    Placed a carryout order for 12:15 PM. When we arrived, we were told it would be another 30 minutes. While waiting, we saw a boxed order in the back that clearly looked like ours. We were told it wasn’t. After 20 more minutes, we asked again — turns out it WAS our order the whole time. Almost 50 minutes late total. Got to the car and realized all the extra sauces we paid for were missing. Went back in, had them check the receipt, got sauces — only to get home and find they were the WRONG sauces. We also ordered Oreo Bites and received only FIVE, no icing cup, and the box looked like someone had already taken some. We even paid for extra icing, which was missing. The dessert looked awful and honestly unsanitary. Late food, rude service, missing items (twice), and poor quality. We paid full price for sloppy service. Won’t be back.

    Nothing ruins a family trip for a destination wedding like violent food poisoning!! Food was delivered so I have no idea what the state of the store/kitchen/ingredients looks like but the health department may need to make a visit! Posting here because there is no way to leave feedback in the App which is kinda ridiculous. This is the only thing we all had for dinner last night and it’s taken down our group of 7! Thanks Papa John’s!

    I placed an online delivery order at 9:30am. Requested the delivery for 5:30pm same day. I never received information from the store about the status of my delivery. At 5:45, I tracked my order and delivery was estimated at 7:00pm. I called the store and they told me that no driver had arrived to pick up our order. It was ready and we were welcome to come and pick it up. I sent a colleague to pick it up but when he arrived they claimed no record of my order. I get on the phone with the same person I had just spoken to 15 minutes prior, gave him several names and numbers associated with my order, but he could not find it, until I told him I had just spoken to him on the phone. He then found the order. Offered a free order in the future and handed my colleague a 2-liter Mountain Dew. We were still charged a delivery fee and driver tip.
