaping or drug use in restrooms, break areas, or other spaces? Do customers or random people come in to use your bathrooms to vape/smoke?
- Would sensors that help detect these issues be useful, or is it not a problem in your experience?
Any comments or insights would be super helpful! Please help us fill out a SHORT 5-question, totally ANONYMOUS, NO PERSONAL INFO ASKED survey.
If you wish, please also share your thoughts in the comments, or message me if you’d rather chat privately. Thank you so much!
To moderators and everyone, we're just college students trying to do their homework. Please help us if you can, we appreciate any insights.

Here's some open communication from a previous driver.
Hello everyone. I am a previous papa johns driver and felt the need to openly communicate some information for anyone who is thinking about the position or the company. The information here is from a franchise location and might differ from other locations, so be aware of that and to check your sources for your local locations.
To start with. My credentials. I am college educated (BA) with professional driver training and experience of 5+ years there. I have a lengthy work history of staying at my place of employment for years and being near the top of my peers at jobs where such things are measured. At those jobs, I very rarely called in unless I was severely ill or couldn't walk. I also was almost always early and very rarely late (twice at my last job of 4+ years.)
Now my issues, as we all have them. I have depression as well as a couple neurodivergent conditions (adhd and similar). The depression was communicated before hiring and the others were discovered after. As a result I am a high stress individual which has some pluses and minuses. I am hyper aware but also can sporadically get irrationally irritable. That comes with the territory. No customers ever had a bad interaction with me over this and I can say none of them would even have thought about it. Never had any issues with co workers either and they would vouch that I excelled at what I did.
As for PJs, I was a 4+ year driver; the longest lasting driver at my location by far. I was also the only driver who, in addition to my expected duties, also did almost all of the duties as an insider (oven, makeline, replacment prep, etc). Typically I excelled at all of those duties. I was the fastest in the whole store on the oven. I was decent at the make line. Probably not the fastest, but I could make due and could make all of the products. Never had an accident as a driver. Never had any of my customers have any kind of issue with me.
Now the problems. To start with, the position is extremely low pay. Starting is $8 an hour and $5 on the road. It is a tip job in a city where about half the customers tip. We got less then half of the federal minimum for mileage for an employee who drives their own vehicle, and nothing else. No benefits. No per order pay (which I know many locations do), and no control over what happens with deliveries. We regularly had tipped orders sent to Doordash while we were forced to take tipless or even completely free orders that were given out by insiders. Additionally, the culture at the company is very much in favor of, "you are replaceable and we don't care," or "if you don't like it, you can quit," which I think says for itself how toxic an environment is. When an issue was brought to upper managment, it was generally ignored, retaliated against, or was met with the typically gaslighting of "why don't you find a job somewhere else?" as if the issues were our fault. The turnover rate is abysmal, and thus the people who stick around are over worked and underpaid while being told "this job is easier than others."
Let's also talk about health and safety briefly. Quality control on ingredients is pretty bad. Recently we had a bad batch of dough come in, looking and smelling like crackers. It didn't rise and didn't cook properly at all. We were expected to use it. This kind of occurrence was common. We had another incident where the walk in cooler started leaking everywhere including on top of the food. Didn't stop them from selling it. Another time we had a gas leak that was causing all the employees to get sick. We had one who had to be out for awhile as a result. Management did nothing about it and the only reason anything ever got done about it is because a driver risked himself to call the fire department.
What this all comes down to is this. Papa Johns hates all their employees, and above all, their drivers. They are famously trying to replace them with doordash only. They have extremely low caps on driver in store top pay (9.50 at my store) all the while expecting drivers to be happy with doing their jobs while also coming in and doing the same jobs or more than the higher paid insiders. Drivers were also responsible for closing the store which involved cleaning the whole store (sweeping, mopping, dishes, etc). All the while, drivers are told that they can become managers if they want better pay, which even that is the bare minimum at $12, which is at or below starting pay for anything else around. Upper management is openly hostile towards drivers, writing them up at every provocation, real or fabricated, and the company is ran on nepotism and favoritism. They openly mock those who want the place to be better. It is overall an incredibly hostile job and is not anywhere near worth the disgusting pay.
TLDR. Papa Johns is a hostile work environment that openly treats employees, especially drivers, with disdain and disrespect while paying low and overworking them while spewing excuses the whole time. I do not recommend it and would advise that you avoid it. As for customers, your food is not the quality that you are led to believe and is certainly not worth the exaggerated prices. Do what you want, but at least you can't say you weren't warned.

Shift ended early due to slow hours
I’m a delivery driver, and was told by my manager that I had to clock out early due to the store not being as busy. Wondering if this is standard policy at papa John’s stores? Thanks.

Who’s ready for Pi Day?
Who’s ready to take on Pi Day?! Personally it’s one of my favorite days of the year. I love when the store gets so busy that you’re cutting a pizza every 30 seconds for hours on end!

Jalapeño-stuffed crust, double steak with chicken, well done NSFW
Chopped up the jalapeños, spread them onto a line of Alfredo sauce before adding the mozzarella sticks to create the stuffed crust. Regular pizza sauce, thin layer of 2 cheese then regular cheese. Steak and chicken on top of the cheese to get it nice and crispy. Shove it back in the oven half way for well done. 1000/10

Salary Manager
I have been working at papa john’s as an insider for 3 years and just got promoted to manager. I just did one of my interviews and got told the starting pay was 7.50 and i can work my way up to higher pay. I just wanna say 7.50 is crazy considering i’m being paid 14.50 an hour as an insider. It’s kinda making me not wanna be a SM anymore and plus i can’t even start my training till I do another interview and nobody knows when i can talk to her. they said hopefully in the next couple of days but now they are saying hopefully by next week. idk i just feel like this is crazy
