Been to Pappa’s seafood once. Pappa’s BBQ is just bought out BBQ chain slapped with the Pappa’s name. Pappadeux charges a lot more. Plus there aren’t any nearby where I live.

Red Lobster is known for the cheapest seafood.

McDonalds is much tastier than Red Lobster any day. McDonald’s food isn’t frozen from the boat weeks out at sea. Even their Filet-O-Fish tastes better.
WTF are you talking about? Everything at maccas is shipped frozen, except for salad. Freezing is an excellent way to preserve flavor, there's nothing wrong with it.
Honestly, saying McDonald's is tastier than red lobster, is like saying cat shit is tastier than dogshit.
Seafood should be frozen immediately, unless you are going to eat it within the hour. Lots of foods are like that, corn, and peas come to mind. Beef,pork and duck, generally benefit from some type of aging. Chicken does not, unless Salmonella is your thing.

Back on topic, papa Johns sucks, though it's better than the other right wing pizza, dominos

Missus approves of Domino’s Thin Crust Pizza. She doesn’t like American pizza in general. Either picks toppings, or takes a pity bite. With Dominos, she ate half the pizza.

Plus Domino’s deep dish is pretty good (for me).

Katy Perry pizza still going? It had been mentioned earlier in the thread, the guy there has been going for nine years, still going and serving good pizza. Thing is for two of you and a drink or two from the mini mart, $10-15 should see two people feed and watered.
Now the new Papa john's will cost how much for a good feed? I am thinking 3 to 4 times the amount. It would surprise me if I was new to this country seeing the poor Khmer whom would frequently adorn this type of chain restaurant. Is it possible that to them the food is so good, or is it just the culture and the big picture "look at me".

7 pages, 66 replies and nearly 3000 views - all about just another mass produced, cooking by numbers, pizza chain.

How is this possible?

Been a while since I had Katy Peri pizza, but it was more like $4 per pizza there and they sold their own drinks

Papa John's will be in Domino's price range, but better

That's not the price I would want or be willing to pay for pizza, no matter how good it was.
