"Ordered by phone - used a coupon so I got a cheap pizza that way - no seating at this location. The “Works” was good - I think Mt Mikes puts more toppings on theirs….. But original crust here is better."

"Friendly employees. Great pizza. Papa John’s is way more delicious than Domino’s or any other pizza chain. We love all their crusts. Personally, New York crust is a good balance of thin crust that’s also filling. They even have plenty of signature vegetarian pizzas or make your own. They also give a complimentary garlic sauce which is awesome. Very reasonably priced and always consistent. They are open late night and the employees have always been courteous and punctual. There are lots of parking spots available behind the complex and on Lenzen street."

"I ordered a XL pizza called Shaq-a-roni, and the cinnamon pull apart for dessert. The pizza had good sauce and the slices were nice and big cut and the pepperoni was placed pretty evenly all over the pizza and my family was very happy with that. The cinnamon rolls pull apart was nice and soft and warm. It was for my dads 67th birthday. Thanks Papa John’s for making my dads birthday special. And btw the family ripped the pizza box open so fast I didn’t have time to take pics. But it was so delicious. I will definitely order from here again in the future."

"I live down the street and walk over and grab carry out every now and then. Never had a bad experience, the tracker updates me quickly and everything is fresh and hot when I arrive. Workers are nice, wish they’d have more deals online. But the few they do have are worth it. It’s not to bad of a treat when I don’t want to cook dinner. I always do the survey they send to my email for a free papadia. If you live near by I say it’s more then worth it for carry out."
