Papa Johns Pizza
Restauration - Moncton

As a high school student working at a local pizza pub in Jeffersonville, Indiana, Papa John's founder John Schnatter felt there was something missing from national pizza chains - a superior-quality traditional pizza delivered right to the customer's door. It worked, and people loved his pizza. There, John knew he could make a better pizza by using fresh dough and superior-quality ingredients, and began delivering pizzas out of the back of the bar. From day one, purchased $1600 worth of used restaurant equipment, he knocked down the broom closet of his father's tavern (Mick's Lounge), at the age of 22, and he refused to sway from that commitment to quality. In 1983, John picked up his business degree from Ball State University and went back to Jeffersonville, Indiana. His dream was to one day open a pizza restaurant that would fill that void. In 1984, John opened his first Papa John's restaurant, and Papa John's has been going strong ever since.
