History
Established in 1985.
What makes Papa John's different is the drive to be the best: Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.The secret to success is much like the secret to making a better pizza - the more you put into it the more you get out of it. We're as hungry for perfection today as we were when we first opened our doors over 30 years ago. That hunger is what allows us to not only provide you with better ingredients but to be the best in the business at making innovative new products and recipes.
Quality is at our core. It's the foundation we started with, from the first Papa John's pizza that was made in a broom closet in Jeffersonville, IN, to now more than 4,600 locations in 34 countries around the world.
We don't use cheap and more processed ingredients, we invest in our ingredients to ensure that we always give you the finest quality pizza. From our signature sauce and toppings to our fresh dough and even to the box itself, we deliver more to ensure our quality is consistently better.

Meet the Business Owner: John Schnatter S.
FocusJohn Lands First Job at Rocky's Sub Pub.John's dad, Robert Schnatter, and his grandfather, "Papaw" Ackerson, drilled into John the importance of hard work. At 15 years old, he landed his first job at Rocky's Sub Pub, a local pizza restaurant, and worked his way up from dishwasher to pizza maker. That experience inspired him to open his own pizza restaurant and create a superior quality pizza chain.
After College He Saves Father's Business by Selling Prized Camaro.John received a business degree from Ball State University. He worked at his father's tavern, Mick's Lounge, and after learning that it was on the verge of bankruptcy he sold his prized 1972 Camaro Z28 for $2,800 to help save the business. He knocked down the broom closet of Mick's Lounge, purchased used restaurant equipment, and began delivering pizzas out of the back of the bar.
