    I live in poland and Papa Johns has recently opened a few restaurants here but nobody wants to eat this hyperprocessed trash when the local joints (some run by Italians) are so much better for the same price.

    Even local corporate pizza franchises are way ahead of any american ones like Papa Johns, Domino’s or Pizza Hut in quality.

    I guess americans just can’t make good pizza.

      I’ve had lots of good pizza in the US, almost exclusively from independent places that serve NY Slice/Detroit/Neapolitan, and only one from a chain that’s even close to decent: Blaze Pizza, which goes for a neapolitan-style in a fast casual setting. That’s about it.

      No, giant American corporations cant make good pizza, I can assure you we’ve got plenty of local joints all over that can rival yours

      The versions of pizza known to everyone outside of Italy were invented in America. Papa Johns is just crap.

        That’s what I’m saying. Americans/american corporations bastardised italian pizza so much it’s become pizza only technically, by definition.

        It technically has the same ingredients as pizza but none of them are fresh so the taste is just wrong.
