Papa John's faces severe operational issues with extremely late or missing deliveries being the most common complaint, often exceeding 1-2 hours past promised times. Customers consistently report cold, poorly made pizzas, compounded by rude, dismissive staff who hang up on callers or refuse to resolve issues. Phone communication is particularly problematic with customers left on hold for extended periods or unable to reach stores at all.

Ordered pizza was supposed to meet them at store like I always do 10 minutes before time waited 10 after time to call them see where they where. They said they called me 3 times but I had my phone right with me it didnt ring with me but I checked to make sure something didn't go wrong but had no calls from them .

Then they said they where closing but they didn't come out with the pizza either because I was 10 minutes early as I always am. My grand kids was looking forward to pizza an we had no pizza to have for dinner.

Was in my way home and decided to order a pizza on my phone from the Papa John’s restaurant location at 4401 Curry Ford Rd, Orlando, Fl, 32812. Since the Papa John’s is close to my home I started to order when I was about 18 minutes from my home figuring I could just drive straight there and pick up the pizza I ordered at close to 7:15pm.

I looked up the phone number on my phone and pressed on the line on your app that states call in your order. A young girl answered the phone and before I could say anything said hope you don’t mind I’m putting you on hold and before I could say anything I was on hold.

I was on hold for close to 10 minutes when she finally took me off hold and said Papa Johns pizza then promptly disconnected our phone call. So instead of ordering a pizza since I was very…

I ordered $54 worth of food from Papa John's and it was hair in my pizzas. So I called the store back here in Wichita falls Texas. And the supervisor on duty laughed and sent pizzas out with raw vegetables on it.

I ordered $52.00 worth of food and I guess the store I ordered from didn’t have any drivers. So DoorDash is delivering the food they left my pizza outside in 15 degree weather and didn’t even knock call or ring a doorbell just put the pizza right on the ground. I called the store they said they couldn’t refund me cause it was against policy but I feel like I should get something for my pizza being placed in the ground in the cold with no call text or anything about it being here

Pathetic service No engagement from staff : I have wasted over an hour to ring the store but nobody answered my call. 30 minutes of order being placed. The driver refused to deliver on correct address and said that he will return to the store after 45 minutes and will cancel the order. Pathetic Service

I used to love Papa John's but when I have to call to them and have them disrespect me and be smart asses and rude to me on the phone it shows me Papa John's has become one of the worst pizza places to contact in the United States you continue to allow your employees to treat people like s*** you're going to shut yourself down because people are going to start stopping to come to your company when you allow your f****** employees to be f****** assholes to everybody who speaks to them your company does not have a right to exist in the United States I recommend taking Papa John to Russia cuz if you're treating people like you're doing now you deserve to be treated just like the Russians and that's my complaint

Bought an Hawaiian pizza at 11th street, Houston Texas. It was tasteless. Would expect more for $18. Had very little cheese, sauce, bacon or pineapple. Always liked your pizzas but can't see wasting my money in pizzas like this.

The last couple of times I’ve ordered pizza from the CENTERPOINT location in Birmingham AL has been terrible. The toppings are so scares to where you could see the crust throughput the entire pizza. I tried it one more time last night, however this time the pizza crust was burnt, as well as the crust to the cheese sticks was burnt and it had very little cheese on the cheese sticks.

Store bought pizzas are better than this location. Mt pizza was also dried out. My sister ordered one as well for the first time and she too was dissatisfied and will never order again from this establishment again. I use to enjoy Papa Johns pizza, but due to the quality of the product plus customer service is terrible I will not be back again.

If you all don’t address the issues you will continue to loose…

The store in question here is in Blue Ridge Virginia at Laymantown Road. ( new store) I ordered a large thin crust with everything at 4:53 PM on November 10 my call was forwarded to a call center or a foreigner answered my call and got The spelling incorrect on my name.

When I entered the store approximately 10 minutes later the cashier was having great difficulty trying to cash me out after several minutes he inquired the help of another workmate and they cannot cash me out. At this point the manager came to the cash register,( A rather large blond headed woman approximately 35 years of age) after at least another two minutes of difficulty ringing me up she said you’re good put your card in at that point the computer would not read my card… At that point I made the comment that I could…

On 11/2/2022 I visited papa Johns on Vaughn road which I visit quit often maybe once a week. Once I arrived & went inside the store no one was at the counter so I waited until the falls approached the counter & she asked how may I help you I told her my name.

When I received the pizza it looked as if it was just thrown together & wasnt done. I asked if I can have a remake & she replied have a nice day then I asked for a refund then she replied have a nice day again.

I asked for a receipt & she threw the receipt at me. I asked for a district managers number she told me to get the fuck out of her store & proceeded to call me different types of bitches & whores.

Hi, so last night I tried to order pizza to pick up on my way home around 11:28 and they said carry out ends at 11:30. So okay, no big deal. I tried again tonight, called at 11:16, and all was well.

Then the store called saying they aren't accepting carryout anymore because they "are wrapping things up and the ovens are off. But we are accepting delivery" ....? And I was literally tihht outside the store at 11:20, just pulling up to the store as they called me.

So they would be willing to turn the ovens back on if I was willing to spend more money for a delivery fee and tip. Obviously he was lying that the ovens were off since they dont close until 12 am.

This was at the N Walnut location in Bloomington, IN. Clearly they were trying to make extra tip money, at least to me. Because the…

I have a $10 rewards coupon that i have tried to use online now twice and it comes back as an error. So i called the local store and explained to them that it would not allow me to submit my order and i would like to order through them i was told that they could not honor my $10 rewards coupon unless ordered online.

I guess they did not UNDERSTAND what i explained to them the 1st time so i re-explained that the website is NOT ALLOWING ME TO SUBMIT my order. I have always been a fan of papa johns. It use to be my 1st choice but due to this poor customer service it will definitely not be my go to anymore.

We just passed a car in our town that had a Papa John's sign on top and smoke was rolling out the windows-only it wasn't cigarette smoke-it was marijuana. Does management not smell that on their employees or check the cars??

Papa Johns Pizza - Orden #165789****34820 Resumen del pedido Recoger : Humacao Viernes 15 de Julio del 2022 11:49 am Jul 15, 2022

Placed this order at 11:49 AM and it wasn't ready until 12:39. My wife went to pick it up and after noticing that several customers, who got there after she arrived, received their order, she questioned Papa John's process.

The manager who was making pizzas screamed to the front desk attendant, "their order will be coming out soon." It wasn't until 15 minutes later that the order came out and no one apologized for the delay.

Poor service if this nature cannot go unnoticed and someone needs to be looking at the online orders. Actions like this hurt your customer base and will make us reconsider when and if placing orders in the future.

Ordered online to pappa John's, for delivery, when I checked my order tracking I find that my order was put down as collection. I don't drive and couldn't leave my house due to having covid! The store manager was rude disrespectful and wouldn't give me his name or allow me to have the details on how to complain.

So pappa johns removed just under £30 from my account and refused to deliver my food telling me I could come and collect it! Honestly what terrible service! The manager also hung up the phone to me! Telling me that there's nothing he can do and that I should learn to accept difficult things in life.

Well I will be paying them a visit tomorrow with a formal letter of complaint which I plan to send to thier head offices!

I had a credit for large pizza 3 toppings. I started calling at 6 pm, I was transferred to 7 different stores. I would call restaurant where you placed orders I would tell them that I have a credit that I would like to use.

com that they couldn't a help me and transferred me to a store directly. I talked with the store employee who was taking my order, The store employee said they didn't service my area and since I was claiming my credit transferred me back to the restaurant, then the restaurant would transfer me to another store.

I was on the phone for over an hour. When I finally was transferred to the right store, then I was informed by the employee that they couldn't process my credit and was going to transfer me again back to the restaurant and was…

I had a coupon for a pizza when I tried to order they said the coupon can only be used online. I explained that I do not have access to online other than at my job. The gentleman was very rude, did not try and help in anyway.

It must nice to have so much business that you can be rude to your customers and not even try to help them out. I worked in food industry for 11 years and 19 years now in retail, I would never dream of treating a customer this way.

ORDER# 973232063

I had placed an online order for delivery from store# 493 at 2:31pm, which at that time, when I had received my email letting me know they would estimate delivery within 24 mins from delivery being placed. Around almost 3:30pm I had called the store to inquire about delivery and a young lady had answered the phone. I explained that my email said delivery would be here about 24 minutes after placing order, and she said that it was a lie because they do not deliver that fast. She then proceeded to put the phone down while I was still politely explaining what my order confirmation email said and I did not think that was professional at all. I asked the young lady for the Store Manager's name, which she then said Ervin, and also asked her for hers, which she did not want to…

I ordered a pizza online July 11, 2022 Monday night I paid for 3 extra garlic sauces and put an $8 tip on there so my driver brings the pizza and I advise her my garlic sauces aren’t here so she stands there then says call the store and leaves knowing nobody can ever reach our local papa John’s.

I call anyway and 35 minutes later I’m still on hold cause at this point I just want to be refunded for the sauces I paid for and didn’t get. I’ve called everyday and always left on hold and I still can’t get any help.

Last year I placed an order and was delivered the wrong pizza so they advised they would have a credit there for when I decide to order again so 2 months later I call and of course they can’t find the credit so once again I’ve wasted money!!! If you look on Facebook and yelp for…

March 19 I did a auto delivery delivery never showed up the driver said he came no one was there I called the company for refine they said it was voided out here it is June 28 and I still haven’t received my money back they’re telling me that my credit union have the money because Stella voided it out but I have a receipt from my bank showing that the money was taken out of my account and

I’m trying to figure out why is it so hard for me to get my money why would I have to file a dispute with my credit union when all they had to do was refund my money when they know they didn’t deliver the food
