Papa John's will take your text order

papa john's pizza delicery
Almost a year ago, we made some confessions. Sometimes, we're just so lazy on a weekend night that we just want to order-in, and not just order-in, but go the way of The Nasty and order-in pizza from one of "those" chain places. Yes, we order pizza from Papa John's, and not only do we get pizza, but we get buffalo wings, breadsticks, and maybe because we haven't gone to the market in three weeks, we have to throw in a couple of 2 liters of soda. The worst of it? We're sooo lazy, we won't even get up from our desks to call the order in, we just do it online from our laptops.

For almost a month now, Papa John's has made it even easier to get your breadsticks all up in a water-and-garlic-powder "sauce" that you shaelessly take down like a shot of vodka by accepting orders by text message. All 2,600 Papa John's restaurants are in on the racket.

Yes, we know you can't believe the convenience either!

What is that I hear? The cheering of millions of lazy Americans as they furiosly text their hunger away? Or is that their inseams screaming in horror?

You hearies can order your pizza on your way home while stuck in traffic. Deaf do not have that option so I think this is GREAT of Papa John's!

There were maybe 4 shreds of mushrooms, the sauce was tasteless, the cheese was like old bubble gum and it was ice cold upon delivery that was 30 minutes late. Go ahead--make it easier to order it. Won't make any difference to me--I'll never buy from them again.

Did anyone hear about the fact that they are testing using your cellphone as a boarding ticket at the airport. They email your ticket to your cell phone and when you arrive they scan your cell phone at the gate and then you board.

I am guilty of the lazy way out. I get frustrated with companies who do not have online store, bill pay and online food order. It urks me when I can't do thing either online or on the cell phone. I ordered pizza online last night because I didn't feel like going out to brave the snow here in the midwest. I am glad I did because today we are kind of snowed in.

Mmm... nothing like day old pizza.

Never had a bad pizza from them or bad service when I've ordered online.
