Why does everyone hate Papa John's pizza so much? Is it a hipster thing?

[Help!I'maRock!]

We used to eat that as kids too. A few year ago, I saw it in the grocery store and bought it. Let's just say 8.75 pieces were thrown in the trash.

I bought it too. It was just as terrible as I remembered it. I still ate the entire box.

There's still a Shakey's Pizza over in Oceanside, about 20 minutes away. We go from time to time. It's not quite what it was in the 70s, but it's still quite good.

Back then, it was akin to a pizza eating experience with the hand tossed dough show, the silent movies, and the [turn of the prior century] 90's theme and music.

Don't worry about people who might be offended by something you have to say, they are more than likely just looking for something to be offended about and aren't worth your time. You can't control what someone else might be offended by and you shouldn't care. Don't let others censor your thoughts, It's their problem. Intelligent people can tell the difference, and those that can't are not worth the effort.

Any of youz guyz remember Straw Hat Pizza?

Similar to Shakey's. Also quite good. Freaking Pizza Hut pretty much killed them...

I used to eat at Straw Hat growing up. There is still one in the city I grew up in, but I live three states away now.

If I get takeout pizza from a franchise I tend to favor Papa Murphys.

Barely. I think I remember them being around for what seemed like 5 minutes way back when.

I remember Straw Hat. Don't remember eating there though.

There was also a chain when I was a kid (might have just been a Houston thing, not sure) call Pizza Inn. They were right down the street from Pizza Hut. Only the latter survived.

Nothing goes together liked dixieland jazz and pizza.

Watch this one just for the front door flashback at 5 seconds:

I find your post incredibly offensive. My panties are in a bunch now.

For chain pizza I go to Big Daddy's . It's a chain out of Utah of all places. Their $5.00 hot and ready works for me. Does anyone remember Butoni toster pizza? We ate those as a kid. I do miss Ellios. Not good but add a few toppings and it works in a pinch.

You remembered pizza!
