Papa John's Pizza Size

[Bisayan_Shaolin]

I have a very quick question to any of Papa John's Pizza Managers worldwide. If i order a 9" size pizza or any other size avaolable on the menu, do i expect to have an exact 9" size ( or other sizes) being serve to me?

If no please state your valid reasons why. Thanks

Papa John's pizzas are available in 10", 12", 14" and 16" sizes. That is the size you should expect, with a few exceptions. If the fresh dough is too cold when your pizza is made, the dough (hand tossed), will not attain the proper stretch because the proteins in the flour are very tough and elastic. The pizza will tend to shrink a little in the oven as the proteins tend to want to snap back to their original positions. If the manager on duty is worth his/her salt, He/She assures that the dough is at "operating temperature" before forming the pizzas, but in the case of a sudden, unexpected busy period, they may have to use dough right out of the cooler. But as a long-time Papa John's employee/manager, you can usually read the day to know how busy you are going to be, factors included in that decision are things such as weather, days leading up to a holiday, local sporting events, and local teams televised sporting events. I hope this gives you an insight to your pizza size without too much overkill. Thanks.
