Hubby is a truck driver and we are at a TA in Tuscaloosa AL. Ordered from papa John's they told us it would be about an hour got it less time than they said. Was delivered nice and hot and the driver also called to make sure they could find us since we are at a truck stop.

Very good pizza. I can't give it 5 stars because it took awhile to pay for my order because the girl was in training and was having problems. Also Pizza hut is my favorite so I'm keeping the 5th star for them.

I ordered on the website, I guess wires got crossed and my food was delivered to the wrong address, I call the store manager and he was PHENOMENAL! He remade my order and sent it to the correct address, the food was for my kids and I can’t thank him enough for making this right, I didn’t catch his name but give him a raise please!

We ordered Poppa Johns while out of town and somehow the order ended up going back to our local Poppa Johns location (this store). I contacted the store to let them know what happened. I had paid for the pizza online, so I figured I'd be out the cost of pizza that I wouldn't get. The store manager was so understanding and refunded my money!!! I'm sure it was a mistake I made on the app while ordering, but they didn't question it! I was sooo impressed and I'm so glad to be a regular customer of this location!!!

We ordered delivery, they sent it via door dash. The door dash driver stole our food. The manager Johnny replaced our order and was very professional about the situation.
