The store offers carryout and delivery, which is convenient--especially given the lack of nearby alternatives. When orders are prepared correctly and on time, the pizza is enjoyable and a solid option. That said, consistency can be hit or miss, and because Frostproof doesn't have other pizza choices, reliability matters more here than it might in larger towns. For anyone looking for a different pizza experience, it requires travel--about 12.2 miles north, where there are roughly 7 pizza places, or 10.2 miles south, where there are about 5 options. That distance makes quality and consistency especially important for the only local pizza spot. Overall, this location fills an important role for the community. With more consistent execution, it could be an even stronger go-to for residents and visitors alike.

- A Guilty Pleasure! -…read more It's been over 5 years since I last reviewed them and over 10 since I started visiting this location. Over the years I've visited many other locations and for good or bad I'm a Checkers expert! Arriving- Immediately off US Route 27 South and drive-thru and walk-up only! No inside seating. At this Checkers there is one drive-thru for App users and one for everybody else. In the App user's lane, you receive your order through the passenger window which I find slightly annoying. However, the other benefits of the app make up for it. Ambience- The only thing to discuss is the outside seating. A few sizable tables with big umbrellas to keep off the hot Florida sun. The App- The app is solid and well-designed but most importantly, it has great deals. I almost always get some kind of discount. Customer Service- Unless you live under a rock, you know they are drive-thru and walk-up only. I've found the service to be fast, especially in the App-user lane. I've never had a mistake with my order, so the folks are competent. The employees are not usually super friendly, but they are polite and efficient and I'm good with that! Food- Burgers, Chicken and their famous Seasoned Fries in a myriad of combinations. They also do occasional specials like a Cheesesteak which was not bad! On this visit I had their Big Buford which is their take on a Dbl Qtr with Cheese. I added a Seasoned Fries and no drink as I was bringing it home. It would normally go for about $10 but I paid $7 with some App discounts. See my picture. This is not gourmet food, but it was tasty, well-prepared and well-seasoned. It was a great value and I was satiated! Conclusion- So you get better than decent food quickly, at a great price and never need to get out of your car. It's an easy four stars for me!

- We've got the Steak Nuggets! -…read more I only review fast food joints when there is marketing craziness going on and that's the case here. I've been inundated with emails, texts and commercials about these nuggets. My middle name is Carnivore so off I went. The App- I've had the app for years with a linked charge card and never had a problem. My fingers flew across the screen for a drive-thru order, and I jumped in the car with a thread of drool dripping off my chin! Customer Service- This location has always been good for me. There was one car ahead of me in line. My order was ready before the appointed time. The guy was friendly with a genuine smile, and I was gone. Food- Of course I wanted the nuggets, but I still had a few choices. I decided to go with the sandwich. It comes with Pickles, Onion Strings and Havarti Cheese and that was fine. I nixed Mayo as I have Horsey Sauce at home. I added Medium Crinkle Fries, and it set me back $12.35. I brought that bad boy home, zapped the fries for a minute in the air fryer and plated it up. Check out my picture. Taste- I was worried that they would be overdone and dry and I was delighted to be wrong! They were medium, moist. pink, tender, and flavorful. There were plenty of them, so it was a hefty sandwich. The pickles added a nice crunch, and the Havarti Cheese was great. The fries were great as usual. Conclusion- The sandwich itself is over $8 but if you are a carnivore like me, it was a damn fine lunch! Compared to other main-stream fast food joints, I'll give it 5 stars!

The middle one was like they scraped the bottom and edges from the pan serving a very poor sandwich.

At first, I was told, "no" they would not delivered to me. Because I am 1 mile outside of their radius. The young guy I spoke with recommended instead that I called Lake Placid Papa John's which is ridiculous because I'm exactly 30 seconds south of Highway 98. I think the guy was just trying to pass the buck. However, I called Lake Placid and they also said I was outside their delivery radius and that made a lot more sense to me because it would be like calling Denver, Colorado and asking for a pizza to be delivered to Florida. So what do you do? I ended up calling the Sebring location back and asked for the manager. I got Lexi on the phone. That was the manager's name. She was a young lady, but she seemed intelligent and open minded, because when I explain the circumstances to her she said, "yeah that is ridiculous" I also explain to Lexi about how much money they were losing out on because they were not willing to extend their delivery radius to the entire Sebring area. They were missing out on business from all of the people south of HCA hospital now if you think about it that's a lot of people and a lot of money to be missing out on. The radius gap between the Sebring delivery area and the Lake Placid delivery area does not touch. This means there is a huge gap where they are missing all of the Spring Lake and all of the people who live just off Highway 66. Ridiculous! I mean, if I'm a business owner and I have a pizza business, I'm gonna make sure that I cover the entire Sebring area because I'm not about to miss out on money from people because of a 1 mile extra driving radius. Lexi went on to explain to me that she was going to go ahead and allow the delivery, but she also told me that she could not guarantee that every manager would make the same choice at Papa John's. I agreed that that was likely to happen and I understood. Now the pizza: there are a lot of pizzas in this town and a lot of these guys who make them are from New York City so you're not missing out on good quality pizza here in Sebring. I will say that most of the time the sauce is very acidic no matter where you go. Papa John's sauce, which I have not had in sometime, at least 20 years has a definite sweetness. It had a good aroma, and while not punched with herbs it did satisfy the palate in a balanced way. I enjoy the sweetness that they have in their sauce whether they slow cook the onions or just added a little sweetener to the sauce. both are fine it's a matter of taste. Italians will choose one or the other. They all typically use their onions to gain this type of exposure in the flavor by a quick sear and sauté of the onions to gain a bolder aroma, or a slow cook of the onions in order to sweeten them. We ordered the new New York style pizza, and while there is not a consistency in the two pizzas we received the first one was more New York style in the crust. Well, the second one was denser and the crust endings were not equal in size, thickness, or make, but for a commercial pizza, it filled the stomach. In this review, I am complementing the manager more than anything for her ability to deliver to us. You often do not see this in commercial businesses. They are usually very stoic and black-and-white on their terms. For Lexi to think outside the box and be willing to make a personal judgment was appreciated. She was a good manager, and she is being recognized for that purpose. You hardly see this ever so kudos to you Lexi, and thank you for being a good manager!
