Papa Johns Blames Cheesy Sales On NFL

[Mormolyce]

No it doesn't. Not on a systemic level at least.

Liar.

'Cause they're passionate...that's all. There is no why. There is just what is.

A survey asked pizza supremacists and braggarts why they thought their pizza was better than everyone elses, and 100 out of 100 polled responded "Because it is the best".

Meh, I like the pizza soup in a bread bowl because of the buttery crust and stronger flavor in the sauce instead of the thin patina that gets put on most places.

Pizza hut>Boston Pizza> Dominos >

pizza hut has the best deals imo, boston pizza decent quality and dominos is cheap but good.

[belfpala]

Why do east coasters think their pizza is better than other peoples?

Because it is. That's not up for debate.

[Jaylock]

crap pizza is crap

not to mention "Papa John" is a huge douche canoe regardless.

Why do you think he is a "douche canoe?"

[Clone]

Man I didn't know the Papa John guy is such an ass.

In the defense of the company most chains are staffed by high school kids, the quality is going to vary. I live close to a Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's. They are close to equal in quality.

The US has a much higher population than the U.K..

Pssst, that's in the infographic.

I invite you to do the arithmetic.

[Sormine]

BAIT alert. This guy has no data, just deflections.

Was this a shot at me? I actually backed up what I had to say.

Oh and Papa Johns 100% uses fake cheese, I still think its good though

What a surprise. Someone with Tucker Carlson on their profile likes shitty Pizza.

If the decline in NFL viewership is dropping papa johns pizza profits then obviously that pizza ins't good enough to stand on its own. Fuck em.

Before he can really make the claim that it's the NFL's fault, he really needs to open up the books and see where and when his sales are dropping.

Granted, it could be an overall drop in sales, but if - for example - they are losing customers when NFL games are on, then that would be a pretty conclusive piece of evidence that less people are watching football and as thus less people seeing his commercials and less people ordering pizza.

Further, since he has aligned himself on the conservative side and is a Trumper, might that have something to do with his declining sales and not the NFL?

Thus another reason to open the books. Is his sales decline directly related to the start of the NFL season? Or has it gone on all year?

But I would say though is that this could have repercussions on the NFL as a whole though if some of it's big sponsors want to renegotiate the terms of their deals or pull their sponsorships of the NFL altogether because of the decline in viewership due to protests

Personally, at this point, the NFL should just do away with the National Anthem to leave politics out of sports. And if the NFL does this, other sports will follow. I understand it for international sporting events when national teams go against each other like in the Olympics or FIFA, but due to the controversy of it, it seems pointless to keep it.

I mean that's pretty sad. If you are a large chain that can't even maintain customers, without their weekly(?) reminder that you exist, you clearly don't have an appealing enough product.
Even more sad would be if people are so upset with football that they don't even order Pizza from a chain that has absolutely nothing to do with it.

That or people that used to get together to watch football, now don't order Pizza from Papa Johns anymore.

Earlier this year when i visited NYC, i stopped by a few "must go" pizza joints in Brooklyn, under the bridge.
Grimaldi was one. I think Juli something was the other.

Dunno what the big fuzz is, its alright but ill still take a stuffed crust Pizza hut over that "gourmet" stuff anyday.

We usually eat nachos and wings. Not so much pizza for football parties.

Now I'm curious as to what other people have at their get-togethers. Besides beer since that's a given.

Well I was just imagining that people get together, and then the commercial showing Papa Johns subconsciously makes them order Papa Johns, which might have some truth to it, but it still makes the notion somewhat odd that they somehow be affected by the NFL.

I think it's actually amusing that he thinks advertisment really works that way .

Various BBQ'd stuff, Caribbean food, wings, egg rolls, empanadas (various shit that we've learned how to cook. nobody in my fam is from a Carribbean island, Asian, or Hispanic).

Beer, whisky, vodka, cognac. In that order.

Reminds me, I need a fryer.

[Nihilist74]

Papa Johns pizza is ok but it is not very good for the price. I would rather get pizza hut or little ceasers.

I get subliminal messages to turn on that Notorious BIG song, "Big Poppa" when the Papa Johns commercials come on.

I guess it's not really subliminal since the name is part of the title. Liminal messages?

And the Little Caesars CEO isn't a dick.

[LiiLoSNK]

I hate their pizza. The cheese is nasty - it’s never gooey and always splits into pieces. And I don’t like the taste of the sauce.

Sorry that was supposed to be a joke on how they can't prepare a pizza for a decent price or with legitimate toppings.
