I'm sorry, but Papa John's is not what it used to be in terms of cheaper pizza that was delivered quickly.
I'm currently studying for the bar exam, and with the exam a mere three weeks away, I decided to jump online and quickly order some food before going back to studying. Delivery estimate said 30-40 minutes. After almost an hour I called back and they said the delivery driver had just left and the pizza would be here in a few minutes. That was 15 minutes ago. They've got another 10 minutes before I call back, throw a fit, and cancel the entire order…
EDIT: well, looks like I'm getting my refund. I called back (my order has now taken an hour and a half), and demanded a refund. The guy goes "hold on, the delivery driver has already left" to which I very firmly state "I don't CARE, this order has taken an hour and a half and I'm not waiting for this pizza anymore!" 7 straight weeks of bar exam study hell has made me incredibly good at being confrontational, and I think he could tell not to mess with me because he issued the refund.
AND, AND…in an incredibly tone-deaf fashion, when I called the national company to make sure that refund was issued, and in the process complained about this store, the only thing they did was confirm the refund had been done and didn't offer anything in terms of compensation or tried to rectify the problem.
NEVER ordering from this place again.
Newly Opened.
Walk in and there seems to be orders over the phone already for it's grand opening. Everything is clean and new. The staff seem busy. I had to wait a couple minutes before I could order. I didn't even get eye contact for the first few minutes, lol. No attention, staff seem busy, is okay by me, so orders are coming in. But it's the same bright venue serving decent pizza. As for this week they have the 99 Cents a slice pizza. Their menu is still from the Astoria Blvd location and there's three tables. All seems delivery orders for now. It's stocked and up and running.
The pizza seems fresh and just like all the other Papa John's Pizza. They make an okay pie. Right now all seems decent.
I always order delivery: large thin crust with beef and onions or green peppers, olives and onions. Never had a bad experience to date. Consistently delivered within the estimated window, hot and fresh!
I do want to share something that played out back in May when I got pizza delivered: it goes a little something like this…(see what I did there)
I go to the door and while the delivery guy hands me my pizza, he tells me to wait. While he climbs back down the steps to the house back to his car, I think to myself, what's going on? Did he forget the receipt? Do I have to start signing one all of a sudden? He comes back and hands me a rose and a bottle of soda. It caught me off guard and left me a little speechless.
Thanks to the Papa John's delivery guy who reminded me there are people out there that do in fact do selfless things for perfect strangers 🙂
