What the hell happened to Papa John's? I used to eat pizza from these guys all the time when I was living over in Southern California. Now that I have been in Vegas about 4 years, this is the first I have had it since then.
For starters, the dough has changed. I dont know exactly what it is but, for some reason it did not taste the same like I was used to back in Cali. The dough seemed bland and a bit dry. The toppings werent as plentiful and as fresh as it used to be.
Maybe its because I ordered 3 large pizzas for delivery about half an hour before they closed? Maybe they were just getting ready to close soon and really did not worry too much about my order? Sad to think it but yeah, maybe I was getting whatever dough that was left since the morning. I also think that I am spoiled from going to Old School Pizzeria, Metro Pizza, Napoli's and Grimaldi's.
The only thing that has not changed are the little Garlic Butter thingies that you can dip your pizza bread into and the peppercini's (sp?).
What I ordered was 2 large pepperonis and 1 large Ham and Pineapple. I also orderd cheesy breadsticks as a side. I hate to say it, but the hot n ready pepperoni pizza at Little Caesars I had last weekend was better. The cheesy breadsticks were ok.
Customer service and delivery were decent. They showed up as promised by the eta that was given.
Overall, not sure if I want have Papa John's again. Maybe I just caught them at a bad time. Everybody has their moments I guess. If I order from these guys again and it is better or heaven forbid worse, then an update is necessary.
