My new favorite Papa John’s! Outstanding customer service here

Papa Johns is always one of the best! Last night, they had our carry-out order ready very fast, even before their estimated time. Everything was delicious, but the new (to me at least) garlic Parmesan bread sticks were the highlight!

I happily pay a bit extra to come to this Papa John's because this particular Domino's next to it is total trash. I generally like the taste a bit more anyways. There are always nice people that provide the service here and we've never had a problem.

We get pizza here every Friday for work. And the midday guys are always super friendly and fast and the pizza is delicious! We ordered two pizzas, cheesesticks, wings, and Oreo bites today and they did a great job!

Best chain and best papa John's in Tallahassee on this side of town. I'll say nothing is spectacular about service, but nothing negative either. I never have any problems with my orders, it's fast, and hot and fresh everytime. Could use some more toppings here and there but good. We like thin and regular crust, and I used to dislike the papadia things but it seems as they've been 'revamped. The Philly I got was delicious
