- In early 2017, Papa John’s was enjoying steady growth, a high-profile partnership with the NFL and rapid international expansion. But its winning streak didn’t last - by 2018, Papa John’s future looked bleak. North America same-store sales growth plummeted in the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2017, and stayed negative for 6 straight quarters after that. Here’s where Papa John’s went wrong.

What Happened To Papa John’s?
This video is definitely being recommended in 4 years out of nowhere.
Hello 2024~ :o
(Papa John himself was on the H3H3 podcast today)
@@Imaxxacre1 i thought i was the only one here that watched it
This video is so wrong lol
H3H3 just had a podcast with John. That's why brah, they're cashing in on that sweet relevant ad revenue.
Shaq endorses so many products it's hard to remember them all.
😂 fr
czcams.com/video/1tF2dF67Q2c/video.html can't forget Gold Bond... ever :)
Someone make a compilation!
Lando Calrissian 💰
@Lando Calrissian that's the same move by the NFL hiring Jay-Z as head of entertainment.
Interesting that this video gets recommended shortly after john makes a statement on how he feels he was sabotaged and received positive feedback
What’s killing Papa Johns is the fact that their service is horrific. No matter where I’ve gone, and given them a chance, the delivery order is wrong and never any accountability. I eventually just gave up and have stopped ordering. The pizza is actually very good but not worth the hassle in getting the order right and delivered on time.
I'm sorry :-( I rem that experience with dominos it was a nightmare. My local PJ hasn't failed me yet tho.
That’s more of a store thing than a brand thing, the first store I ever worked at with papa johns was absolute hell, it was me and my manager running the whole show and you know damn well we messed up some nights. The next papa John I worked at, near my college, was much more organized and we barely got any complaint calls back
That’s just where you ate it from. My papa johns isn’t amazing but it’s still organized and I almost always get the right stuff
The pizza is nasty as hell
So accurate
Why is there always some random guy doing a phone call interview
yeah that guy was just hating on Papa J without any facts
Derek Charette can you do better?
Makes it legit
Papa John's don't pay minimum wage
Ironic....they post this just as H3H3 had their daily show with John...
The day of reckoning
Lol was thinking the same thing
Papabless
thats not what irony is
Yeah but they twisted the video to make John look like villain when in reality he did nothing wrong
If your town is big enough to get a Papa Johns..... your town has LOCAL "mom-n-pop" pizza places which have much better pizza.
This
Come to Savannah Georgia... All the pizza is garbage.
Debatable in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. I have a Papa John's in my area but no mom and pop pizza shops near me. But im open to other people's views
No you can make you pizza from scratch with a thing called yeast it’s not that hard. And those family owned places always have like a c health rating and bugs
Jim Halpert then done live there if it’s so bad
He wanted keep up quality for cost. The board basically black listed him and kicked him out. Then they cut costs of all their pizzas and quality dived
What quality??? The pizza tastes the way it looks like on TV....Washed out with no flavor.
Michael Mapes it’s the best pizza ever
what drop in quility? They still use all the same ingredients.
Go back where you belong and were cherished
@@michaelmapes4119 you’re tripping
I dont eat Papa Johns anymore simply because somehow its not as good as before.
@@Jj-gi2uv Papa got kicked out and quality started going down
I quit ordering Papa John's several years ago because I my opinion the quality had fallen off far too much. It used to be my favorite.
COOLBIAN57 pizza from any chain type pizza places like papa John’s, dominos, little ceasers are all trash pizza, it’s like eating rubber. I guess it depends where you live, because it’s NEVER even crossed my mind to order from one of these places, but I’m spoiled living in NYC which has the best pizza on the planet.
Caleb no it went bad while he was still in power
pietkrijger your a moron. I travel to Italy 2-3 times a year to see my parents, I’ve eaten more than enough Italy pizza. There is no comparison to pizza from NYC. Keep dreaming buddy.
"Papa Bless"

justice for papa
You have no pizza experience
Papa Bless my friend
Papa: I didn’t use the n-word the way they said I -
Me: Do you have your passport? 🎶 did you get your shots? 🎵 Papa would you like to come back with me, to Americaaaa???
LOL!
They've made one about every pizza chain's decline now.
What's next? How about, "What happened to CNBC?"
I'm with you on this one. They don't do their research at all
@@GK-mu5rn It's not about research. It's about propaganda.
There’s no Papa John’s without the John
ToadyEN The John is in the back.
The reckoning has begun
He get his company back
I hope they down fall realize need papa john back
Almost all of the Chain are owned by "Not Papa john".
Time to stop being stupid. He is only the name. Not the products.
Part of the recovery is the economy. Domino's and others had cheaper pizza while people were penny pinching.
Some Guy I dunno. Pizza is always a razor thin margin business. Neighborhood pizza is generally the best, though more expensive. In a high competition marketplace, the quality is rarely going to be head and shoulders. So value is the way to go.
Alot of the brick and mortar pizza joints offers things many franchises do not have, like pizza by the slice or even a full bar. Some are even open after the bars close which you cannot get with a franchise like Domino's. It's all about filling a need.
I’d prefer going to a local pizza shop than Papa John’s for quality.
Except the price of domino's is cheaper but delivering charge is 4 bucks where I'm at.
@@gonzostwin1 It is $5 where I am. Domino's makes billions from just that delivery fee!
Their problem is their CEO has NO experience in the pizza category
I've had 40 pizzas in 30 days.
@@determineddad7935 I've had 40 pizzas, not ate 40 pizzas
True, look if you are going to mange a restaurant you should know the quality of the good and not the marketing stunt it’s about the pizza or chicken flavor spice and texture not just a pizza priced at $19 for a chicken with terrible bucket of chicken.
😭 🤣 not even in the pizza category.
The only problem is they are too expensive
Who else loves the garlic sauce of Papa John's 🤩
No
@@phiIiptx Yes

The best!

Pizza Hut: Yo, you good?
They need to bring in someone with pizza experience to achieve a 10 point pizza. Papa bless.
Pizza category
Not one of these companies can make a pizza. Not one of the burger players can make a burger.
All the big boys sell a “convenience compromise”.
Who’s here from the H3 podcast with Papa John?
me
I'm all fired up to protest all these news channels
Shhhhh!!! The algorithm is listening

After watching the video about Gabriel's trumpet loved it🤣🤣🤣🤣
The pizzas are so sweet. Their tomato sauce tastes like they dumped a pound of sugar for every pound of sauce.
What place has the most savory sauce?

Yeah I have also noticed that in their tomato sauce, and I'm out for it

Pretty much see you then hope you keep your acct active :) right now feb 12 2020 hope longevity and happiness .....message to myself : I love you!
what? are you trying to copy a joke.. the video isnt even 2 year old.. where did you get 4 years from.. the first comment you stole the joke from...🙄🤦🏼♂️

CNBC really upping their CZcams game.
@Mark Lance what does h3h3 stand for, I know it's the holy fupa, but does h3h3 have an actual meaning.
Right? A lot of interesting stuff being posted.
It means go watch the “H3 Podcast” that features the founder. There was a CZcams video released a couple days ago that depicts everything CNBC just said.
@@condify I already did i lost interest in 10 seconds when The Man who tried to outpizza the hut was blocked from explaining pizza crust by Ethan who wanted to toast the pizza. Does h3h3 the name actually have any meaning other than just 2 h's and 2 3's.
Mamba Out so glad I know about this channel
Meanwhile our local chain, Mountain Mike's pizza just makes good pizza for both dine in and delivery. So I buy from them.
Have you tried Marco's Pizza ?
I love PapaJohns with the garlic dipping sauce. Haven’t had it in years though 🚀🚀🐶🌙
Don't bother wasting your time, the pizzas now are trash, and the dippng sauce is now tasteless. Poorer ingredients, poorer pizzas.
Shout out to all the people who watched the h3 podcast with him and know the truth. They new ceo has no pizza experience
I know wtf not even the pizza category?!
Mark Shapiro should be in jail
And that is why It taste like ass now. The crust is garbage.
Bo should be the new CEO
They should feel terrible about themselves for losing to Pizza hut.
Malcolm M no one out pizzas the hut
Pan pizzas at Ph are the best!
@Malcolm M Nah, Pizza hut is trash tbh.
@Malcolm M Pizza Hut >>can
Pizza Hut is trash bowling alley pizza
My family got Papa John's almost every Friday for 20 years until recently, since they kicked out the founder the quality has gone so far downhill that we get pizza elsewhere now
Every time i've ordered from them in the past 20 years the pizza was awful. It's dry and bland, from Nashville to Pensacola and finally to Chicago where I've lived since 2009 it's the same dreadful garbage every time. The only redeeming feature used to be their crust but they changed that a couple of years ago and now the whole thing is inedible. I mean seriously, why do they only put a tablespoon of sauce on their pizzas?
It's not really that hard. They are lowering the cost and selling crap what's why I don't buy their pizza anymore and I used to buy it. Simple. Don't mess around with business tactics. This case its pretty self explained
Wow really they are super high quality and you are saying they were once even higher quality than that. I did not know you could get any higher quality and freshness. Still better than any takeaway in the world with freshness and quality. And still cutting prices in half for customers for all that. What should cost 60 cost only 30. That is why I go to papaj
wow. they did it to themselves. i can't believe after these years they have not learn a thing about business. people now are not stupid, they know the quality.
Charging 40$ for one large pizza delivery is what they did wrong.
what?
what are you saying? Never heard of this.
+Ruben. Order a pizza delivered in Norway and it will cost you around 60$ (1$ at 8NOK).
At my local Papa John's you can get a large carry-out pizza for $6.99 (USD) at lunch time and delivery is between $15-$20 depending on what I get.
@@alkalinefailure God damn lucky, only had Papa John's once and it was good. Would buy again if it was $7 here
@12:47 the graph should say Q3 FY2019. It says Q3 FY2018.
A large pizza at papa johns is like $16 what do you think happened?
thats cause you not using coupon codes. but to your defense you dont really pla on buying pizza based on codes. but you got me messed up paying 16. but whenever codes do come out i make sure i get one.
As someone who has worked and mastered the pizzas at Papa John's, Pizza Hut and Domino's, I must say that a good and fast pizza relies on who is preparing it.
Of course working like a carrying mule and being paid the same does take its toll on your motivation.
The rest depends on good marketing and business strategy.
They started stealing from their drivers , lawsuits ensued . That’s what happened.
😂 lol 😂 right after the h3 podcast! I see you CNBC.
😂 they tryna get some views of the H3 hype
Sometimes in the media industry, you push up deadlines for pieces because the longer they wait, the more people would have gotten the information in another way (h3h3 in this case). For me, I actually just discovered the h3h3 podcast from this comment section
@@AndrewCislak You didn't miss out on anything. Their podcast is awful.
@@tiborklein5349 thanks for letting me know!
@@AndrewCislak No problem. Sadly their podcast is really lackluster because Ethan is very narrow-minded and prejudiced, believes all kinds of conspiracy theories and he barely lets their guests speak. And Hila is just decoration. She adds no value to the whole thing whatsoever.
Hands down best pizza.. all I was looking forward to after my deployment.
Just learning humans are starting to deliver pizzas via drones was worth watching 😄
Year 2025: *And the CZcams algorithm brought us here together*
It's actually 2020 when you made this comment
I’m early for once yay... 😂
Yeah we early
Bring papa back, it actually sounds like he was blackmailed on that conference call which was a call on descrimination.
100% agree !!
Exactly Malcolm X was ahead of his time when it hated that the Democrat Party has way too much power
They can make anyone look however they want to
The people who rhyme with the word news & the Democrats have been in the business of demonizing minorities and every other group of people whenever they say see fit
should be high time that they be taken down
@@susiebear3316 WTF are you babbling about Trumper? #Cult45
Funny how the media created a second pizzagate during the first pizzagate .
I always pick “little Caesars” because I’m cheap, if I splurge I go get “papa Murphy’s”😅
Stop being cheap cheapo
Yuck "little sleezers", nasty. Only pizza joint to give me food poisoning.
I'm 45 and have never even heard of Papa Murphy's but I did notice the name in the top 6 pizza chains lists they displayed. I assume they are not in the eastern U.S. as much as the other chains?
@Nathan Beliveau yes
How about Papa Louie's
The day of reckoning will come
your damn right my friend!!!!!!

The introduction of tracker back in the days was phenominal and innovative.
Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks Domino's and Pizza Hut are bomb and Papa John's taste like yeast.
Only thing good there was the garlic sauce
@@TheQsanity eww wtf who uses melted butter to dip in bro 😂
As long as little ceasers keeps selling $5 pizza everything is fine
Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars and Papa John’s are still straight greasy garbage though. Support your local pizza joint if you have one nearby
Pizza Patron? Lol bet
Our local food shops are a greasy spoon. I can only stomach so many Scottish breakfasts and chips and cheese.
Only one we got rlly is 97¢ pizza and people have got food posioning
Its a fast food place lol
Is your comment a joke?

A lot of rappers need to work on it
Who else is here after watching H3 pod?
Papa Johns was my favorite but it fell off, now I go with Costco
Lol, I thought you would say Domino's.
There was something about Papa John's pizza that I didn't like. I don't know if it was the sauce or what. I haven't had one of their pizzas in a long time.
nice, Costco gets over looked. I just wish they delivered lol
Costco has really bad, runny sauce. But they have great cheese and dough
@@SacredFire777 I don't personally like the tomato sauce or the bbq sauce but everything else is super fine.
“What happened to Papa John’s?”: Papa John
Let's be honest, not only Papa John's declined but the whole pizza quality is at a historical bottom... For example, 90s Pizza Hut's pizza has no connection with what they're selling today.
Ha you guys couldn’t get an interview but team Ethan and Hila got him on their podcast.
they declined to get interviewed
aestheticlovr exactly. H3H3 got an interview but Papa didn’t want to talk to CNBC.

Ik from New York and I will shamelessly admit it’s my favorite fast food pizza chain
Nice timing after H3 released their podcast....
Since Papa John has left the whole thing has tanked for me and prices have only gone up. I stopped buying them now.
Papa was framed and they haven’t even released the recording where he said that who’s to say it wasn’t a setup
Chance Steinberg maybe but I still say I trust pApa
Quick Google search and you can find it. You can find it here to.
I worked full and part time for Papa John's for about 12 years. I met him on 3 occasions all of which he was already or proceeded to get embarrassingly drunk, treated employees like dirt and was inappropriate with female employees. Nuff said.
you met who?
@@jonwinder6622 Papa John himself!🤣
I cannot stand any of these pizza chains. If you like pizza, find a quality independent pizzeria
Well said.
Well that’s why they have the biggest share. My local pizzeria is an authentic Italian and man do they pizza be smackin!!
You couldn’t pay me enough to eat at Papa John’s.
Marisa Packer I liked Papa John
Melissa, I challenge you to eat 50 pizzas in 30 days
There’s a Papa John that opened near me during the summer of 2019
I've just realized I've never seen a Papa John's store nearby me before
Papa Johns isn’t the same without the looming possibility of the N word

😂
papa was framed
so what that he used the N word I feel like that people of this age have become to sensitive and just follow the word of what popular people have to say and never think for themselves
Napkins
Domino's "tracker," is fake.
maybe its the restaurant u order from lol
I get mine pretty standard 30-40 minutes.
Ehh it depends if it’s busy or not lol
You might live in a big city where workers don’t care about the tracker, I always get my pizza in 20-30 minutes
papa johns was in my city 18 years ago for like 3 weeks lmao
3:56 I like the employees shirt in my pizza too!
The pizza isn’t that good and it’s too expensive
JustGame you have to use coupon codes. Almost everyday I get a 50% off email.

@Sara Ford For sure 🥴🤢🤮🤮
Yep! Papa John’s pizza is garbage so I don’t get the better quality, better pizza.
It's so bad
must be getting them from bad restaurants.. The one in my hometown is always good. Decided to Try a Papa John's out of town and it tasted terrible.
CZcams after 5 years : Raise your head my child, it's your time.
When Papa John's should be rebranded due to 2 reasons. The ex-CEO is giving the brand linggering negative image and it's because it doesn't make sense that someone who founded a companu was kicked out of his own company. Although here in Southeast Asia Papa J stores are still going strong like maybe stronger than Dominos but just behind Pizza Hut if I may say.
justice for papa (schnatter) he was framed by his own company. checkout the h3h3 podcast interview
Same thing with Mens Wearhouse huh? I refuse to buy anything their after what they did to Zimmer.
Yeah I’m good thanks
@Fail Zero don't believe anything anyone says
Will only eat Papa John's pizza when it's free
That was my attitude after 2017. They admittedly were my favorite pizza, though I couldn't afford them much. After everything hit the fan with the CEO, I definitely wasn't eager to purchase them. But even if the former CEO isn't part of the corporate side of the company, I believe he still owns shares so he's still getting money off of the company. And so long as that's happening, I'm not buying.

My favorite memory of Papa John is that it was somebody’s last night that I went to school with. She ran for school president and handed out Papa John napkins! 😂
Love Papa John's, they are my favorite. The one in my town closed though, sadly.
They closed for a reason, the one in my town did also. Their pizza is trash & not enough people were ordering from them.
I have never understood why people would get their pizza from these large national chains when every community I have ever visited has locally owned stores.

I wish I could go back in time and eat some 1990's pizza hut pizza. it was perfection
It was good back then. I worked for a local pizza place back in the 90's and the Hut across the street gave us a run for our money. Now they are pretty bad and really overpriced.
I've stoped buying papa John's pizza here in Tennessee cause it takes a hour to hour and a half to get one. Pizza Hut now for me.
We always called it *Papa's John* AKA toilet pizza.
The current CEO has never been in the pizza category, and the current product reflects that.

DeShawn Terrance look up the real story. He was set up
DeShawn Terrance it’s not about that. He wants the franchisees to succeed and the customer to receive a quality product.
Papa cares about people and pizza
They should disclose when they make paid advertisement instead of news...
Abraham Saenz yes, they should be Required by Law” to do so.
Its very common for time to pass by old school entrepreneurs/managers and they end up taking their huge company that they built into the ground by staying too long.
I stopped buying from them because the closest location redrew their delivery radias, stopped delivering to my area, and never opened one within radias, so now I get Dominos 😥
“Stay tuned, the day of reckoning will come”
I see Judas is going on the defensive after the H3H3 interview
Last year I had the worst food poisoning from eating Papa Johns. I was hospitalized had to get a ambulance called to my house. I never ordered from them again. NEVER again!!!!
I love papa johns pizza but wont order for delivery. They never ever bring everything i order and its frustrating. I just pick it up so i can check it before I leave
