Papa Johns Pizza — Restaurant in Oʻahu

papa John’s? More like Papa GONE! :( I don’t know where to start. Ordering from Papa John’s was an absolute disaster of epic proportions. We ordered an XL pizza and a large pizza, custom toppings and all, expecting a feast. What did we get? A sad excuse for pizza that left us hungry AND furious. The XL was barely the size of a large, and the large? It looked like something you’d serve to a toddler at a tea party. If that’s what they call “pizza,” I’m scared to see what their personal size looks like—probably just a single pepperoni on a cracker!

And don’t get me started on the price. For what they charge, I expected a mountain of cheesy perfection. Instead, we got tiny, overpriced cardboard circles that wouldn’t feed a family of ants.

But wait, it gets worse! The delivery driver “conveniently” forgot the 2-liter sodas we ordered. No big deal, right? We figured we’d just call the store and sort it out. Well, think again. Even though their hours clearly said they were open until midnight, they shut down at 9:45 PM! Phones were dead, online ordering was off, and the store may as well have vanished into the void. Talk about convenience—for them!

This place is an absolute joke. They don’t just serve pizza—they serve regret. If you’re looking for overpriced disappointment and a side of frustration, this is your place. Otherwise, save your money and your sanity....

The pizza is very inconsistent depending on the cook or the manager who made the food. If the person sauced the cheese evenly and took the time and effort to spread the toppings, cheese and sauce, the pizza will taste amazing. If that is not the case, the pizza will be under cooked in places with excess sauce, over cooked in places with light cheese and sauce, and it will taste weird and different in areas with too many or too little toppings. I can't really really complain because everyone who makes your pizza is very underpaid earning like 7 dollars an hour take home after taxes. Very often they have less than two minutes per pizza. And if their patience and principles are not made of steel, they will just toss the stuff onto the pizza and send it into the oven. You get what you pay for, and unfortunately pizza chains don't really pay that much to their employees. I understand why and how my pizza tastes so bad half of the time, and i sympathize with the business and the employees, but at the end of the day, paying 20-30 dollars for a pizza that tastes bad, is not a good deal. 2 stars. I wish pizza chains would raise the pay for cooks or at least fire the low...

If your looking for pizza this is not the place to order it from, it was way over cooked so dry that it made 29 palms look refreshing. It wasn't even cut into slices. By far the worst Papa John's experience i have ever had we tried to eat it but it wasn't even worth it. The one star that was given was for their wings brownies which were the only things that were edible.

If you want my advise go somewhere else where they are going to take pride in the product that they are serving to the customer, and won't cost an...
