A world-class brand, Papa John's is one of the most exciting, fastest growing pizza companies in the USA. It has got off to the best possible start in Britain by acquiring Perfect Pizza which, with a 12% share of the £360m market, is one of the nation's leading pizza delivery and takeaway business.

Papa John's tried and tested formula and an established British management team with many years' experience in franchising and retailing, mean a solid foundation for a very promising future. The aim is to open 370 UK stores over the next five years.

Founded in 1983 by John Schnatter, Papa John's has grown into an international operation with over 2,500 stores in the US alone.

Annual system wide sales exceed $1 billion, and now Great Britain is spearheading international expansion of the brand. Since the first UK stores opened in summer 2000, customer feedback has been excellent. And with Papa John's already being named UK Pizza Delivery/Takeaway Chain of the Year three times over the last five years by the Pizza, Pasta and Italian Food Association, it's time for you to share the secret of its success.

It is no accident that Papa John's has been voted the best pizza in over 70 separate US surveys and named Best Pizza Chain in America in four consecutive years by the prestigious Restaurants & Institutions magazine.

The reason is simple: commitment to using the highest quality ingredients to produce superior quality, traditional pizza. The only additional ingredient we need is the enthusiasm and drive of our franchisees.
The prospects for the right people are excellent; particularly bearing in mind that home delivery is the fastest growing sector of the market. Pizza is universally popular and unaffected by seasons and trends. Independent research point to the UK pizza consumption expanding to similar levels to those in the united States where people eat three times as much pizza per head.
For our perfect pizzas, only the best will do. Ingredients must arrive in perfect condition at our stores, so we built a new £3million centralised purchasing and delivery system in Staffordshire to maintain and enhance product quality. A modern fleet of temperature – controlled trucks delivers the raw materials in the best condition and on time throughout the country.

We also invest heavily in new technology and make every effort to ensure that we offer the very best service possible. Every new store is equipped with a state of the art computer system called PROFIT. Exclusive to Papa John's, PROFIT has been developed to help improve the efficiency of store operations and provides management reports as well as essential sales and marketing data. We also have a team of IT experts who are always on hand to help with any technical hiccups.

A new national single telephone number now allows callers to ring from anywhere in the country and automatically be connected to their nearest store. An online ordering facility has been added to our website, providing customers with a quicker, easier and more efficient way of ordering.
