SharkTums Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Granted Papa John's pizza is better than Six Flags Pizza, but is it really quality???? I was hoping for Pizza Hut...or even Hungry Howies or Little Cesars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 My personal thoughts (as stated before ) is that Papa John's is as quality as it gets with the chains - I personally don't care for the taste from Pizza Hut, but to each his own... (...massive penis, Elissa!) Little Ceasers is still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisFL Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I love Papa John's, it my favorite of the chain pizza places, followed by Little Caesars... As long as it isn't Domino's!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatOne Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Granted Papa John's pizza is better than Six Flags Pizza, but is it really quality???? I was hoping for Pizza Hut...or even Hungry Howies or Little Cesars! Hungry Howies would've been great...but they have a somewhat limited national reach, whereas Papa John's are everywhere. I think Six Flags was looking for something big, unfortunately. I definitely would love to see more Hungry Howie's around! -Bryan "buttered cheese + cajun crust=amazing" Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_am_Em0_0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Please tell me they will still have pizza pucks!. If it was not for those little buggers I would leave the park for lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I like this idea since Papa Johns is my favorite brand of pizza! The best part of Papa Johns pizza is the garlic dipping sauce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Awesome now I can get a $4 Papa John's pizza at Six Flags and pay $10. I'm sure it will be just as good a quality as a real Papa Johns, which isn't really that spectacular to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAm Shock Wave Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 ^ To say that Papa John's pizza isn't that spectacular is an understatement. They put way too much tomatoe sauce on. It literally tastes like catchup on Wonder bread. I guess I'll be going back to ordering hotdogs at SFGAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Anything that comes with a hot pepper is fine by me. This isn't that big of a deal to me. If each can make a little bit of money off of it, then good for them. All of this Little Ceasar's talk reminds me of my days working at it as a summer job a couple of years back. I'm not even really sure if they still franchise out anymore. Maybe they do in other regions of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Papa John's is my favorite chain pizza, right after Pizza Hut Hand-Tossed (I hate their pan pizza). Both are high on my list because they actually put a good amount of sauce on the pizza, though Papa's could be a bit spicier. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this, cuz the crap they serve there now is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Being from New York, we're pretty particular about our Pizza. (Yes, the obsession extends far north of NYC) I actually split a pizza with a friend at SFDL once in 1999, and it actually wasn't bad. It's a shame Pizza Hut didn't get this deal, but Papa John's is just as good. Around here, we're more into local chains, like Pudgies Pizza, as well as individual pizza places like Pizza Aroma. At least it's a step up from the park-made, almost Chuck E Cheese level of pizza that I've eaten at other parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even really sure if they still franchise out anymore. Maybe they do in other regions of the country. They're actually launching a new franchising initiative in New England. They fell on hard times and are finally getting back on their feet. I read an article where they'd like to open 1000 stores with 3-4 years.

SonOfBeastSucks Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I have had better pizza of course, but as far as national pizza chains go, this is one of the better ones in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same exact opinion as you! Wierd..... My third favorite is Pizza Hutt. Any of those 3 would have suit my fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 If only they'd made a deal with Florimonte's Deli or the Jamestown Pie Company in Williamsburg . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
