Papa Johns is to pizza what McDonalds is to the burger.
I wouldn't go that far. In my opinion Papa John's is probably the best of the big chains (Dominoes, Pizza Hut, etc) but even the big chains aren't the worst pizza. CiCi's is without a doubt the worst pizza on planet Earth. It makes the big 3 look like gourmet food.

Papa Johns is nasty. All of the chain pizzerias are nasty. It's toast with tomatoe sauce and cheese. Ugh...

There's not a CiCi's near me but I'd never go to one anyway. They somehow manage to fail at making their pizza look even remotely appetizing in their commercials. Everyone knows that food is always prepared for commercials to make it look better than it actually is (just look at how neatly they put together Big Macs and Whoppers and compare it to what you see when you actually buy one), so that tells me that it's horrendous--probably somewhere near or even below Elio's frozen pizza in terms of taste and quality.

anyone else sick of seeing his stupid face in every other commercial?
can you please let me know the ground rules on what ages are appropriate to call people names? you have a problem with someone in their 40s calling someone a dbag but you at 30 something can call someone a tool (and start a whole thread about it)? just wondering the cutoffs and boundaries in your mind. thanks in advance for enlightening me.

I haven't eaten at CiCi's since probably high school, but even back then we'd have to be stoned to go there. I would say the pizza is probably 95% dough, with the minimum amount of sauce/cheese/toppings they can get away with putting on there.
One of the main things that draws people there is the cheap price. Back then it was "All You Can Eat For Only $2.99", I think they may have gone up to $3.99 now. But what they don't tell you is that your drink will cost more than the food. Back then I think they charged something like $3 or $3.50 for the drink. So that $2.99 ended up becoming closer $7 after tax and everything. And you NEEDED a drink to choke down that bread they were calling pizza.
On top of that they always had all these crazy and nasty looking pizzas out on the buffet. Like the infamous Macaroni and Cheese Pizza...
You didn't have to eat it of course, but just seeing it was pretty unappetizing. I would rather eat a frozen pizza out of the microwave than CiCi's. It is truly awful.

I've had cici's pizza twice at a rest stop coming home from a long drive. It was disgusting. Cici's pizza makes pizza hut look gourmet. Pizza hut is ATLEAST tasty crappy food. This is just plain crappy food.
alls I know is....I finally got my code for free pizza and pepsi so, even if it's bad.....it's free!
If I had known then what I know now...

that looks like someone vomited mac and cheese onto pizza dough.
I read somewhere that was his first car and he sold it when he was like 20. Then when he became rich he hunted the car down and told the owner he would pay anything to have it back. $250,000 later it was his.
He even paid the person he sold it to in 1984 $25,000 for tipping him off to who the current owner was.
The car is only worth about $15,000. That alone makes him a tool.
that was actually an episode on one of those picker's-type shows recently
ridiculous
i guess his motto is..if you got it, flaunt it?
and the pizza is horrible IMO

i have never ate a papa john's pizza, cici's pizza, or any of the others i have read here. wait...i have had little caesear's a couple times. we've all ate pizza hut so that doesn't really count. godfather's was the shit for years, now they are not in my area. happy joe's was good years ago, haven't ate at a happy joe's in a coons-age.
Sorrento's Pizza
Sorrento's is a family owned one restuarant pizza joint. they do make a good pizza. the original owners retired and sold the place to whomever owns it now. the original owners have two boys that worked the establishment. the family's house being attached to the joint made it nice and easy for them to travel to work im sure
i worked there back then as a delivery driver, phone call guy, and sometimes made pizzas. mostly when i wasn't driving pizzas around i was snorting crank and shooting pool and playing arcade games in the game room in the back of the restuarant.
they have the best pizza around. just the other night my buddy brought out a hawaiian pizza. first time i had Sorrento's in 10 years or so, still tastes the same. and working there all those years ago was a fucking hoot.

I don't know if the guy is a tool or not, but it REALLY bugs me how he pauses ever so slightly in between "Better pizza" and "Papa John's", while nodding his head slightly and grinning. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PAUSE FOR EFFECT? No-one cares that it's your little schtick. It's annoying. Just say the damn name.
Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"
Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"
tool? What kind of tool we talking about here. Handheld? Like a screwdriver, pliers, or crescent wrench? Or a power tool like a drill, sawzall or angle grinder . Battery powered or corded?

The only chain worth a damn at ALL, and I am a pizza snob, is Papa Gino's.
Some Sbarros locations are OK, but they are few and far between. The ones in and around NYC tend to be better (the one near MSG used to be pretty good....don't know about it anymore).

Agreed. But if I'm drunk enough, I'll eat pretty much any pizza you put in front of me. Except Sarpino's. NEVER Sarpino's!

i actually make a banging ellios pizza. the trick is to not preheat the oven and cook for 13 minutes when the box says 15.
that and i drown the thing in frank's red hot.
