    My fiance is a sucker for their garlic dipping sauce so I took a ride over from Wollaston to fill her craving. Although the drive could take forever on a weeknight with the construction on the Neponset bridge, tonight was a safe night to get my pizza home while fresh. The location looks pretty new and is very small (no tables and barely a waiting area), but it was clean and they were nice inside.

    We had the spicy buffalo wings and a large pie with chicken (all for $18 bucks!). The wings were decent, not super crispy, but I can't expect a whole lot when they don't even have a deep fryer. The pizza is always consistent and the garlic dipping sauce (although 100% artificial) is pretty tasty!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought delivery entails delivery to your door? The lazy delivery driver refused to bring the pizza up to my apartment and insisted I come down (I live in an apartment building).  I would have gladly come down to get it if I hadn't just got out of the shower. He argued that he couldn't leave the car unattended in the circle outside the apartment, which is complete BS. Anyways, I told him I just out of the shower and if he couldn't bring it up, he should bring the pizza back to the store. He brought the pizza back to the store.

    That's OK because I called Domino's and the pizza arrived in 1/2 the time and the delivery driver actually delivered (which is what I thought a delivery driver was supposed to do?) the pizza to my apartment without asking or arguing.

    Thank you Dominos, I will never be ordering from this Papa John's store again.

    Was great for what it is.  While I was laid up with a bum ankle I decided making my own pizza was out of the question.  Then I saw a Papa John's commercial and voila! I was online ordering.  The site told me 30-45 minutes so imagine my surprise when my buzzer was ringing 20 minutes later with piping hot pizza and chicken fingers.  I was one happy fat kid.

    Possibly the best Papa John's location I've ever had dealings with.  They always seem to be pretty prompt and (unlike all others I've ordered from) they have yet to bungle an order.

    The pizza is exactly what you'd expect from a big chain; it's not fantastic but it's pretty solid.

    Considering that I have yet to actually find a pizza place that isn't Greek in my general vicinity, this will do nicely.

    Yep, these guys at this location deserve the 4 stars. The food always comes piping hot, the person on the phone is always professional, and goodness, those garlic parmesan breadsticks and garlic dipping sauce are heavenly! A BIG BONUS: they opened at 3pm on the day of the blizzard, AND DELIVERED! Just one problem, they deliver to my address, but if I try to order online, it says they don't. Does that mean the computer doesn't "want" to?????

    I know, 5 stars for a pizza chain, come on. And I was skeptical too when I first witnessed my girlfriends excitement about PJ's moving into my hood. That is, until I tried the bread sticks. Bread sticks, you say, who cares about bread sticks? Well let me tell you, these are no ordinary bread sticks. I really can't say anymore, just get them (both plain and Parmesan varieties) and make sure to get both garlic and marinara sauces. Then you'll understand.

    I ordered Papa Johns the day I moved to this part of Dot, and I've never stopped.  They've made a few bonehead mistakes, but they've always made up for it (probably because I'm an excellent customer, keep them in business).  Never done anything to upset me as much as the Somerville Papa Johns.  Ain't nothing wrong wit the 'za.  And I'm loving the new chocolate pastry desserts.

    Work in Allston and live in Quincy.  The pizza is fresh and good for a pizza chain.  Customer service is good.  No complaints here!
