  • Papa John's: Scandals
    Mar 25 2023

    The Papa John’s story really began when a young 15-year-old kid by the name of John H. Schnatter got his first job washing dishes at a small Italian pizzeria known as Rocky’s Sub Pub. But John wasn’t content with just dish washing and set his sights on making pizzas from his first day. After months of hard work, the Fondrisi family who owned the restaurant allowed John to start occasionally preparing the pizza dough and tomato sauce, but they adamantly kept the honor of baking pizzas within the family. John was determined one day to run his own pizza business, but he’d have to wait quite a while to get the funding he needed. In fact, Papa John’s would actually begin out of a bar.
