Papa John's Pizza•Fast food pizza can be really awesome

Can't believe how good the pizza from this little shop on Berkeley Street is! Passed by several times without stepping in because it looks so ordinary! I finally gave it a shot today and it was surprisingly delicious! The store was attended by a single cashier-cum-chef - he was pretty brusque and his service wasn't the best [embarassed face]! Watched him prepare my order on the spot which took about 10 minutes. All the pizza doughs are prepped early in the day, then they're quickly fired up as orders come in! Recommendations: *Garlic Breadstick, Image 5, $9.99. First up, it's very oily, so if you're not into oily food, don't try this lightly, there's enough oil to drip! The taste had great texture: crispy yet tender, the potent garlic flavor was a hit with the kids! *Large Pizza Combo, Images 6/7, $19.99. Choose any three-layer topping, and get a 2L drink, it's the best deal in the house! Ordered the regular cheese pizza, it was rich with cheese, thin crust, chewy, huge portion, tasty and absolutely no complaints! *Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza, Images 8/9, $26 per Large, no set meal available, price is a bit high. Because the cheese pizza was so good, immediately ordered the upgraded version with cheese-stuffed crust [amazed face]! Basically, the crust is filled with double the cheese, if you're a cheese lover, you should definitely try this one out, it's even better than the regular one! The only downside is you need to tueat it hot to enjoy the melting cheese—if you take it home, the cheese might solidify! Overall, their market positioning is like the McDonald's of the pizza world. But the taste exceeded my expectations, at least the cheese pizza left a great impression! One large pizza is just enough for two, so it's approximately $10 per person! There are countless branches in the Bay Area, not sure about the quality control! 📍Papa John's Pizza 2222 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704 #PapaJohnsPizza #FastFood #BerkeleyStreet #GarlicBreadstick #LargePizzaCombo #CheeseStuffedCrustPizza #PizzaLovers #BerkeleyCA
