Papa John's Pizza

Delivery charge after 10 p.m.

The pizza is usually pretty good. It's good that they stay open late . . . but it's odd to see the OPEN sign lit up after 10 p.m. . . . drive up to the door . . . . and be told that they ONLY do delivery after 10, even if you are right there --- and charge extra for it. There may be some reasonable explanation but it doesn't seem like a good business practice to alienate potential customers for the sake of the $2 charge.

• Pros: They stay open late -- good thing.
• Cons: Charge $2 delivery after 10, even if you drive up.

The Subway of takeout pizza joints embraces fresh ingredients and store-made crusts.

In Short
These bright white storefronts are accented with green and red details and photos of the chain's boyish founder. The simple menu focuses on standard pies and chicken-centric specialty pizzas--the Hawaiian BBQ, BBQ chicken, and bacon and chicken club--each topped with fresh ingredients like baby portobello mushrooms and roma tomatoes. A selection of sides includes bread sticks, cheese sticks, chicken strips and a handful of dipping sauces.
