Food companies understand that Americans are increasingly interested in buying food that actually seems worth eating. We want food that's some degree of fresh, healthy, natural or otherwise of higher quality. It's for this reason that you see images of plump fruit decorating packages of cereal bars and the greenest broccoli you've ever laid eyes upon appearing on boxes of frozen dinners. At Burger King, you don't order a mere salad - it's a Chicken Caesar Garden Fresh Salad. Those chips aren't just cheese-flavored - they're Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, with "harvest cheddar" an entirely meaningless term. Few companies have applied this appeal more literally than Papa John's, which for years has boasted "Better pizza. Better ingredients." Printed on every Papa John's pizza box is a little story: "When I founded Papa John's in 1984, my mission was to build a better pizza," says "Papa" John Schnatter. "I went the extra mile to ensure we used the highest quality ingredients available - like fresh, never frozen original dough, all-natural sauce, veggies sliced fresh daily and 100 percent real beef and pork. We think you'll taste the difference." After all, who wouldn't want fresher, better ingredients in their pizza? A great deal of the food we currently eat, both from the supermarket and at chain restaurants, is comprised of ingredients created as cheaply as possible (tomatoes chosen for their shipability, not flavor; chicken as bland as a pizza box because the bird only lived for 10 weeks and ate a monotonous diet) and highly processed additives, many of them not even technically edible...

I think so, too. This is less about the quality of ‘zza being served by Papa, and more about his failure to be a good little follower of the current administration’s policies.
Yahoo sucks.
Thanks, I’ll check out Piece Pizza.
Mmmm. Love Papa Johns.
Papa Johns pizza is terrible. So is Dominos and Pizza Hut. I remember Pizza Hut’s pizza tasting a LOT better when I was a kid and the family went out to eat on Friday nights (when they still had sit-down restaurants.)
I’d gladly pay a few bucks more if Pizza Hut went back to their old ways of making pizzas.
Is this an attack against a conservative Christian business owner who just happened to criticize Obamacare?
They use anti bloating agents in their pizzas!!
In fact they spray them with real cheese flavored misting agents, which has been approved by FDA.

You know what, I like fast food. I like McDonalds, Popeyes, Dominos, etc. I don’t care who doesn’t like it. If I didn’t have a family I’d never cook again. I am tired of planning, cooking and cleaning up. If I lived alone, which I hope to some day, I never plan on cooking again.
I hate vegatables, fish and don’t much care for fruit. Everybody else can eat that stuff and I’ll eat what I like. If I die sooner because of it, I don’t really care. I’m going to enjoy eating what I want to.
BTW, for the hysterical out here...I’m jus kidden...
No more little blue pills for you!
Yep.
When we were kids (60's-70's) Dad would sometimes take us on Sunday to a small Italian deli entered on the side of a private home where the hours were noon to 4. He'd order 6 large subs and the old ladies in the back (never seen) would make them and about a half hour later they were ready.
The 1/2 hour ride home was torture as they smelled heavenly. They tasted even better.
The old ladies went to their reward, the business closed, and I haven't had a comparable sub since.
You’re pikers with a weak, sissified copy of the original. The first pizzeria was opened in the Chicago Loop in the late 19th century. Your pizzas were in diapers while we were on the 2nd and 3rd generation and innovations in pizza all came out of Chicago. Come to your senses man, stop putting that garbage in your mouth. I understand that the Chicago pizza is more than the tomate past toilet paper New Yorkers are used to, but you’ll sleep with the fishes if you keep eating that garbage. Come to Chicago, we’ll take care of you, capisce?
Pizza Hut isn’t any better. Yuck!
> This strikes me as a foolish approach in an age when American eaters are demanding more transparency (see GMO labeling) when it comes to food, not less.
IOW, Tinfoil Hat Brigade ping.
No, "we" don't. Frankly, I couldn't care less about "fresh" or "natural." Food isn't "healthy"; people are. And "quality" is a meaningless buzzword, entirely subjective.
What I want is food that tastes good. I'd prefer it not kill me, but hey, we all gotta go some time, and if I croak with my face in a plate of barbequed ribs, at least I won't die a tofu-squirting pansy.
Surprised no one has mentioned Papa Murphy’s take-and-bake. Very good pizza at a very reasonable price.
FYI, Vancouver, WA has the highest per capita number of pizza restaurants in the country. Can get any style you want and most of it is very good.
He was blasted in the media.
The mouthpieces have probably figured most American attention spans have forgotten and so it is time to re-extract revenge. Especially since the failure in chief's 0care failure is having such a glorious rollout.
Pizza IMO is about the only good thing about Chicago.
For those of us who are fortunate enough to live OUTSIDE Chicago, specially out here on the Southwest Side, we all know that Beggars Pizza is KING!!!
Ah, but is that a skinless or natural casing dog, because if not, no way I’d eat it. /s
