I have been told to try Papa John's, for a long time. I saw somewhere that they were one of the best. So, I had a BOGO deal on Uber Eats and it was a Friday . Not just a Friday, but Valentine's Day. And it was Family Film Night. So, I decided now would be a good time to try. Since it was BOGO, I selected Create Your Own. And I went with the 16" (Extra Large) crust. I added 4 toppings. I chose New York style crust because I never had that before. I honestly believe that is my favorite crust! The slices are large! I didn't know about the butter dip! If I would have known, I would have ordered extra! Each pizza came with garlic parmesan butter dip! Oh em gee, it is so good!!!! Pizza is probably my favorite food and I have tried many around town, chain stores and small businesses. Papa John's is definitely in my top 10! read more

Went to this specific Papa John's twice, both horrible experiences. the crust is always hard, and somehow burnt all the time. We had ordered 2 medium pizzas. Somehow only got one, so the worker made our other pizza, just for it to come out like this. The ambiance overall looked depressing, photo speaks for itself. I suggest going to a different Papa John's for a better experience. read more

Papa Johns Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I hadn't ordered Papa Johns for a while and my kids requested I pick up Pizza on my way home from work. They are simple and pepperoni is their jam! I ordered their favorite, but NY style! It's my new favorite! I love a stuffed crust, but we passed on it this go around. My visit was in store and the young man that helped me was super friendly and helpful. I give him kudos for his service. No tables for dine in, but there's a bench to sit and wait. They were prompt on their timing and I so appreciated it after the long days I have been working. Their garlic butter sauce and their peppers are a staple! Papa Johns has been one of my favorite pizza joints for years. Two locations: one in Sparks off of Prater and Sparks Blvd and south Reno in South meadows Smiths shopping center. My family and I will be back. read more

Papa Johns Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Always burnt, looks like other people said the same. And the sauce is so salty it's almost inedible also gave me horrible diarrhea and gas all night. Don't come unless you want food poisoning read more

This place needs to be inspected by a health inspector. They do not wear headsets, or gloves. We witnessed the cashier handling cash at the register and then proceeding to make pizzas. On a different occasion, we noticed that an employee was sneezing/wiping his nose with his bare hand while preparing a pizza, with no gloves. It is also very difficult to understand them over the phone because of their heavy accent. read more

Today I ordered a heart shape pizza for my mom for Mother's Day when I got the heart shape pizza to surprise my mom. But She was surprised when she opened the heart shaped pizza and found the back filled with mold. What a disappointment on Mother's Day. Don't ever order from this place if you want Food poisoning. read more

Papa Johns Pizza - Heart shaped cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Our pizza was terrible!!! The garlic knots are amazing! I thought the sausage had a weird taste.

Best OG pizza in town! The pesto chicken is a winner as is the pepperoni olive and Hawaiin. Don't go anywhere else! They also offer crust for your bake your own. Their crust is much better than homemade or trader joes' read more

Best pizza house and customer quality service George !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the lookout for quick pizza that was easy to order online, Papa Johns came up on the Yelp & Google. Many years ago, I left one of my first terrible reviews due to an extremely awful experience with a specific individual. I decided to give them another shot based on the convenience and consistently food from the franchise in general. I'm so glad i gave them another chance! I can't emphasize enough - it's so convenient to order online and know exactly what you're getting and when it'll be ready. I arrived about 10 minutes early to pick up and we'd just wanted to check in so they knew we were there - the employees explained they'd just put in our last pizza and to allow 5-8 minutes. We told them we'd wait outside and no rush since we were early. Just as quickly as we watched them pull our pizzas out of the oven, the young man brought us our pizzas out to us to our car - offering cheese and peppers as well (usually i have to ask for these things at other pizza places). Great experience! Great atmosphere. Clean. Friendly. Very pleased to have my local cheap, easy & good pizza joint back. :) read more

Not a big pizza fan, but the bread sticks are on par with all of the great sauces. Downloaded the app. Ordered my bread sticks and sauces just before lunch and it's always right and ready when I get there. Very much appreciated since my lunch break is not long enough. Their app will stay on my phone for as long as I work nearby. read more

To those of you wondering why this location has been closed for about 2 months now... I'm an ex employee here to tell the truth. I ran the Sparks location and on June 1st 2023, we went through a change of ownership of our franchise. The franchise includes the location in South Meadows in south Reno. The new owner was great... at first. But then they took advantage of me. They burnt me out while giving me zero credit for what I did for the place. I left with 4 hour notice because I just couldn't take it anymore. I didn't have another job lined up immediately but I had another job within a week. It was around a week after I left, they pissed off another manager that was there and he quit. This forced them to close as they don't even have enough managers to run the place. Please people go to Domino's or Pizza Guys. The new owner of Papa John's in Reno/Sparks is so screwed without a good crew. He never paid me or treated me with what I deserved. I made $16.25/Hr and did the best I could do run the store. Now I'm not even in a management position and I'm making more money lol. read more

This Papa John's location is excellent. My husband and I were in the mood for inexpensive pizza on a Friday night, and we ordered an XL 2-topping for $12 with a $2 tip. What an excellent deal! The only other location in town is in South Reno, so we are glad that there is one in northeast Sparks. We placed our order online, and we were impressed by how easy it was to customize our pizza. The design of the web app on the site was the best I've seen: I was *delighted* by the graphics of each of the toppings that we selected "falling down" onto our pizza as we chose them. My husband and I spent some time debating between "sausage" and "spicy Italian sausage," so we got to experience the graphic multiple times. Our piping-hot pizza was ready for pick-up in 20 minutes. The employee working the front desk was super friendly. Stone Temple Pilot's 1994 jam "Interstate Love Song" was on the in-store radio, which made these millenials happy. Our pizza was delicious, and we both ate three slices. Four slices remain for Saturday snacking. We will be back! Now we understand how tucked in this shopping plaza this Papa John's is. It's on the far east side of the plaza, almost by Sparks Blvd, and to the left of Flowing Tide. There's a surprising among of foliage nearby. We saw a mama duck on our way in! read more

Papa Johns Pizza - $12 XL two topping pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Papa John's Pizza is very good. I used to think that roundtable pizza was the best. I stand corrected and I would like to challenge everyone to try Papa John's Pizza. Do not have a delivered because you're gonna get charged the same price of your pizza. Delivery charge and taxes yada yada yada That's the only negative. I have to say about Papa John's pizza. I love it. read more

Ordered over the phone this location has some of their orders delivered by DoorDash if they don't have enough drivers. Anyway I asked the driver if the tip was included and he said it said $1. Meanwhile when I called I told them and they charged me for a $5 tip. Won't be ordering from here again. Not right to take advantage of drivers with these gas prices. read more

This was our first time ordering papa John's as we live in northwest Reno and have plenty of pizza options up here that are locally owned or a chain. We choose to support local especially during this CODID-19 pandemic. My sister recommended papa johns as their pizza and sides have always looked good and said they tasted good. I wish that was our experience but as you can tell by the photos it was not. Our 3 pizza's were filled with grease. I took some breadsticks out to show just how greasy this was, you can see a pool of grease in the corner. Our poppers were dry and had a weird smell to them. My sister lives in fernley so a wait time can't be from this with how ours were. We spent $81 on a local business just to be disappointed. I would expect in hard times like this local companies especially would want to make sure their customers orders are edible. Not sure how to reply to the owner but my sister has ordered the exact same thing with hers not being this greasy. This is not a corporate issue. If you pride yourself in being a local and a local is having an issue, don't push them off to corporate. Take care of the issue within your local business and take care of your locals like they do to you. read more

Update: I went the next time and got pizza, and I guess it's the owner, he was awesome and I got extra pepperoni and it was absolutely delicious, it is worth the extra 20 minute drive to get pizza from you guys, I am really impressed. Asked for another pizza that was a special, and he says don't get that one it doesn't have a lot of pepperoni, just ask for extra pepperoni and I did it was so good. OK darn it now I want one LOL and that's too far away. Lol Hungry now. read more

Yay a Papa Johns by me! Got a flyer with some great promos and ordered right away! It's brand new... opened today. Opening days are always hectic but they handled it like pros! Hubby went and picked up the food and met the owner, said he was super nice, shook his hand and everything. Food was yummy. Always love the pizza here because here are always a lot of toppings. My favorite is the jalapeño bacon cheese bread. I could eat the whole thing by myself lol. Happy to have them in the neighborhood! read more

Tried ordering 2 weeks ago, but says they are 'temporarily' closed? as of today August 27 2023 been 2 weeks too bad they are no longer open they had great pizza. read more

I have tried so hard to want to like this store but sadly it doesn't live up to the Papa John's I know and love. Every time I order there is an issue rather it be forgotten items, expired/spoiled sauces, and cancelled orders when product is available and store is open, but today I was delivered a basically fermented sauce cup for my breadsticks and when I called to inform the manager there was no regard for the issue besides an "oh....ok....." not even a sorry or even a question of who I am or what I ordered. I'm done spending close to $70 for a pizza, breadsticks, wings, and dessert that is poor quality only to be backed by bad service. I suggest picking any of the other 30 pizza places in town and hopefully you won't get rotten food. read more

Eric, the owner, is TOP NOTCH. I've been sick for two weeks and just wanted Papa Johns. Our delivery never made it here so my husband called for an update and Eric took the best care of us. Our delivery ended up making it to the house and Eric still comped our meal and made us a fresh pizza for our troubles! I very rarely get the customer service that was offered from this location and he now has a customer for life. read more

Ordered a salami, sausage and mushroom pizza which was our first time to try Papa John's and will be our last. It was like eating cardboard. Worst pizza we've ever had and a total waste of money. read more

Ordered online, 45 mins until close got a cancellation 2 mins later. They should change there business hours if they can't keep up. First time trying them, guess it will also be the last time. read more

This Papa John's is the best! Always great service in the 3 years I've been here. My boys love it! I should invest in the stock for as much as we get. The guy working there the last couple times I've been there is excellent! When I'm walking out the door he always says "Enjoy and Don't let anything ever get you down". Love it! Thank you Papa John's!! read more

Good people, great customer service, friendly. I like this store the best, they treat you right!

I was excited to try the stuffed crust pizza, can't taste anything other than the burnt crust that this location gave me. Looks like they forgot to put an adequate amount of cheese on it as well. I'll stick with one of the better (albeit more expensive) pizza parlors around here. read more

This review may get a little weird because I'm just so damn happy and excited about the deliciousness that we just wolfed down. First of all, I'd like to thank this location for opening because I'm finally able to enjoy pizza the way pizza should be enjoyed. I was previously forced to order from an inadequate and frankly impolite franchise who couldn't get an order right if the world depended on it... I digress... I grew up in the big OH where the Papa was the only pizza place other than the hole in the wall, that was anywhere close let alone delicious. When we moved here, I was devestated to find out that there weren't even any locations out here! When one finally popped up, they wouldn't deliver to my address and I'm frankly too lazy to drive over and pick up a pie (sad, but true). I came across a gift card today that was gifted years ago and thought "Let's give it a try"... I put in my address and then the computer screen beamed rays of sun light on me and the pizza angels started singing... (I told you this could get weird) Secondly.... the delivery person that I had was the NICEST delivery person that has come to our door basically EVER. He went over the order with me to make sure he grabbed everything, he gave loves to my over eager dog who was trying to lick the pizza smell off of him and he was just overall a good and gracious human being. I wish I got his name so I can give him the recognition he deserves with his manager. Third...I hope they understand that I'll be ordering on bi-monthly basis and that we're going to become best friends. Fourth... IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED FROM THIS LOCATION YET, YOU'RE INSANE. GET IT DONE NOW!!! read more

I was craving pizza, so I ordered from papa johns. Thank goodness they opened one right down the street from me and they don't close until 11pm. We ordered online, it was pretty easy. When we came to pick it up it was ready and the manager gave us free cinnamon sticks which we were very excited about! The service, staff and pizza were excellent. I'll be back. read more

Great food and service. The only bad reviews on here are from pissed off karens that think the world owes them pizza without grease. Don't trust karens. read more

Ordered online. Got a text letting me know pizza was done after about 10 minutes after ordering. Drive another 10 minutes to get there. Was told by manager that it had just popped up and would be another 10 minutes (no apology). Waited about 5 on a bench. Stood up to see what I could see. A pizza was on the "ready" shelf. Couldn't read it to see if it was mine. Stood for about 2 minutes to have a guy (who had just been eating in the back) come ask me if I was waiting for DoorDash. I responded that I was waiting for online order. He checked the computer, printed my receipt and handed me the pizza that had been sitting there. I said, has this just been sitting there?! He said yes for 4 minutes. I said "that's really irritating why didn't anyone tell me?" He said "uhhh.. sorry?" Customer service is totally lacking here. read more

The Papa John's in Sparks is the best place around to order pizza. We order pizza for our hospital staff almost every week and they never make mistakes on our order. The staff always recognizes me when I call in and are very personable. I want to especially thank Eric who is ALWAYS friendly no matter how annoying i am. He constantly has to take the time to fetch and email me recipts. I am thankful especially during these very hard times that they are open and willing to do their best to help our hospital staff so we can help care for the community. Everyone should be thankful that we still have them to relay on. Thank you SO MUCH for all you do. Pizza is always hot and tasty. Thanks again read more

Recently reviewed this Papa John's location but had to give another shout out due to the staff going above & beyond on an order we wanted to have delivered to our local firefighters. This location was not offering delivery but I decided to call & ask if they could help us out because we wanted to surprise our firefighters with dinner. Papa John's Spark's said "Yes" to my request & not only delivered our order but waited for our plant manager to meet them at the station because the firefighters were responding to a car accident at the time of delivery. Please support this amazing business!! read more

WOW! just pulled up to pick up my order. Noticed that the guy making the food was wearing his mask under his neck. At the same time the owner was walking out the front door putting ON his mask as he was exiting! It was obvious he was just making food. I said "excuse me, is the guy making the food wearing a mask?" and he replied "PROBABLY NOT", and kept walking. What the heck??? Asked him to cancel my order. The pandemic is NOT over people! Never again Papa. read more

I will only order here. The owner is a person who cares about his customers. Our order took a little longer than expected and he went out of his way to personally talk to me and explain the situation when I wasn't the nicest about the situation. I would give this place a 20/10 if I could. The driver also apologized for the inconvenience as well and seemed genuine. All said and done Compte our meal and went out of his way to personally bring it to use. Order from here you won't regret it and the food is AMAZING. read more

Stopped by to get a pizza to go during the corona virus & was told that they were only doing delivery. I ask them if they could deliver it to my car, I was parked in front of store. They said no. Doesn't seem like they want business, fine I'll go somewhere else. read more

Haven't had them in YEARS so I figured I'd give it a shot. Seriously guys A pluses across the board. Prompt delivery and the food was hot and absolutely delicious. Not one come. Happy I decided to try again with you guys and will definitely be back. read more

Just to state this is one of the worst Restaurant experience I Have ever had. Me and my friend wanted to try the new location since its closer. But looking back on it I regret. First off the location is awful. I had trouble finding it. But once I saw that bright neon sign it wasn't too bad. Second off I wasn't greeted at the door, third off after placing my order and picking it up. I wasn't offered cheese and peppers and when I did ask for some I only got two then when I asked for more they kinda just stared at me and ignore my request mind you my friends order was somewhat big. Lastly when I opened the box. The pie wasn't round, had excessive sauce and not enough cheese I feel like they try to short me on some cheese.I rather just go to pizza plus down the street. Not recommending this location to any of my friends anytime soon. read more

I ordered a 16" pizza and 8 bbq wings. These wings are LITERALLY inedible. They're extremely rubbery and the texture consists NOTHING of chicken. I feel sick to my stomach , I can't believe this was really served to me. The pizza was just okay. Barely okay at that. They forgot my dipping sauce THAT I PAID EXTRA FOR and the meal came without napkins , parmesan , or crushed red pepper. This restaurant is a sad excuse for a pizza spot and I encourage ANY AND EVERYONE to save their money and order from somewhere else. read more
