I've heard that Papa John's was having trouble. Pizza has apparently gotten extremely competitive...
it's been..a new fave is Blaze..you can get a BYO for 8.95 as many toppings as you wish 10 Blaze fires and you get one free. the pizza is quick fired..a millenial fave. it's the experience. papa johns is just pizza. why would you go there when you can get better food, cheaper, reward and interactive experience at Blaze. it's the only place i go now.

I'm not driving 75 miles to eat pizza. I'm sure there will be 3 up here soon enough.

Disgusting, It only costs a dime to make one of those things?
Nah, it’s the cost of the imposed ACA.

"he's doubling down on his claim that the health care reform will force his company to increase pizza prices by 10-14 cents a pie. He estimates that Obamacare will end up costing his company $5-8 million annually.”

an earlier version of this story estimated that a fair per pie cost increase to reflect additional expenses due to Obamacare to be 3.4 to 4.6 cents a pie. That was incorrect. The range is 5.6-9.8 cents per pie. This is still absolutely outside the range of proposed pie increases suggested by Schnatter at the time, and, as discussed in the comments, the range gives Schnatter a large benefit-of-the-doubt margin as the estimate assumes all pizzas are sold at specialty prices. In reality, many pizzas sold are at discount or coupon prices, and many pizzas are not specialty pizzas, but in fact cheaper pizzas with fewer toppings.
