…So it wasn’t a tomb, it was a wood fired pizza oven!
I’m surprised that after sixty posts, nobody’s linked to this yet.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted, started to edit, then decided the good folks here would fix it, and probably make more sense than I would. 
Fixed-width vs proportional font and all that. Still, the Tim McG example above, if it includes an actual space, indicates 7 characters (6+space). I don’t think the amount of letters you could type would vary according to the width of the letters(within their own printing app), so assuming a space, there’s a possibility for 7.
I don’t think we’ll get a definitive answer unless an employee chimes in. Fun to poke at it though.
Chipotle (or some other Mexican food joint) should totally go the same route:
“Your chili experience, managed by Jesus”* 
*He-zoos, that is.
Hey Zeus?
Now that is a God who can really make a great Greek pizza!
The number of letters you can type isn’t the issue. The database almost certainly allows the full name “Christopher” or “Christine”. The issue is the width that it will print. It would be interesting to compare side by side an actual physical “Christ” label and a “Tim Mcg” label. We may find that the right edge of the t in “Christ” and the right edge of the g in “Mcg” are in more or less the same place.
It may come down to some algorithm in the software that decides how many letters it can fit in that space for a given font. There are functions that determine the width in pixels of a given word depending on the font. For example: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagepsbbox.php
I doubt that they’re using PHP, which is used mostly for websites, but they could be using something like that function, or they could have written they’re own. It may not even be a good algorithm and may cut off some character strings sooner than necessary.
My point is that this is more likely due to something involving the software or printer functionality rather than some attempt to proseletyze or make a joke.
For what it’s worth, our recent Pizza Experience was managed by “Alliso” - the same number of letters as Christ and Jeremi
I remember plenty of times during school, my name would come out to Lastname, Christ on standardized forms that put both names on the same line.
Hey I have an Alliso(n)
What Would Jesus Chew?
How many people do you suppose he could feed with just one pizza?
This would explain why they always leave off the bacon I order.
Very nice, wish I thought of that one.
You’re right, Christ and Jeremi have the same number of letters. So does Tim McG if you don’t count spaces.
Weren’t they a 60s group, part of the British Invasion?
Not I. Have you seen what he charges for one pizza?!? Thirty pieces of silver!!!
I heard he pisses into the sauce. I wouldn’t eat one of his pizzas even if I knew it was my last supper.
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that my pizza “experience” is being “managed.” Jesus Crust!
Yes. Yes you are.
Wouldn’t Christ be better off in delivery rather than production?
Then he could just miracle my pie to my door, instead of Andy taking 10-12 minutes to get here and forgetting my wings. Again.
We’re all going to Hell, and apparently there won’t be pizza.:smack:
I don’t know why the Christ thing is such a surprise. Papa Johns IS a prophet-driven organization.
