Papa John's Definition of 'Unlimited'
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. :-)
Papa John's LeBron James 'Crybaby' Shirt Controversy Means Cheap Pizza for Clevelanders
Obviously this was not a nationally issued opinion and as the Director of Marketing for a very large franchise with 28 of our stores in Ohio, we are deeply saddened by this judgement call that put all Papa John's stores in jeopardy. I hope that people will see this as something done without consent of every Papa John's owner. PJ Ohio stands firm and supports LeBron James. We are sorry this happened.

Last bite on earth: oh gosh.... I don't know. Pizza?
I went to the link you provided and responded... thanks! Damage control sucks when the actions of another franchise were very poorly thought out.
Jon Eick is exactly right, this was not approved... Gurgling Cod, I was told on Monday by corporate there were about 5 shirts. I don't know if that number is higher or lower, but I don't think it was a lot...
From my understanding there weren't meetings and high up food chain things going on here. As with most pizza chains, Papa John's is made up of many franchisees. Washington DC is a franchise, not corporate. Corporate owns the Cleveland market... duh would they ALLOW someone to hurt their business knowingly.
FYI the average 1 Topping Large Pizza cost $2.80 to make with food and paper products and doesn't cover overhead or labor. .23 hardly covers any cost and even if it did it wouldn't matter because Papa John's is donating each sale to the Cleveland Cavaliers Youth fund that day along with an additional 10K!
