Amazing, picked up 'my supposed' pizza , only to get to the house and open it, did I realize it wasn't what I had ordered. Oh, did I get angry as hell! when you have waited for 25 minutes to pick up, only to be handed a wrong order. But then mistakes happen and man is to error. I called the manager and explained my situation, he listened and apologized and promised my pizza will be delivered, my pizza was delivered in no time with no delivery costs, I enjoyed my pizza, was satisfied and remained loyal customer as before, of course I'll keep getting my pizzas from Papa John's
