    Pizza was kinda raw under the cheese. These cheese sticks were very poorly prepared. Not a great experience.

    Tonight I visited this Papa John’s location to pick up a door dash order and was very hurt and felt really disappointed by the service I received. Initially upon entering location I saw two workers present and after standing there for a few minutes I was able to catch eye contact with the delivery driver whom I asked very nicely if there was an order waiting for my DoorDash customer and received no response literally he looked at me and walked out the door. The remaining guy allowed me to say “excuse me” a dozen times and did not one time acknowledge my presence or respond to my question about the customers order. I was really confused so before the driver took off I stepped outside to ask the driver if he knows if there is an order waiting for said customer….. The driver responded with What???? I asked the question and his reply was that ask him “referring to older guy inside” he is the manager! Very rude and in a very demeaning manner. He then got in car and left. Shortly after going back into location to see if I can finally get a reply about the order I’ve been waiting on…… the manager continued to ignore me but when two men entered the location….. not only did he greet them but he handed them both their orders immediately! However continued to ignore my presence and act as if I didn’t exist! I mean literally not responding……no wait time……. No acknowledgement……Nothing! I mean literally guys I had to cancel the order due to this nonsense! I did record the entire incident and I will encourage everyone in the local area to choose another Papa John’s to order from! I never leave bad reviews that undeserving but no one deserves to be treated like that no matter their race and or gender. It’s been a very long time since I’ve experienced nastiness and straight out hate from an individual operating a business but I assure you I Will Never Eat and Order Papa John’s again! Sad thing is they had a very nice and clean location but the ppl who are running the business are going to run it straight into a hole with that kind of service! Please clean house immediately! Hire a whole new staff that can display positive energy and give respect to the people that contribute to your business in this community!!!!! FYI. A little respect goes a great distance in the business world.

    Made mistake on GrubHub order (picked wrong item) and they remedied it, even letting me keep the mistaken item. Manager on call was very nice!
