The last time I purchased a PJ pizza it was $9.99.
And it still wasn’t worth it. Super low quality crap.

I just checked, a standard large pepperoni for delivery is over $20 before tipping the driver. Gee, I wonder why no one is ordering?

I worked at Laser Quest for years and there was a PJ’s in the parking lot. When we would order birthday pizzas, they would always bring us a staff pie, usually cheese. Super nice gesture but after a few months I couldn’t even look at their pies, for years after I quit, without mentally tasting that cup of garlic grease and pepperoncini. 🤢🤮

You didn’t use the two-for-one coupon?
Didn’t need two. I prefer the bachelor life.
One for today, one for tomorrow. Y’all gotta learn to plan ahead.

5.50 delivery fee.
A fee they pay for a tipped employee likely not making minimum wage.
You’re paying them a fee to pay someone else less than minimum wage to drive it to you. They’re forcing you to tip the company.

And you still have to tip the driver (which I don’t mind).
Fuck any companies that do this.

My guess is they don’t even pay a driver or liability. I assume they just contract to a dasher so if anything goes wrong, Papa just points his finger at Übermensch.

Look, buy what you want, I don’t care for Papa John, but the thing is this: People are resistant to higher prices, and yet inflation has existed (nevermind that our wages haven’t risen to keep up).
These delivery fees are to help make up for that inflation. People won’t buy the higher price pizza, so you gotta get the money in somehow.
If you track pizza prices from 20-30 years ago, you’re paying - generally speaking - around the same, give or take. And in fact, if you get the average “carryout” deal, you’re paying less.
So it sucks, but that’s why they play these games.
