The founder and former chairman of Papa John’s, John Schnatter, has said that the pizza chain has abandoned the “conservative values” he built it on and is losing customers as a result.

Schnatter made the comments in an interview with the Right Side Broadcasting Network at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas, on Aug. 4.

I'm trying to give a damn that their sales have fallen off but I'm unable to.

Oh, their pizza is horrible too.

True statement, except he’s no longer on the board. He got cancelled after someone goaded him into saying something that was bad...

Well yeah, their employees now like to get out of their delivery cars and physically attack conservatives. I think it’s safe to say they’ve lost their way.

It was never my go-to pizza. Or even back up pizza.

I think it’s for college kids who don’t know better.

Probably would have helped if John wasn’t so dumb when he ran his mouth on conference calls and was recorded

He was definitely an economic conservative but “conservative values” and this guy...well...

Their pizza was good as far as fast food pizza goes, but the mom and pop Italian places are better.

I live in the land of Sally’s Apizza and Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana plus a zillion other Pizza places. No need for Papa John’s.

I go to Papa Murphy's take-and-bake.

Ten dollar Tuesdays gets you a large original crust pizza with five toppings for $10.

Pizza is bad value for the greens forked over for it. I bought a used Breville (with pizza stone) portable oven and make my own. Comes out ok for what it is for however Napoli style pizza not happening with it. Got an electric outlet outside- keeps the oven heat out there too.

It isn’t conservative values” he built it on and is losing customers as a result it’s lack of them by Biden and stooge crew that caused the recession that will last for the next two years.
A lot of businesses are taking the hit because of them.

NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT with anything.
