Papa John's Pizza

First time trying Papa Johns and I wasn’t let down. I was lucky enough to win a free large pizza on their fb competition, which I shared with my partner. I ordered a sausage and pepperoni pizza - along with a side of hot piri piri poppers and jalapeño bites. The pizza was so nice and I loved the generous lashings of tomato sauce on the base. Plenty of cheese also. Definitely will be back. Thank you so much!

The good: Very nice dough, amazing garlic pizza sticks some other nice menu items. Friendly staff. Unfortunately I always have to pick it up myself see below.... The bad (whole chain not specifically this store): Outrageous and frankly militant policy of Papa John's is that they'll refuse to deliver food to you if you don't buy a pizza irrespective of how much you spend. This is deeply unfair to those that like the rest of their menu but don't like pizza. They don't accept that garlic pizza (sticks) are pizza and will even refuse to charge you the extra for a pizza and just make this for you to get round the rule. I've seen orders of £50 rejected because of this rule. I personally like numerous things on their menu but don't like pizza itself and this rule drives me bonkers. I've even seen me pay for a pizza and ask them not to make or deliver it to get round this - but they still insist on making it despite my telling them it'll just go straight in the bin. Would love if the franchise would change this frustrating rule. It's a testimony to how good the rest of the food is that I've given four stars not one star....
