Papa John's founder ate 40 pizzas in 30 days, says 'it doesn't taste as good'

[TexasTowelie]

Papa John’s founder John Schnatter says the pizza company’s quality of food has gone downhill since he was removed as CEO.

Schnatter stepped down as the public face of Papa John’s at the end of 2017 after he publicly criticized NFL leadership over football players’ protests during the national anthem. Six months later, he resigned as chairman of the board due to backlash over his use of the N-word on a conference call with shareholders.

In a new interview with Kentucky TV station WDRB, Schnatter said the company he started in 1984 has declined over the past two years.

“I’ve had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days, and it’s not the same pizza,” Schnatter said. “It’s not the same product. It just doesn’t taste as good... The way they’re making the pizza is just not fundamental to what makes a Papa John’s pizza."

before putting them on the pizza. Yuck!

5. This guy is just nasty. He also said, the new CEO should be

in jail..which sounds awfully familiar.
Why does his voice suddenly sound like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs?

7. Wow he does sound like Bill

[dewsgirl]

9. Has he always been so icky? If I ran into to him and I was

alone, I wouldn't feel safe. Something about him oozes sleazebag.

[Dave Starsky]

23. And why is he drenched?

He looks like a drunk guy who fell off a boat and was found wrapped in kelp on the shore.

[VOX]

8. Shell Oil is interested in obtaining the drilling rights to this guy's scalp.

He looks absolutely marinated in grease.🤢

[JHB]

10. So what's his excuse for how it tasted all the years he was in charge?

[underpants]

11. No kidding

I'm a bit of a pizza snob having worked in an unbelievable stand alone pizza place back in the day. I've actually turned down Papa Johns pizza at a work place event. It was free.

21. +1

13. It took him 40 pizzas to realize this?

I guess he gets a discount.

"Boy, the food here is really horrible."
"I know. And the servings are so small!"

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Beat Me!

One & 1/3 pizzas per day to do the comparison?
His taste buds are dead, making his conclusions worthless!

[Iggo]

15. It never was all that great, Mr Schnatter. But that wasn't the point.

You're a bigoted piece of shit.

THAT was the point.

[Nature Man]

16. Shit man

shit pizza

[Vinnie From Indy]

17. I'd rather eat the Papa John's box than the Pizza

[USALiberal]

20. Please do and let us know how it went! Nt

[Initech]

22. Probably has more nutritional value!

[Maeve]

18. Maybe he shouldn't order them with sour grapes

Haven't bought those over-priced pizzas in a dozen years--Zanzi's does it better!
