    Getting highly annoyed at this location. Last 4 times I've ordered the cheese/sauce/toppings are nowhere near the edge of the crust on the large pizzas (I'm talking 3 inches or crust with nothing). It's almost like they've been told to skimp since its occurring regularly (figured it was a one-off at first). Also, when I order a half and half, the topping are ridiculous minimal and not evenly spread out whatsoever (where the 2 halves meet there is literally nothing but cheese on probably 4 of the 8 slices).

    ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED BY THE DOWNFALL AND LAZINESS OF THIS BRANCH! This restaurant is open UNTIL 2300!! We placed an order at 2223….. at 2254 they call us and say, DoorDash doesn’t have a driver for you, OUR DRIVER LEFT AT 2200…… And this is my problem how?! Papa John’s has become so cheap that you can’t afford to pay your drivers to stick around until the end of the night?! In today’s world?! That’s embarrassing! And greedy!!! As if you don’t make way more money off of your workers than they deserve! Maybe the welcome to the neighborhood free pizza from Dominos coupon was a sign that it’s time to move on……

    I've been ordering from this Papa John's since they've opened. It's always been spot on every single time.

    I placed an order in the app and when our food arrived, we realized that my husband’s order was not there. I called to let them know part of our order was missing, and the lady on the phone was very nice helping me in this matter. She came back on the line and said we didn’t order the Papadia. I relooked at my receipt and realized I made a mistake and did NOT in fact add it to the order. Instead of “okay then have a good night”; she offered for them to bring us the food I forgot! Without hesitation! Now THAT is outstanding customer service and THAT is why we continue to choose this Papa John’s every time! HUGE THANK YOU TO THE TEAM THERE FOR SAVING DINNER TONIGHT!!
