🍕 Papa Johns: The Pizza Review That Gave Us Indigestion 🍕

We reviewed Papa Johns… in the lobby. One item at a time. On plastic chairs they dug out from the back.

Make no mistake, this branch of Papa Johns rules, but at the end of the day: it's still Papa Johns. After learning the ingredients now arrive in prepackaged plastic bags from an employee literally covered in something the company calls "dust," we had to ask the big question: is Papa Johns objectively as good as Chili's?

Joining me is comedian Nick Stargu, whose multimedia stand-up special "Why Won't You Dance with Me?" is on YouTube. We talk pizza, dipping sauces, employee transparency, and we mess around with his electronic saxophone to blur my voice, whatever that means.
