My husband just pointed this out to me, printed on the side of our Papajohns Pizza box. “Your pizza experience managed by Christ” Here is what it looks like (not my image, just one I found on the googles) [![](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6k2j0sRmG1qctkcl.jpg) ](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6k2j0sRmG1qctkcl.jpg) Why would Christ give a stink about pizza? I am religious but this seems nuts to me :rolleyes: ---

I’m sure the manager of that store is named Christine or Christopher and it just didn’t fit. Not like I would eat their pizza anyway. ---

Did they anoint your pizza with oil? That describes a whole lot of pizzas I’ve eaten in my lifetime. ---

It’s not a typo :smack:. This is on every Papajohns Pizza box in the country. See Google Search here: [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=your+pizza+experience+managed+by+christ&bav=on.2,or.r\_gc.r\_pw.r\_qf.&bpcl=39650382&biw=1138&bih=514&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=EHnHULGsAoSK8QTviIAo](https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=your+pizza+experience+managed+by+christ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=39650382&biw=1138&bih=514&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&authuser=0&ei=EHnHULGsAoSK8QTviIAo) I doubt every Papajohhs in the country is managed by a Christopher This a deliberate ploy by PJ’s to make a statement about religion, on a pizza box. IMHO it’s stupid. PJ’s is also making the excuse that they won’t provide health care because of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that all full-time employees be provided insurance by their employers, and is using “Christian” values as an excuse. ---

Nothing you’ve posted proves that it’s on every box in the country. You linked to 3 articles, two of which say that it was likely Christopher or Christine, and a handful of pictures showing “Christ”. “Christine” and “Christopher” are both relatively common names, and Papa John’s has standard labels and probably standard printers for those labels. So it’s not unreasonable that 8 or 10 stores in the country would have a manager by that name and would all truncate it at the same place. This makes for a humorous coincidence so there are bound to be a few pictures of it on the internet. Nobody’s going to remark on “Your pizza experience managed by John”, let alone photograph it and put it on the net.
