Definitely the best pizza place in Canterbury in my opinion, I find the pizzas are not greasy like most and very enjoyable. I had a chance to chat to a couple of the guys, one of them a fellow iron maiden fan , really friendly team of guys, oversaw him in the store helping a customer order the pizza they wanted, due to the customer not having English as a first language, they were having difficulties, very patient guy. I spoke to him about the way the pizzas are made to pass the time, told me they use a specific cheese that cuts down on the amount of fat and grease. I asked about the medieval looking mace used to roll my pizza base! it helps prevent air bubbles and keeps the pizza even when cooked. Witnessed all fresh ingredients being put on my order, and then the lids being put back on to the containers keep them fresh afterwards. No spray cheese/garlic like others i have seen and missed toppings all over the show. Philly cheesestake with added mushrooms is my favourite! Its one of thier current specials. Im not a massive fancy of spicy and hot pizzas so just a good savory pizza does it for me. Papa Johns special garlic sauce is to die for... Absolutely hands down, banging. Forget your mayo, this is what you want to dip in its the worst kept secret in pizzas. I recommend the chicken poppers, they are not over peppered and dry like Kfc's. If you have medium pizza and chicken poppers its easy enough to state a grown mans hunger, at a push i could demolish a large - if hungry on my own, but would be out of action, relegated to the couch afterwards. I believe a XL, split, would be easily enough for two adults to feast - four to generously share. I rate them better than dominos on taste, i find dominos pizzas very greasy and sugary due to the sauces and seem to be quite dehydrating the next morning afterwards. That said Papa's bbq chicken one they do is a bit too sweet for me would prefer it if it had a smokey more savory sauce, but most likely you will have your own preferences and might be your cup of tea. I always order my pizzas in person due to the deals you get. A lot cheaper than ordering with delivery, the stores in a easy location to get to and takes no longer than 15mins for your pizza. parking should not be a problem just stay away at rush hour around 5-6pm. Only fault i could give Papa John's Canterbury, is maybe a couple of seats for waiting, but i understand space is at a premium. Vegetarian options: They have clearly marked options on the menu, i believe the garden party pizza is a fave for vegetarians.
