I had a great experience at Papa John’s. Ajay was awesome to work with. He was friendly, patient, and helped me with my order in the best way possible. His service was so good that I ended up ordering cheese sticks and pizza more than once. The food was fresh, hot, and really tasty. I appreciate the great service and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

No menu cards . All TVs weren’t working for me to look at the prices of all items . Good location … right on rt 27. My kids wanted to have a quick dinner and we stopped by this papa’s John location … lots of parking outside . Wasn’t crowded when we went . Ordered and got the food in 10 mins . Ordered a pizza, cheese stick and garlic sticks . About 35$ . I thought it was a it expensive .. Pizza was good . I thought cheese breads were like the old days but this was almost like another pizza … garlic sticks were average . Kids liked it overall. Good experience…
