My niece’s husband ran and eventually managed a Papa John’s...he said the cost of the ingredients for a pizza was about 50 cents.

Glad to hear that Papa John’s doesn’t support Obamacare. We get Papa John’s about once a month, good pizza..takeout for about 7 bucks with all the toppings.

>>Schnatter later added: “If Obamacare is in fact not repealed, we will find tactics to shallow out any Obamacare costs and core strategies to pass that cost onto consumers in order to protect our shareholders best interests,”

Your shareholders already don’t get any of my money because your pizza sucks and costs too much.

a wsj article today (some where) was saying the food service industry would sooner and more others be an industry that will need to raise prices, let people go, end their company employee health care plans, and/or any combination of those things due to ObamaSnare.

Can he at least raise the flavor first?

(only partially sarcastic - we sell Papa John's at my work and all the ones around here suck royally)

“pizza will cost up to 14 cents more...”

If I were Papa John, I wouldn’t be so quick to put an upper limit on that.

He should do what so many other products have done. Lower the size, increase the price and call it, "new & improved".

I hope Papa John is prepared to be audited every year for the rest of the century if Barry gets re-elected.

It should be prominently listed on the receipt as a surcharge.

Wow, Obama willk say- “A whole 14 cents”

But i think he means that the original cost of ingredients which are probably under a buck will rise 14cent - he should have stuck to percentages

Because when you add in electricity, water, rent, gas, etc etc the cost of the entire pizza will probably go up a good 14% AT LEAST

I think Mr. Schnatter has mis-calculated. He is basing his $.14 increase on static conditions, i.e. operating costs as they exist today. What he has NOT factored in are the cost increases passed on to him by every vendor he deals with upstream in his supply chain. After Obamacare ratchets up the prices of everything he buys (rent, utilities, groceries, kitchen equipment, shipping, fuel, advertising, etc., etc.) he then will have a new starting point with which to begin his calculation. I think that $.14 figure will increase by a factor of ten to twelve. But what do I know about the pizza biz? I only know how to eat it.

Not surprised founder is a conservative. Papa Johns is a quality product.

You know Papa Johns probably saw what happened to the increased sales due to ChickfLa and decided that might work for him too.

In fact let me pre-order a Large Works (thicker crust of course) for Friday night now.
