Our Picks
Ryan’s Pick – Papa John’s was absolutely my favorite chain pizza spot pre-vegan. My favorite thing about Papa John’s was the crust and the garlic dipping sauce. So now I basically just stick with that. I go Breadsticks and Garlic Dipping Sauce (Extra Sauce of course)
Jen’s Pick – Original Hand Tossed Dough with pizza sauce. Add mushrooms, pineapple, onions & banana peppers. Garlic Dipping Sauce is always a must.
