“THE DAY OF RECKONING WILL COME” is a funny way of saying “I’m going to have a massive heart attack from eating more than a pizza a day for a whole month”

Doing a bit of digging, and though Schnatter is no longer CEO or on the board of directors, as of earlier this year he was still the majority shareholder, even after dumping a bunch of his stock. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/23/papa-johns-founder-john-schnatter-sells-3point8-million-shares.html
This article, from May, says he would be open to selling more of his stock in August.
Oh, a bit more digging, https://fortune.com/2019/11/06/papa-john-schnatter-sells-shares-worth/ says he sold a bunch more, but he still owns 9% of the company, down from about 30%.

Actually, Papa Johns pizza was really good if done right. Worked at a place run by P. Terry where we did this type of pizza for an all you can eat lunch buffet in downtown Austin. Not thin crust, not deep dish, but yeast risen, fluffy crust. Papa Johns is the only thing that came close. [and BTW, it aint rocket science]

I’ve eaten traditional Italian pizza in a few “seafood and pizza” restaurants in Trieste, Italy and it was very different from what Pizza Hut or Domino’s offers. I wouldn’t say it was greasiest, but you are definitely right about it being best tasting.

With the gigantic caveat that I can’t eat real pizza any more, Pizza Hut was the best of the big chains. The hole in the wall could be anything from fantastic to regrettable. I have heard that Domino’s has improved since they upgraded their recipe, but that came after the whole celiac thing so I have no idea if that’s true.
I had an incident with whatever software Pizza Hut used to determine delivery maybe 15-20 years ago that sent me away for a long time. We had just moved into a new house and were starving and wanted a pizza; the only place we could think of was a Pizza Hut about a mile away (and at the time we were out on the edge of everything). We called but the neighborhood and the phone number were both new; they routed us to every Pizza Hut within 15 miles but none of them would actually deliver to us because their software could’t figure out where we were.
So we ended up calling a few places in the phone book to see if they would deliver to us. One place said hey, you’re on the edge of our delivery area but we’ll do it. They were quick and the pizza was good; we wound up ordering out from them for about a decade.

I tried Papa Johns pizza a couple times a few years ago. Both times my stomach rejected it. Crap pizza, even without the racist, is still crap pizza.

I believe he was talking about the Roast Beef and Seafood stands that one sees just about everywhere in coastal Massachusetts.
Not my thing. I prefer a Midwestern tavern-style pizza to that, but I’d prefer a slice of cheese pizza from a hole-in-the-wall Roast Beef and Seafood stand on the South Shore to anything I can get at the chain restaurants.

It’s similar to an invasive species. Not my thing either. Give me a 'dog at an ice cream stand instead

I got to admit the complimentary garlic butter sauce and pepperoncini are a nice touch. However, there are too many family-owned pizza joints in my town for me to order there.
Well, it is. It’s pizza.
What Americans call ‘pizza’ is an entirely different food. An Italian pizza is not a ‘pie’, and deep pan is not a valid subtype *.
Don’t get me wrong; that’s not necessarily a criticism - I’m just saying that comparing a fresh pizza from Trieste to a ‘pizza’ extruded from a US factory is kind of pointless.
I’ve had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days, and it’s not the same pizza
I certainly hope it’s not the same pizza, eaten and regurgitated 40 times…
*: slightly joking

With the exchange rate, he’d have to eat 80 Little Caesars’ pizzas.
Pizza Pizza!
ETA: Just checked their website. Apparently their pizza no longer comes just in pairs. Not sure when that ended. Imagine how much more mildly funny the joke would have been back in the day.

I really don’t think I’d want to eat the same pizza 40 times.
