One of the worst pizza chains in the US. Also one of the worst CEOs, known for racism and rudeness.

Absolute trash pizza. I hope this venture fails miserably.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY! They support and fund Trump, and their pizza is garbage!

Papa John's pizza is horrible pizza and the owner/CEO is against unions and fair labor and wages. He's also known as a trophy hunter and racist, so all in all, not a place to go. Hope he goes broke. I wouldn't eat his pizza if it was free and I was paid.

What makes 'estadounidenses' think that we are in such a hurry that we need more fast food chains?! We need more good quality but accessible hospitals and housing...how about invest in that?

Correction: Papa John's CEO, who made controversial statements, is no longer with the company. Aside from that, pizza dough made with seed oils will only turn the Portuguese fatter than they already have become as a result of foreign imports of processed foods. Better that the Portuguese go back to caldo de coves, broa, and sardines.

10 more stores, €2.8 million? Presumably located in porta cabins.

I know the power of my voice. I know it makes a difference. There are many fantastic pizzeria in Portugal. I will patronize a local establishment ALWAYS and never step foot into a Papa Johns.
