It’s so yummy-buttery-garlicky-creamy when they deliver it… but for leftovers, when I try to reheat a tub of it, it turns to just oil. ☹ Is there a secret step I’m missing? ---

I just shake it up real good and only heat it for about 5 seconds, just long enough to barely get it warm. It usually turns out okay. ---

Pop it in the nuker for 7 seconds, and then shake the hell out of it before opening. If the little cup-pack has been opened, nuke it for 4 seconds, and stir carefully before dipping. Suposedly, it’s just margarine and garlic powder, but it sure seems yummier from that little plastic cup with the Papa John’s logo, doesn’t it? ---

Maybe just drop it in scalding hot water for a couple of minutes? Perhaps drop it in a cup of Joe or Tea. ---

The question for me is: how do you eat Papa John’s pizza? We should drop that stuff on the enemy. ---

This may deserve a separate thread. As for where everyone is, it’s 2:40AM on the EST. I went out and just got back. Maybe everyone is still out or asleep? ---

> [@Sleeps\_With\_Butterflies](#): > > The question for me is: how do you eat Papa John’s pizza? We should drop that stuff on the enemy. I used to hate Papa John’s too. When I was in high school I worked for a pizza place that was the only racket in town for a decade. A little while after I started working there a Papa John’s opened up nearby and they were **The Enemy**. The owners and management of my place were really obsessive in their hate for Papa John’s. Most of the drivers would flip off the Papa John’s drivers when they passed them. I’m really surprised it never escalated into nasty prankish type antics. Eventually it became like forbidden fruit to me and I started craving it. After a few pizzas, I was hooked. They’re not the best pizza out there, but it’s a unique pizza. There are times when I’m in the mood for pizza, and then there are times when I’m in the mood for Papa John’s. Unfortunately my wife holds grudges and refuses to eat there over a moral dispute, so I never get it :(. ---

Papa John’s pizza is pretty lousy The only thing that gets them points in my book is that they include a few pepperocini with every pizza. …they still do this, don’t they? Since moving within 50 miles of Chicago, I’ve never again felt any need to order a pizza from Papa John. Hell, a local pizzeria could announce it was getting its pies directly from China with liberal quantities of melanine baked in and it would still be better than Papa John’s. ---

I like their thin crust with the seasoning shaker. Mmmmm. Also love their breadsticks with the cheese sauce.
