America's pandemic-induced love affair with pizza shows no signs of slowing down.
That's a huge relief for Papa John's, helping to speed up its turnaround plans. The pizza chain said Tuesday that its North American sales rose 24% over the past four weeks. Internationally, sales were also strong, jumping 23% for the period.

Pappa Johns? The title says the article is about pizza.

Pizza is comfort food.....................
Lol. I noticed that too. I wonder if papa Johns paid for that article. Ha! And I don’t think pizza is cheep like the article claims. I do buy pizza twice a month but there are tons more food cheaper.
Papa John’s ... I guess it’s better than Domino’s? Maybe? Like getting kicked in the shin is better than getting kicked in the nuts. Neither is “good”.
Pizza last night. Leftover pizza for breakfast. Grill cheese sammiches for dinner.
Screw CNN.

With the sit in restaurants closed for 4 months and continuing, only eating places which have a secondary orientation to “take out” are open. Thus why shouldn’t we be “shoving pizza into [our] faces as nearly all pizza places have carry out as half their business. And many pizza places make and sell other entrees.
I can tell you from personal experience my grocery store has been out of pepperoni for over a month.
All we are saying, is give pizza a chance!
Make your own and it’s not expensive. And it tastes so much better...
I don’t care what people say about putting pineapple on pizza...that’s a pretty pie.
Just what America needs, more fat f**** not going to the gym.
There is a local pizza place that makes very good gluten free pizza.
Cutting gluten pretty much out has helped me a lot.
I really miss pizza. Can’t eat it anymore (lactose intolerance). :(
Damn Keto diet, I miss pizza!
Chicken wings sales are up as well
