Papa John's Definition of 'Unlimited'

To Papa John's Unlimited means 5 (by nave_7)

Unlimited = five toppings.

It's like Unlimited Texts or Unlimited Internet Access.
But please... this just makes our industry look stupid.
It's been all over reddit and Digg these last couple of days.
They say there is no such thing as bad publicity.
In this case i beg to differ.

Papa John's is an alternate world anyway.

Why should we expect "unlimited" to mean the same thing there as here?
(Insert Twilight Zone music)

GARBAGE PRODUCT. I go to local Mama and Poppa pizzeria. Not this stock holder crap!!!!

Yep, they lost us as customers several years ago when they first moved into our neighborhood because of this, there was a special they were promoting with "unlimited toppings" and proceeded to tell us there was the max of 5 toppings......what bull**** We've never dealt with them since.

We took your comments to heart at the PJ Ohio franchise and have begun promoting this special as 3 Medium Specialty or up to 5 Topping pizzas. We originally used Unlimted up to 5 and are sorry that it was viewed negatively. Our reason for limiting toppings is that once you get a high number of toppings the product no longer cooks properly and falls apart under the weight. We were trying to keep up the quality and now see that the wording is misleading. Sorry from PJ Ohio. :-)

The truth needs to be told in the ads and not so much the fine print. If there is a limit or such on something it needs to be where it can readily be seen by the customer. Not in the fine print which is usually overlooked. This is what leads to problems with customers when they are told there is a limit or certain things are excluded because the company told personnel what had to be enforced. The store caves in in the end because they are expected to "give the customer what they want" to retain their business. Misleading the customer in any way will turn them off and send them to the competition. In this economy, and as cutthroat as the food service business is, that is how money is lost. Esp. when Papa John's is one of the most expensive menu price pizzas in town from what I am told
