Papa Johns Pizza Review

Papa Johns Pizza

I’m traveling this week so my eating options is a bit on the limited side. I had read that Papa Johns had vegan pizza dough and sauce. That was to be my backup plan if all else fails. After five days on the road, I placed an online order for pizza delivery. Now I haven’t had pizza delivery in years but desperate times call for desperate measures.

The online ordering was super easy and straight-forward. There’s options to change the toppings and even a “no cheese” button. I went with a large veggie thin crust pizza with no cheese.

Sadly, their thin crust is not vegan, its got some milk product something or other in it. I got all mixed up after reading about which pizza chain has what vegan crusts. I thought it was but it’s the original crust that’s vegan. Lesson learned. I should have double-checked before placing the order. Duh.

Otherwise the pizza was great, the veggies were good, the delivery was on time, and the delivery person pleasant. It came with a couple packets of special seasonings which I didn’t use, and a pepperoncini pepper in the corner of the box. Apparently, pepperoncinis are a traditional Italian garnish. I even got an online discount. Not bad for a chain restaurant in a small town.

    Cool…where did you find the list of pizza chains with vegan crusts?
    Somtimes, I need a brake from cooking every day.
    Thanks so much for posting this.

    Thanks for the review. I haven’t eaten pizza out since going vegan, and it’s nice to know about options.

    VeganTickles – I read it on one of the vegan boards. Peta also has a list of places to eat that are vegan here.

    Lisa – I’m so glad to have more options nowadays. I had no idea that pizza chain pizza was even vegan.

    foodtrance – I’m always trying to find vegan places, but sometimes in small towns there just aren’t any. I’ve think it’s gotten better and most places are trying add more vegan/vegetarian dishes.

    The “special garlic sauce” is vegan, too! Gross, but tasty.
