Papa Johns Pizza — Restaurant in Alhambra

We were in Alhambra, a place I am not too familiar with and my grandson insisted we stop at Papa Johns because he saw it on TV. Now, I told him we have been to others and it is not good. He said this one will be. He was starving. We went.

There is nothing nice about this place. The parking is free is the nicest thing I can come up with.

The place gets too dark with little outdoor lighting. The exterior is down right creepy.

You walk in and the place is somewhat clean, but really, I was the only one there, can someone not get a broom.

We ordered our pizza and waited and waited and in about 35 minutes they gave it to us.

They were not friendly, they were not polite. There was no thank you. They did not even greet us when we came in. We went to the counter and finally someone spoke, "what do you want?"

We took the pizza with us and when we opened the box it had somehow been shaken I guess, or maybe they dropped it, I know I did not and it was in pieces. The bottom of the box was dirty. It had these little fruit flies, not on the pizza, but on the bottom of the box. Gross.

The pizza was disgusting. It was hot, however. It all went in the trash. I was worried we would get sick.

Don't go here. It is the worst.

You can buy the cheapest frozen pizza, cook it wrong, burn it and it would still be...

This review is specifically for whoever was working around dinner time (6pm) on Dec 30, 2024. I'm not one to leave reviews, but I felt compelled to for the service and food we received today. The lady who greeted my brother and I at this location was so warm and pleasant, and when we got home, my entire family agreed that the pizza was surprisingly the best we've ever gotten from this location. You can tell a level of care was put into each pizza, and it wasn't just blindly thrown together (which we've gotten before). We don't know if it was the same lady that made the pizzas, but we wanted to acknowledge the food and service we received today. Honestly 6 out of 5 stars when you...

1st: Experience: Horrible- took over 1hr & a half to get my pizza. When i called numerous times, they said the driver was in front of my house, which was a lie. I canceled- 10min later the driver arrives. I refused my order, and choose to drive elsewhere. 2nd Experience: i chose to pick-up(carry out) this time in order to avoid last times experience; this time was told that they charge for cheese (packets) in a very disturbing way, as if i was angering them for requesting free packets. I've had better papa johns else where and my experience with the location has been awful. I will never buy from this...
