Papa Johns Pizza — Restaurant in Locust

(Now Open! - Sept 22 ) Not Open for business, yet. Better Ingredients, Better Pizlease wait and don't ask the construction crew for a pizza. It might slow them down. And, they are good at building stuff and Eating Pizza... Not making it. Well except for Stan. He's been taking a life enhancement class at Stanly College with his wife, who signed them up for 'Baking: Without Using the Microwave'. Good for them! Getting that spark back into the marriage life and helping to make cooking time their special time in the midst of their busy family life... They really have bonded again over baking. We could probably all could benefit from taking a baking class. Ahhhhh and all because of Pizza. Pizza! Is there any issue that pizza cannot solve? It is Quiet possibly, the World's most prefect food. . Thanks John! for bringing pizza to life. (and, er, thank you corporate entity for expanding in our direction, and paying taxes in our county).

☕Coffee Rating: 1 out of 5 (When I stopped by, I snuck some of Stan's coffee when he was installing the oven vents... And I don't know how old his coffee maker is, but DUDE! I think I found the origin of his marriage troubles. Sheeeeesh!)

Enjoy the waiting and anticipation of when this pizzeria opens... the denial only makes the first bite of pizza perfection better.

Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in...

Ordered 2 different online orders under the same name. When we went to get them they handed me one and I explained I had two orders under the same name. Was told it wasnt ready. I stood outside waiting and eventually went back in. My second order had been on the very bottom shelf and continued to sit for the 20 minutes I stood outside waiting. The girl didnt check to see if that was it first time in. Only reason I got it was because a different employee came over. Now to the food, opening days can have a bunch going on. With that said the pizza(2 mediums 1 large) tasted rushed that or the extra time it sat until they gave it to me could be to blame who knows. The wings(2 10 piece 1 buffalo 1 garlic parm) were barley drizzled with sauce any less and they would have been plain. I know first few days open can be hectic, but it shouldn't equal...

I put my order in first thing and I was waiting on it to be an hour from the time I ordered it, but Miss Kimberly was here in 30 minutes with very nice hot cooked amazing pizza. Delivery was fantastic. I think I will use Kimberly every single time. Food was fresh and that has to be the best Papa John’s Pizza I’ve ever tasted in my life. Good job...
