| - Am I really reviewing Papa John's? Yep, looks like Im am.
I am a food nut. Magnified by 100 when it comes to pizza.
Its no secret Im a NY STYLE guy. The best thing about PJ's is unlike most others, they dont claim to be something they are not. Most pizza places, even the large chains, love advertising 'NY STYLE', when they arent remotely close to a NY Pie.
Mainly ordered here last night due to time constraints, as well as the fact the younger kids simply do not appreciate a good NY Pie and were wanting pizza. While they argued (wrong word...Discussed, is what they do) about which pizza to get, one pointed out they had a 50% off deal running.
Ding Ding, we have a winner, and Papa John's was it.
We did Carryout. An Extra Large 'The Works', Original style with extra sauce.
Again, Im a NY Pizza guy so dont expect me to get overly excited in this review.
What I will say, after the 50% off the pie was $10. It weighed alot. Dont think Ive ever gotten carryout pizza that had me wondering if I was going to find rocks inside.
Nope, just pizza. I did get xtra sauce which I normally dont like, bit did so since my experiences with PJ's left me wondering where the sauce was. Amount of sauce going xtra was just right. The flavor of the sauce was ehh...Nothing special...but not too bad...typical pizza sauce.
The pizza itself was good, again, nothing special, but not bad. Was hot when I arrived to pick it up, was hot when we got home to eat it. Didnt have much need to chat with the folks working there. Pizza was ready, so I simply paid and left. Cant say they were overly friendly, but also cant say they were rude. The did their job. Fine by me.
Pizza was cooked just fine. Would like to see more toppings tho. The works comes with 7 toppings. Many pizzas cant handle heavy toppings when it comes with 7. This extra large could easily have handled more each of the 7 toppings.
Doesnt do much good to put 7 toppings on if you only get 1 in each bite. They easily could have added more, but I digress.
Overall, when it comes to the pizza chains, I have to say this was better then most.
I good, filling pie with no issues worth mentioning. Admittedly, the 50% off deal was the kicker as for $10, it was a good pie, filling with no complaints.
only 3 stars because well, its a pizza chain. I have yet to find a true
mega chain, that deserves 4, but it certainly was better then 2, so 3 is the magic number....
