Papa Johns Pizza — Restaurant in Hemet

For a fast food pizza establishment, this location was completely unprepared for a Friday evening. I was amongst 7 people waiting to pickup orders, that were previously placed through apps. I personally waited 30 minutes for an order that should have been ready upon arrival. I was picking up my own order, while most were attempting to pick up Door Dash orders. After watching the chaos, I can say that the young lady at the front counter was 75% the issue. Her lack of coordination and urgency was apparent to all customers. While she was kind, for the most part, she got pretty nasty when she threw the garlic sauce in my pizza box and gave me a snarky, "Have a good day". This was after I asked her for my order twice, once I noticed it was ready (and already paid for). As much as we like Papa John's, we won't be ordering from this location again. For fast food pizza, the food was good. Not bad, not great. But met expectations. As for the other employees, most looked to be hustling (especially the young lady cutting the pizzas, tagging the boxes, and finishing the orders). Kudos to you, girl!! Keep up the great work ethic. That'll get you places. To whoever was the manager on duty, YOU should have manned the front for a bit to get things under control. That's what you're paid for, to manage the store, every aspect of it, within your control, of course. Note: Two Door Dashers left without thier orders due to the unnecessary wait time. One said, "Good luck" as...

I know people 5 people who have worked here and heard the same from all. First they never followed COVID face covering protocol, people who work here go the the rest room and don’t wash their hands, numerous employees will not eat the food unless cooked by the self’s because they don’t trust the hygiene of others oh and when employees complain about hygiene issues they are ignored and they hygiene problem is never fixed, drugs being done by management using cocaine and marijuana done during work hours and just because it is used in an electric device we still know what it is and smells like oh and sexual harassment is not taken seriously and employees get fired for reporting. Just go somewhere else the current manager would not give me upper management number and he smokes weed during his shift as well as touch other employees against their will. Will never eat at this establishment that also feeds its customers...

Tuesday 9-16-25 (3:00-3:45 pm) wanted pizza for dinner and weekly leftovers. The pizza place I like is in Temecula but didn’t want to drive 40 minutes to get my Extra Large Veggie and added Pepperoni.

I crossed a lot of pizza places never me in Hemet, but decided on Papa John’s 15 minutes away.

Not only did they customized their Veggie version they added Pepperoni to it as well.

Pizza family, don’t count out Papa John’s on Florida in Hemet/San Jacinto

The outside area may look like a ghost town this location was so so clean and organized. The beautiful lady that made my pizza was beautiful and friendly to where I gave her the name Beautiful.

Thank you Beautiful Lafy for customizing my pizza but making it so so DE LI COUS. I ate 5 (Before Photo) out of the 10 slices, it was so gooooooood.

And NO, I’m not an employee...
