Papa Johns Pizza

Papa Johns is a renowned international pizza restaurant franchise, famously known for its slogan "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza." The brand was founded in 1984 by John Schnatter in Jeffersonville, Indiana, USA. It quickly grew from a converted broom closet at the back of his father's tavern into one of the largest pizza delivery chains in the world.

While the brand originated in the United States, its manufacturing and food preparation occur in thousands of local franchise locations across dozens of countries. Ingredients like dough, sauce, and toppings are often sourced through regional quality-control centers to ensure consistency across the global network. Ownership remains under Papa John's International, Inc., which is headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, and Atlanta, Georgia.
