Papa Johns Pizza

Better Ingedients…Better Pizza…

Since our founder John Schnatter made the very first Papa John’s pizza, we have always retained his complete dedication to the belief that better ingredients make a better pizza. When it comes to supporting our franchise business partners, we hold the very same belief.

First and foremost of those is the Papa John’s product offering itself. Something which has undeniably and unequivocally been proved a firm favourite amongst pizza eaters.

Then there is our comprehensive support structure and investment in people, which sees franchise partners offered full consultancy throughout the process of opening a business. – right through from site selection and the construction of the store, to advice on local store marketing, recruitment and everyday business issues.

Quite simply, Papa John’s has a structure in place to ensure that the success that has seen over 3,000 stores opened worldwide will be replicated throughout the UK.

As a high school senior working at a local pizza store in Indiana, Papa John’s founder John Schnatter often challenged other staff members to see who could make the best pizza.

This fascination with delivering the best possible product first occupied his thoughts whilst he worked cleaning plates in the business, a job which he believes taught him far more than washing up skills.

He said: “I used to take mental note of the pizzas that went out, and then see what came back into the kitchen on people’s plates – and it soon became obvious that there were certain things that the majority of pizza lovers liked and disliked.
