So, Papa Johns blames the Affordable Care Act?..for raising prices? Not smart, very very stupid.

...Never Been There..Never Will...
Even though I might have gone there some day. I know I never will. These fools just lost 30-35 percent of their potential business for
good. For Ever.
... Too Stupid to Know Better. The idiot owner just had to get into politics.
Not Smart... actually in a business with lots and lots of competition....not smart at all....

1. Today at work we had a little celebration...

this is our Summer Interns last week here.

Ordered 8 large pizzas...but not from Papa John's (which is where we have in the past.)
There is a new local shop that got our business.

3. Well Done!

I'm a pizza aficionado, and I almost NEVER find a local pie that isn't better than the corporate franchises.

2. Really Dumb....

I mean, Chick-Fil-A has only KFC as major competition. It's not like every neighborhood in America has chicken sandwich shops on every corner.

But pizza? Was the market not competitive enough for you? Did you really feel the need to alienate a significant portion of your clientele? And trust me on this, Pizza Boy, the fundamentalists are NOT going to flock to your stores over health care as they did over gay marriage.

If you're a Democrat, you should celebrate tonight by buying a pie from a local shop. Sure, they may be Republicans, too, but at least they're not THIS guy.

4. They lost us when Papa John had a BIG fund raiser for Romney a couple months ago (video)

5. sadly these jerks are rolling in it and are in a position to take a hit if they think it's worth it

some people still won't eat domino's pizza because of the former owner's anti-abortion funding (operation rescue).
the entire business is surely worth less today than had that controversy never happened.

and yet, they're still quite profitable. just not AS profitable as they otherwise might have been.


incidentally, guess who he sold domino's pizza to?

that's right, none other than bain capital.

6. I will now go out for a pizza:

A DiGiorno's pizza from the supermarket, that is.

Believe it or not, some of the best pizza I've found around here is in the Chase Tower downtown, in the second floor cafeteria. Big brick oven, the whole works. Their spinach pizza is wonderful.

8. I need a pizza..Many small business here ..

Too many pizza places to mention.
I suspect that the Papa Johns in our area in Chicago suburbs that always support dems.
...will go bust...too bad..

[CatWoman]

11. I heard a real Chicago pizza was to die for

[HockeyMom]

7. Grocery prices going up because of the draught

in many areas. This is OBAMA'S fault too? That a restaurant chain has to increase prices for THIS, not the ACA, surprises who?

[Bluenorthwest]

9. They are hoping to become 'symbolic' and make piles of money from right wing people like

Chick Fil A does. Gunning for press because their pizza is so stinking they can't use it as a selling point.

10. 10- 15 cents per pizza would give his employees health insurance....Worth It!

I would gladly pay 10-54 cents extra everywhere I go in exchange for EVERYONE getting health insurance/healthcare.

If kicking in a dime and a nickel would cover the costs for everyone, I say we as a nation suck it up, dig into our sofa cushions and solve this problem once and for all
