I am actually here at our place just outside pidgeon forge and thought I would go try some magical food. My experience from this board tells me that gatlinburg papa john's is that place. I'll let you all know how magical it is.
Gatlinburg Papa John's

Papa Johns is my least favorite pizza but to each his/her own. It's been several years since my wife and I visited Gatlinburg but we had some good pizza (not great but good) at Smoky Mountain Brewery. Good beer but we really loved the atmosphere. Pancake Pantry is a must for eating. Usually long lines.
Going to Gatlinburg and not eating at Papa John's indicates a lack of class and taste.

Better ingredients for starters
Why are boobs good? Some things you don't question.
Yeah actually I can question a sub par pizza. The sauce is mediocre, the dough is boring and the toppings are forgettable. To me it's just not that good of a pizza. Just my opinion.
Maybe. But have you tried the Papas in Gatlinburg?
Until then, I say, "Good day, sir.... I said 'Good day!' "
That's why I asked the question to begin with. Why is it so much better? I still haven't had an answer. No need for the sarcasm just trying to figure this out.
There's nothing to figure out. Either go and get some or shut up about it.
Really not necessary. It's just an innocent question. Why are you guys so sensitive? An answer would be appreciated. Just trying to figure this out because I really don't like Papa Johns.
Some things you just can't put into words. It's just ... different. You should just fill your tank up and head down there. I'm not sure if it's a test kitchen for the region or nation, or maybe it's just the natural creek waters, or even perhaps something more magical than all of that. Do yourself a favor, no, do yourself a service and just get down there.
It is one of Schnatters test markets. One of the big reasons why he now has a helicopter pick him up at his home in Louisville (aside from getting the za' piping hot from Gatlinburg to Anchorage)
OK, that's much better than telling me to shut up. I just asked a simple question. Thanks for the response!
You should still shut up, though. No offense.
Dude you have been here since what 2015? I'm not going to ruin the surprise but everyone in on it is laughing right now.
Still no answers to my question. I'm just not a Papa Johns fan. WHY is the one in Gatlinburg so much better? It's not a hard question. I'm not trying to be difficult here. Good God the art of communication died with the invention of the internet.
I happened to dine there once many moons ago.
Amazing things happen at that particular establishment. Legendary, in fact.
Dude I was 100% agreeing with you. Papa Johns sucks balls. But then I realized you have never ate at the one in Gatlinburg. It's one of a kind.
You are awfully COURAGEOUS hiding behind that PC of yours! He asked a very simple question.What's the problem? You are either some immature kid or you're just being an ***.I think maybe it's the latter!
Still no answer. I mean is the sauce better? The dough? Toppings? How hard is it to describe why the pizza is better? Just trying to figure this out. Let's go back in time, when honest discussion was appropriate. No sarcasm, no name calling. Just good ol' fashioned questions and answers. I only asked a simple question.
And you're just some retread who is hiding behind a different username.
Let me tell you a life hack to make Papa J's taste like some of NYCs finest:
1) Heat a little olive oil on medium high heat in a covered nonstick pan
2) put a slice of pizza face down in said pan for 45 seconds
3) flip that slice over for 2 minutes until the bottom is crispy but not burnt
4) optional: drizzle a little aged balsamic on it (not NYC but still good)
5) enjoy
This also really works well to heat up leftover pizza. Just leave it on a little longer.

Yes I think this is correct - it's craft pizza unlike anything you have had before or ever!
