I have worked for PaPa John's as a delivery driver since the Covid here in the States . Every pizza comes with one pepperoncini , and a side order is four peppers wrapped in aluminum foil . Hand tossed pizzas come with one garlic sauce cup . Thin crust pizzas have one pepperoncini but no garlic sauce cup , instead they come with one sachet ( there's that word again ) of seasoning , and are only made in 14 inch large because they're pre made . The parmesan oil is squirted onto the garlic knots and bread sticks after they come out of the oven . A side of it can be put into a lidded cup upon request . I know that Joel is a fan of Buffalo sauce and ranch dressing , so pre packaged cups of both can be ordered on the side for about 25 cents each . Other sides that can be ordered is the spicy garlic sauce cup , sachets of grated parmesan cheese , and sachets of crushed red pepper flakes . You can also request paper plates , paper napkins, and paper cups with your order . I often offer them to my customers staying in hotels or motels even if they didn't ask for them . I hope you tipped your delivery driver well . We work for minimum wage and tips with a gasoline mileage allowance . Sometimes the gasoline we burn to make a delivery is a break even deal for us .
It's all OK, one thing that you didn't see coming was people who knew you as channel "Joel & Lia" couldn't find your new videos, nor were people able to find you when told you gotta watch this channel "Joel and Lia" their from England they each have different boyfriends
I all ready pay 4.99/month toward the Kiel and Lia channel. Is that money now going to those two Brit’s? Please clarify
Domino's is garbage
Out of all the fast food pizza chains I prefer Pizza Hut pan pizzas. Papa John's sauce is too sweet for me. If there were Round Table Pizza near me, I would go for them tho.
Actually, Lia, it was Pizza Hut that introduced that stuffed crust pizza
When it was released they contracted Rush Limbaugh for the TV ads.
Yes
I think it was Woodstock’s. When I first entered UCSB in 1987, the local pizza joint already rolled their crusts over sauce and toppings. As far as I know now, Woodstock’s is still a college town parlor. But I must say that it’s possible others took the idea from them. 🤷♀️ We just loved Woodstock’s 😀
Pizza Hut introduced the stuffed crust in the late 90s. I was a server at one during that era. It was mozzarella sticks all around the rim of the dough and just folded over to cover with brushed clarified butter all around the edges. 🔥🔥🔥
@@Dollywood623 Like I said, Pizza Hut was late to the game. Little shops like Woodstock’s had already been doing this. 🤩
I think we are spoiled here in the US by having so many great choices for pizza. To each their own. We like what we like!
That is truthful fact! Just like , I love homemade healthy pizzas the best on Flatbread , Naan Bread or pita bread! I do love and prefer CiCi Pizza or Little Ceasars Pizza as restaurant bought while I love pasta casserole dish from Pizza Hut.👌
Joel drinks fizzy soda with food and wonders why he's burping? Truly an innocent abroad! And DIET SODA? That'll ruin the taste of anything! Tsk,tsk.
@@juliuschas I’m not a soda drinker but hey if Joel likes it, Let him be. We all have different tastes
@@pamjarvis2318 ,
I used to love CiCi’s Pizza too, but sadly all of their locations near me closed several years ago. I didn’t know they were still in business. Lately, I have been going to Mod Pizza and they are really good.
Yeah I mean you can find way better pizza just about anywhere in the U.S. But the chains are like for you have the craving & everything else good is closed. haha
I like y’all’s reaction to Papa Johns and when it comes to the stuffed crust I believe Pizza Hut is the one that came out with it on February 26,1995.
Love the hut. Anyone remember their reading program affiliation back in the 90s? Loved it! FREE PIZZA.
@@vw8856 I remember that cause I would read as many books as I could to get it. And I always ended up getting to so many.
@@vw8856 The Book It program. You had to read a certain number of books and you would get a free personal pan pizza. My mother wouldn't let me do it, because I read so many books as a child she would constantly have to be at pizza hut lol.
Pizza hut stuff crust is too soggy & the cheese tastes fake. My favorite of the trash pizza chains is Pizza hut tho, pan pizzas. Round Table is better but we don't have them where I live anymore.
The peppers are peppercini, Italian-style pickled peppers. Joel is correct as 4+ will burn, burn, burn on the exit.
I work for PaPa John's as a delivery driver . The pepperoncinis are sourced from Turkey . I sip the brine when I have heartburn or indegestion . I have a jar of the peppers that the management tosses out .
I had to learn that the hard way, let’s just say it burned and I was traumatized.
To be fair, Papa John's isn't highly regarded in the US either. The more go-to chain pizza spots seem to be Domino's and Pizza Hut. MAYBE Round Table.
I agree! Papa John’s is the worst.
I mean they all suck.
Y'all ain't heard of Hungry Howie's???!!!
Donatos is the go-to pizza chain in the Northeast. I have not heard of round table before.
@@briansmith48 - Donatos is very good. Only bad thing is the prices are so high.
Papa John’s is my favorite chain pizza, glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️❤️❤️
The posh pronunciation of Papa "Jean" has me dying...like when people pronounce Target "Tar-jay" ;)
Papa John's isn't really praised in the US either. Most of the time the edge crust is way to big, leaving little room for cheese, sauce, and toppings.
There are authentic Italian restaurants in most metropolitan areas with much better pizza than the chain restaurants.
Papa John's was favorited by the homeowner who's wife I was caregiver to, yes we got it on sale day, but you'd wonder what John they scooped the toppings out of, it wasn't something to write home about. I'm sure surprised you made a video of it. It was so assembly line, and not in a good way.
I heard it went to crap after John had to resign but I genuinely don’t know anyone that gets these main stream pizzas anymore I usually only get them when it’s late and I’m drunk😂
The west coast has very few authentic Italian restaurants. Most of our best pizza comes from wood-fired pizzerias. Which at best are Italian influenced.
Additionally, Papa John's uses potassium bromate in their flour/crust, which is banned in Europe. Papa John's pizza gives me migraines due to it.
I don't know anyone in the US that praise papa John. I think that is not great tasting pizza at all.
That that garlic butter sauce and pop it in the microwave (lid removed - its foil) for 9 seconds. Not 1 second more or less. It it AMAZING heated and goes a lot further since it thins out and you don't get so much clinging to the bread per dip.
And stuffed crust was started by Pizza Hut originally.
I never bother with large corporate pizza places. In almost any city in the U.S. you can find a small local pizza place that does it 10 times better.
Pizza hut actually did the stuffed crust first. it was an experiment by someone in the kitchen adding a few cheese sticks in the crust.
Why on earth would you do this to yourselves! Do yourselves a favor and just try every small, only-one-exists local joint that’s recommended by the locals. Pretty sure most or all of us will still watch because we like you. 😹😽
Sometimes eating at the local places isn't a goof idea when a foreign vistor .
Good 👍 not goof
Well Papa John isn't well live here in the US either. But I truly think if you want a good pizza go to a Mom and Pop place and you get the best pizza or food!
Papa John's upgrade (that's free to do): Ask for well done, add parmesan garlic cheese on crust. (If you order online it's the first page after you select the pizza and they give you the options.).
The dipping sauce - use it. Or you can switch it to ranch or cheese. If you do it online, you probably can add it into the order notes or order extra sauces. Bon appetit!
I'm surprised you find Itilian peppers spicy Joel to me just a nice vinegar pickled blast and meh heat. Good to see your now embracing the experience vs we don't do it that way in England. Now I do see comparing how comparing American chain restruants are translated in different countries, menu's and ingredients at times can be so different, at time's I even admit getting pissed we can't get some of the items I've seen in the US.
Lol, just love that you call it Papa Jean like in French 🤣
Domino’s is just known as a cheap pizza with cheap ingredients. I don’t eat pizza often - I prefer specialty pizzerias but Dominos and Papa John’s are fine. Also, there’s no such thing as too much dip in America 😂
Actually, Little Caesars is the cheapest pizza in the US. 😁
@@briansmith48 Agreed. But it also tastes like cheap pizza. I can’t eat theirs except their deep dish once in a blue moon.
I'd add Hungry Howie's to the cheapest /worst chain pizza.
The dipping sauce separates, you need to shake it up. That's why they looked different.
I agree with all these people saying Papa Johns is not the best, there are lots of better local and regional options depending on where you live, but Papa Johns is probably the best national chain brand pizza.
I love their calzones.
I found a hack that makes it taste better. Here goes: Ask for the pizza well done and opt for parmesan garlic crust. These options are both free. If you do it online, it's in the first section. Be sure to use their garlic sauce. If you don't like it, they offer others such as cheese sauce and ranch sauce.
I’m sorry but I think it’s the worst chain pizza. It’s still worse than Dominoes and Pizza Hut.
@@GP80888 I agree. The sauce is too sweet. Pizza hut for me.
@@FEARNoMore Exactly! If I want a dessert pizza I’d order one. lol Also, if you have to add sauce’s and peppers to make your pizza taste better then it’s probably not good pizza
Papa John's is one of my favorite pizzas 🍕 Glad you enjoyed 😊
The garlic butter if warm will look like clarified butter if not it will look more solid opaque yellow. It’s supposed to be stored in the fridge it’s good for 10 hours outside but if it’s at the end of the 10 hours ambient room temperature can make it melted
I am a former delivery driver but we cut and boxed the pizzas. I do know how to make pizzas as well so I can answer some questions that you posed. 1st an order of peppers comes with 5 peppers, plus each pizza does come with 1 pepper. 2nd the dipping sauce also comes with each pizza and the sauce on the knots are different and each person puts the sauce on the knots differently. 3rd the pizzas crust is all fresh dough that last like a week max in the freezer before going bad, but the thin crust is premade and only large unless you get a gluten free which is only the small.
It did make me want to chuckle a little the way you guys kept praising the pizza as not being greasy all the while pouring on and dipping in the garlic oil…😂
I haven't had that in a while, but I'm assuming they're trying to uphold their slogan of delivering the perfect pizza, in hopes that when you think of Papa John's™, you won"t think of Papa John.
I believe I can remember in the 80's that it was a pizza hut commercial introducing Stuffed crust Pizza...Fun fact, the first time I ever saw a Philly cheesesteak Pizza was at domino's...and is by far my most favorite of Pizza's...
Congratulations on your first time trying Papa John's!
I know it sounds depraved, but the cheeseburger pizza from Papa John's is amazing. They only do it maybe once a year, but for some reason, I think it's. amazing. A ketchup/mustard sauce and pickles somehow works.
I wish we could have chose your order for you. I'm happy to hear your opinions.
Actually, there are enough locally owned pizza shops around, that I avoid chain pizzas. Mom and pop pizza shops are so much better (as a general rule) especially in Philadelphia!
I do the “Be carefull” to my kids all the time 😂
Thin crusts are premade crusts that are refrigerated, and only come in 14” (large). The others are all hand tossed and come in several sizes. Small (10”), medium (12”), large (14”), and XL (16”)
I am American, an I have never tried Papa Johns. Crazy! Always say I’m gonna try them but have a personal favorite in my town called New York pizza. Glad you guys are saying they are good, so I will have to give them a try! Thank you!
Ever tried “ Steubenville Style “ or “ Ohio River Vally “ pizza? It’s a whole other way of consuming! The pizza crust and sauce is baked then the toppings are placed on top so they cook from the residual heat. Results in topping being fresher and crunchy. My wife calls it “ Half Baked Pizza “!
As someone who has tried all sorts of pizzas (from Italian, Chicago, NYC to homemade), I actually like Papa John's pizza if I wanted pizza chain pizza. Then again I also don't mind Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. I think I would have to rank Dominoes at the bottom of the list of American pizza chain.
*Domino's
To me, Little Caesars crust tastes like it's made with Bisquick.
Another fun one to watch! Love Papa John’s!
One garlic comes with each original crust pizza. Your knots came with a choice of one complimentary dipping cup
The best pizza places are the places that are not chains. Most chains cut corners on quality and you can taste it.
Lia, since you like a barbecue based pizza, you should try adding pineapple to it or substitute the bacon for the pineapple ! It's really good on barbecue, chicken pizza. If you two ever come to Cleveland Ohio, Angelo's in Lakewood OH has a fantastic deep dish / pan-style one to try. It's called the Acapulco BBQ Pizza.
The peppers that come with Papa John's pizza are one of my favorite things about it, so much so that I went out and bought a large jar of them to have with any pizza I get.
he said Tack-ohs lol like rhyming with wack.
Yes PJs is just something you get for the kids or for football games when lazy
American here - I love Domino's and Domino's is always busy.
I admire you adventurousness and courage to explore, you would find a welcome mat in my humble home
At least they didn't come on to nit-pick Little Cesars, their crazy bread makes for a messy behind the wheel snack, but it's so good.. just be careful some cashiers ring you up the with sauce price even though you specifically said without. About a dozen times I've had to get this fixed. I used to work at one some 35 years ago and we sold pizza in long bags of two pizzas then.
*Little Caesars
@@jamesanderson6373 I just used auto fill, blame it
I’m going to start saying Papa John’s like you do. It makes it sound fancy. 😄
Not Poppa John’s for me, but we use to order them for the day care I worked at. Domino’s was a favorite of my ex-husband. We now use Poppa Murphy’s which is a take and bake so it’s fresher. And what’s great is on Tuesday’s you get a large for $10, any of their pizzas.
If you two ever go to New York City you should try a local and non chain pizza restaurant like Lombardi's.Trust me it's 10 times better and you'll be supporting small and local businesses.
Pizza Hut came Up With the Stuffed Crust. Out of All The Major Pizza Chains Pizza Hut Was King because they were everywhere in All 50 States & it was Dine in & Delivery.
Papa Johns really varies in quality. I used to live near a really good one and i'd order from them all the time. I moved a little while ago and the Papa's near me is absolutely awful and made me sick several times.
Have you thought about getting a prepaid phone to use while you’re here? That way you can have a U.S. number to use for certain services.
Grits = Crushed Corn (Grits vs Cream Corn is an unresolved conflict left from Civil War.)
Okree aka Okra = technically a fruit is a flower seed pod.
FL BBQ = Sonny's (Dale's in South FL)
Pizzas = Local Mom n Pops' are usually better than the chains.
Papa John's pizza = I think the usual custom is to bite the pepper sprinkle the brine over the pie and save the garlic butter to dip the dry crust when finishing the slice. It is America though so you're free to eat it how you want.
Papa John’s has always been my favorite delivery pizza from the standard chains. In college we would ask everyone on our hall if they wanted to go in on a delivery because I was obsessed with their breadsticks. That garlic butter is divine! However, I do have to give props to Domino’s who offered gluten free pizza before Papa John’s did and it was pretty good.
You're suppose to shake the garlic butter
Papa John's is just better than Pizza Hut and Domino's
Local pizza place owned by Italians, with Italians chefs. They put Dominoes to shame.
*Domino's
The garlic Parmesan sauce ( a lot goes a long way, it melts.) stuffed crust we have regular and pepperoni stuffed crust at the moment one. Americas garlic Parmesan sauce probably has ingredients that probably illegal in the UK. Thin is premade and only comes in 14”
“watching NASCAR or something” 😂😂😂
Pizza Hut either invented the stuffed crust or was the first national chain to offer it.
Fun fact: you mentioned watching the Super Bowl while eating a Papa John's pizza. Until a few years ago Papa John's was the official pizza of the Super Bowl - but after the founder left the country due to scandal, they were replaced at the Super Bowl with Pizza Hut :)
You can buy a cheap phone at Family Dollar for about $20.00, load it with as many minutes as you want, and just use it when you travel here.
No one I know would say OMG, I must have Domino's or Papa Johns or any of the others. I can not think of one pizza chain in the US that is prized over that "local" pizza joint. Chain pizza is good if you're lazy and just want it delivered to you, otherwise I make the drive to pick up a good pizza. In my area of San Diego both Luigi's and "The Bronx" are the go to for good pizza.
Our Papa John’s closed down about 5 years ago, but I stopped buying from them years ago when their owner refused to pay for health care for his employees.
😭😭
I remember when they made that change. Sadly, a lot of businesses intentionally hire part time employees so they don't have to pay insurance. Recently our local hospital is letting go many IT employees. I have a suspicion they're hiring people from other countries to cut costs. It's really sad in US sometimes.
A quick suggestion, Go to Target, or Walmart and get a pay as you go phone. Joel registers it to his families house in FL. This way you can do Uber, Lyft and take-out with that phone.
I love Papa John's so much more than Domino's.
Here in Milwaukee when you call Dominoes for delivery they put you on hold for 20 minutes, at least with Papa John's they take your order right away
Carolina has two bbq styles the vinegar and the mustard sauce. Classic Carolina bbq is whole hog with vinegar and Lexington Carolina style is all shoulder with mustard sauce. Takes forever to do but worth it. It’s all about pork in the Carolinas while Texas is all beef. Tennessee is about ribs, California is all about the actual grill and wood as their grill is kinda special as it can go up and down with a crank and it’s very minimal just salt and pepper with little else. Kansas City is more sauce based bbq. I live in Florida where every style is here but does have the beach bbq where burgers and dogs are over charcoal on the beach as it’s fast and feeds a lot of people. The wood in bbq restaurants are oak, hickory, or cherry. Oak is the most common usually post oak where these tree are destined to become sign posts as they are hard yet supple but make good wood for flames. The Chinese use fruit based trees for wood as they are common and it’s always a mix of different types which are burned for duck.
I live in the Chicago metro area. So I'm spoiled for pizza choice. Any chain places like Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's, Little Ceasars etc... just doesn't compare to the top notch places we have around here. People who usually like chain Pizza places, have never had a real pizza. They only know what cardboard tastes like. 🙂
Have you ever been to the Chicago Pizza Oven and Grinder Company at 2121 N Clark Street in Chicago?
They make Pizza Pot Pies. Just wonderful.
@@loveisall5520 First I'm not downtown. And second there are a lot of US cities that are infact more dangerous then Chicago like St. Louis, Detroit, Memphis, Baltimore etc... I think you forgot how massive the Chicago metro area is.
@@loveisall5520 The only shooting I experienced as a vistor to the USA was while I was in Texas
In a hotel quivering with fear in bed while the local nutter tried to kidknapp his soon to be ex wife who was running away and was holed up in the next room to myself and my brother. Then there was an incident at one of the local forts a few days latter involving a gun .
Good Times ( not )
Chicago was nothing compared to Texas .
@@loveisall5520 troll 😂
You got that right. I rather eat a piece of cardboard then eat a piece of Little Caesar’s or Domino’s pizza. I think cardboard would way more palatable. Exaggerating… But not much.
I love Papa John's. I think the sauce is a must!
I love Papa John's pizza!! Domino's and Pizza Hut is so greasy it makes me feel uncomfortable after eating. I will never forget when I ordered Domino's after they changed/improved the sauce and put the pizza in the front seat and when I picked it up I noticed a shiny grease spot on my leather seat! It had leaked! Never again! ... Please try Jet's Detroit style pizza! It is also my favorite pizza! You won't be sorry! Thank you for the video!
Jet's makes me feel like a mummy, so much salt I'm getting preserved.
@@allthatlightning sorry to hear that. Have you ever had their regular style pizza crust? It's also yummy. Mario's pizza is salty pizza. Lots of water was needed to get that out of my system. Thanks
Time to give them another chance brother 🙏
Best Papa John's 😊👍
You can get a Google phone number, it is free and it pairs with your own cell phone. You just sign up, pick a number, and create an app on your personal cell phone, then when you want to use that number, you call from the app. Ditto for calls coming in, they will ring on your regular phone number. I have one and it works perfectly. I don't know for sure whether it will work with a UK number, but I don't see why not.
5:37 It's the same with me. I've lost over 80 lbs. (and I still have more to lose), and I've noticed that I can't eat like I did when I was heavier. If I try, I start to get that really unpleasant "stuffed" feeling.
The garlic butter is awesome! I live in the town that's the HQ of Papa John's and one place I worked we did a lot of work for them. They told us about the different items they have in the UK they don't have here. I would have loved to have tried the Banana toffee dessert. What do you call it, Banoffee pie or something like that? All we get are those nasty cookies and the brownies. Too bad you didn't know you already get dips and pepperoncinis with each order. It would have saved you some waste and a little bit of money. I'm glad you enjoyed it though.
Papa John’s is awesome, my absolute favorite pizza
Most people who live in a metropolitan area have a local pizza style or pizza place they prefer to the national chain restaurants, like Papa John's, Pizza Hut or Domino's. Papa John's seems to be popular in Florida. The owner of Papa John's did have a controversy a few years ago that put some people off of the place.
To be fair, the worst pizza shop in the US is probably better than the best in the UK. Been to the UK many times and they have lots of good food, but Pizza wasnt one of them
Watching this as I eat chips and
dip. 🤔😆😂
Maybe because I’m Italian American and live in New Jersey, a lot of these pizza chains don’t fo it for me. The corner pizza parlor is much better. At Papa John’s I find the sauce too sweet, like tons of sugar is added to it. Nope, not for me.
Agree Ytown and Cleveland Native huge Italian populations and we have great pizza They always do the chains. I guess my point to them in the US we have so many choices .everyone does find the place they like...Don't base one restrsunt or dish as I hate it or American food sucks If they lived here they would find their favorite place according to their taste. Also. I got to certain restraints and get what they are known for making I cringe when people order pasta at the local wing bar or choose frozen fish at the burger place .
It's funny how they are saying "JOHN" here - they are including the "H" when they are saying it. We don't say the "H" so say it like it wss spelled "Jon" - yep we include letters in words or names that we don't use like in knife 😀😁😃😁
Papa John’s not loved here either.. I know pizza is Italian but America we have so many choices for pizza. It’s actually insane when you think about it
Oh I love Papa John's!
Yes, the garlic sauce is yummy but homemade garlic butter is vastly superior (yes, butter is okay and healthy in limited amounts, butyric acid being a valuable chemical). Papa's fake butter is made with: Soybean oil, water, salt, vegetable mono & diglycerides (maintains sauce consistency), garlic, natural flavors, soy lecithin (maintains sauce consistency), lactic acid (maintains freshness), sodium benzoate (maintains freshness), calcium disodium EDTA (maintains freshness), citric acid (maintains freshness), natural beta carotene (for color), vitamin A palmitate (enhances flavor). 'Nough to turn your stomach, really.
For some reason I got a very serious case of the giggles reading through all that insanity. Thanks for the laughs! 😂
So, garlic margarine. Figures
U gotta shake the garlic sauce before opening it up so it looks thick and yellow.
Loved this, team Domino’s. Next time try biting the tip off of the pepper and squeezing the juice onto your pizza. It’s life-changing. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida
Lia got that bank. That is good. lol
Toppers and Pizzaman Dan's make great pizza in So Cal.
When you mentioned Okra in NC, it flooded my mind with memories of my grandparents taking me to the beach every year as a child and we always stopped at Sonny’s BBQ near statesville. That is where I first had fried okra and I remember loving it so much and looking forward to it every year!
In terms of our national pizza chains, my favorite is Papa John's solely due to their garlic sauce and spicy garlic sauce
You should have got some of the green special seasoning packs. they are salty but worth it!
Why do you constantly eat American fast and chain restaurant food? There are so many much better local eateries around.
Joel, when you were in Florida it appeared to be the same situation, Cheesecake Factory, Cracker Barrel, Denny's, etc. Find great local places! When I am in the UK, I never eat at chain restaurants.
Well, a US resident here, I've gotten where I stick to the chains, you know what to expect and call for a remake or refund if it's not resolved
They prob get paid to advertise the brand. It's all one big commercial.
Fast and chain food are a safe bet . You know you can find something you like and they tend to be safer in terms of food hygiene. Local places can be sketchy .
The North Carolina barbecue was so good because it was in a dive, silly. The best restaurants that serve the best food are always the dive restaurants don’t you know. Especially when you’re in the south. And of course Lia screwed up ordering there. Classic Lia! 😂
i always want more peppers wish they would give me 4 or 5.
IIRC, stuffed crust was pioneered by Pizza Hut in the late eighties or early nineties. Not sure of the exact date.
I think Papa John's originated in the Midwest, where thin crust is widely seen as cheap/chintzy and is not very popular.
never seen a small papa johns pizza before
Dip the pizza crust in the garlic butter.
Pizza Hut created the stuffed crust pizza like 30 years ago and everybody else is copying them. With all the vinegar for fish n chips, I'm not surprised Carolina BBQ was a hit.
You're supposed to squeeze the pepper over the pizza like a lemon in tea.
How are you guys fairing in hot 🥵 & humid weathers in America? Hope you enjoy your stay. 😍👋🏼
Papa John's is known among many longer-term Vegans as literally the first commercial pizza chain restaurant that accommodated Vegans with their Garlic Butter dipping sauce (which is actually Vegan). I and many other Vegans use to dip our cheese-less veggie pizza slices in that sauce and it was heavenly.
I grew up with some of the most authentic Italian pizza in Chicago--I'm not talking about crap like Giordano's of Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza. I'm talking about mom-and-pop pizza places that brought pizza recipes with them from Italy. Domino's, Pappa John's, Pizza Hut and Little Caesars are nothing but a glob of bread dough with some sauce and toppings. They pale in comparison to the real honest to goodness pizzas that I know and love. If you ever get to Chicago, go to a place called Nick and Vito's--you will swear you're in Naples.
You can get prepaid service length of use with prepaid US American phones in our country to use from stores. These phones are considered disposable phones and it might fit your needs for ordering food. They do come in different length of prepaid service levels in different price range. LOL , my favorite preferred healthier pizzas are homemade on Flatbread, Naan bread and Pita bread at home. Either cook by using grill , air fryer or oven. I have issues with restaurant pizza crusts not being fully baked through that leaves parts of pizza crust in raw dough stage on inside for which gives me upset stomach. Only pizza restaurants that don't have pizza crust issue for me are CiCi Pizza or Little Ceasars Pizza.
I love Lia, she is funny😂
