I'm sure it's fine. I don't believe I've ever had it.

The Chipotle delivery bag sat on the top of a car's trunk. The pizza, on the other hand,  was left on the sidewalk in front of the locked communal door.

One seemed more individualized than the other. It wasn't in anyone's way. It hadn't been rained on.

The pizza was due to be stepped on, thrown away, squirrelled away or raccooned away within the hour.

I stand by my choice.

The printed delivery tag/receipt showed that it had been ordered around 2 am, and that the buyer paid $20.

I can't imagine paying $20 for a Papa John's pizza. And I think a dollar of that was for a single pepperoncini.

I ordered a large four topping Papa John’s pizza just last night with an extra garlic butter to make the pizza itself palatable. It also came with a single pepperoncini, which was notable to me because they used to come with several. Maybe even more than several. I paid $14.04 but it was a pickup rather than delivery. Totally not worth it.

I do this same thing with Taco Bell and White Castle. Once in a blue moon I recall that at one time I ate something there that I liked. And then I go there because I’m bored with the other options and gloss over the recollection that my last umpteen trips were regrettable. And thus the cycle perpetuates itself.

Papa John's is exactly the company you'd expect to create if you got a bunch of venture capitalists in a room to brainstorm a cut-rate version of Domino's.

And like the 45th president, the key to getting people behind it is telling them it's "better" when it's demonstrably worse.

I don't eat chain restaurant pizza so don't have any personal experience other than Pizza Hut.  But, I gotta believe Domino's is pretty shitty, too, right?  And ya'll are saying Papa John's is worse than that?  Hmmmm

Turning on my way back machine: Used to be a place in Urbana called Pagliai's. Had pretty good thin crust, Greek style pizza.

Been a minute, but Maxwell Street Polish, Mickey's Gyros, or a hot beef at a Vienna Beef stand.

More recently, chicken tenders at Culver's.

The original is in Charleston and I believe it’s the only location now.

Other than Papa Del’s in Champaign and Filippo’s in Monticello, it’s the best pizza in central Illinois imo.

I find it odd that they have relatively few locations spread across such a large geographical area.

Stiffer competition in towns where they stopped trying.

The Urbana location was great. But by the mid-90s it was gone. I'm not sure why except maybe lawyers can't wait around for a pizza to bake.

If I'm getting awful pizza I definitely prefer PJ's to Domino's

I once heard a story from a coworker of mine when I was 16 or 17 or doing painting, about how he used to work at Dominoes and he came in super early one morning and the dude who comes in even earlier that makes the dough was fucking a huge dough ball on the table that he would make it on... lol lets just say I was not interested in ever eating there again after hearing that

You could make a sheep vagina out of dough, I guess?
