The food was okay, a bit overpriced for just standard pizzas. What I’m really upset about and what’s compelled me to write this review is the fact that I was charged twice for the same order due to a... See more

I have ordered papa johns in a weekly…

I have ordered papa johns in a weekly basis for the last 10 years Tonight’s was the worst pizza I have ever had. Not cooked properly. Base still has raw dough. It was so chewy and just awful. I know they were on special offer but would be hesitant to order again. They were awful I ordered 2xxl and both were as bad as each other I’m not sure what the black spots were under the base but now thinking it was mould. So disappointing

Dear Customer Service Team,

Dear Customer Service Team,

Order Number: 83322470
Order Date: 06 April 2026, 22:56
Branch: Camden High Street

I am a regular guest at your Camden High Street branch and have been visiting since the branch first opened. Unfortunately, during my most recent experience I was very disappointed by the way my family and I were treated.

On the evening of 6 April, while I was driving, we called the Camden High Street branch to place a pizza order. A female team member answered the phone and my daughter clearly mentioned that we wanted to order a pizza. Without asking any questions to clarify the order, the team member simply hung up the call.

We called again shortly afterwards. This time a male team member answered the phone. When my daughter again said that we wanted to order a pizza, the team member loudly said “f***” and hung up the call. My children were present and the call was on loudspeaker, so they heard this language. We attempted to call again several times but the staff refused to answer.

As a result, we decided to place the order online and selected the option to collect it from the Camden High Street branch.

When we arrived at the branch, I asked to speak to a manager. The female team member told me there was no manager on site, and a male team member then approached. Both confirmed they had answered the calls earlier and explained that they behaved that way because they had been receiving prank calls.

However, this does not justify hanging up on customers or using offensive language, especially when children are involved. The female team member was dismissive and did not appear to understand that her behaviour was inappropriate. The male team member attempted to justify his use of the word “f***” by saying he was speaking to someone else on another line.

My family and I were extremely upset by the way we were treated. Although both employees eventually apologised, it took a long time and did not feel sincere.

As a regular customer, I expect to be treated with basic respect and professionalism. I hope this matter will be taken seriously and that appropriate steps will be taken to ensure that other customers do not have a similar experience.

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Joao Miguel

Worst experience / customer service

Worst experience / customer service I’ve ever received.
They delivered using uber - we ordered direct. The uber driver got lost and when he finally arrived the pizza was stone cold. When we finally got through to the branch they were initially accommodating but then hung up on us mid conversation as we asked to speak with their manager- disgusting customer service

Was once the best pizza in wrexham
It’s now the worse and delivery takes for ever, order for a business meeting with clients they’d been and gone and the food had still not arrived until 90 mins later and was cold.

Absolutely love their pizzas

Absolutely love their pizzas, very well flavoured, lovely stuffed crust and base. We use feed the fam, good price for what we receive. Delivery has always been around 30-40mins which i find very acceptable. Use regularly . Literally have never had any issues with them

Not good

Order took ages, had a message saying cancelled, but website tracking said on the way. Called them to ask if order was cancelled or on the way, the gentleman is immediately said it will be with you in a few mins, I said do you not want to ask which order? He seemed to want to get off the phone but asked for my address, I gave him the road name. He said it's definitely on its way. I waited another 25 mins then called again (app said it's with you, enjoy!) and another gentleman said it's definitely on the way. Pizza finally arrived, I was waiting at the open door and heard the driver knock on some random door at midnight before finding the right house, he greeted me with confusion about how house numbers work ("12, 14, 16, I don't know!")
The pizza itself was not nice. Still warm but just really not nice. Odd herbs in the tomato sauce. Cheap kebab shop garlic dip couldn't save it, either could a random McDonald's dip I had lying around. Threw most of it away.
Would not order again.

Well there is a reason I dont order…

Well there is a reason I dont order from Papa John's - and a reason I won't again
Ordered 4 pizzas. 3 were delivered. Queried this with the delivery driver "Call manager" I am told.
Called the Manager to complain "yes yes, 5-10 minutes" I am told.
30 mins later I call again and state not happy - No pizza delivered. Was told that the pizza originally was cold (according to driver) and they wanted to send a new one. I told him this was a lie and the driver had only bthree pizzas. Told the manager he was lying. He said I could complain. I said I was by speaking to him. He made unintelligible sounds and I gave up.
I guess when you speak to a fool, the response is probably going to be rubbish.
Avoid Papa John's Bedford. Delivery poor, manager unhelpful and pizza is mediocre.

1 star

1 star - because there is no option for 0 star

The pizza and tots delivered from the Watford- Market Street store were Burnt and ice cold.

When we rang the store, the staff said there is "nothing" we can do.

We cannot resend nor can we send you a refund nor a store credit.

Refused to give his name or even whem the manager would next be in.

When I said I will.habe to raise a complaint to the head office amd put this review here he simply said - its ok- do it

So rude and so unprofessional

We have ordered x2 pizzas

We have ordered x2 pizzas. After 50 minutes of waiting and no order we called the store, just to been advised that our order been sent by Uber driver and we have to contact them ourselves ( no any number to Uber driver provided!) I called store again, they said Uber couldn’t deliver due some road works ( no any road works here!) They will make another order and will be with us is 30 minutes, after 45 minutes I called store again coz still no ordered pizzas. The staff told they sent it again by Uber but she doesn’t now where is it.
So after 1.5 hours of my actual order I finally was able to claim refund. After second attempt staff didn’t want hear and offer to send another order.
Absolutely disgraceful and very poor customer service.

Bosh Bosh Bosh!!!

Bosh! Sarah’s customer service skills were on point (especially as I had about 5 questions before continuing to order).
Secondly Geoff was on point being your delivery driver! (Friendly, happy and upbeat).
What a team you have!
