Former Papa John's CEO doesn't like their pizza anymore: 'I've had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pizza is delicious, but there’s such a thing as too much of a good thing.
John Schnatter, the former CEO of Papa John’s, recently sat down with a reporter from WDRB to discuss his departure from the company and its current state. During the interview, Schnatter made a startling revelation.
“I’ve had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days,” he told WDRB’s Stephan Johnson. To put that quote in context, Schnatter was discussing the current state of Papa John’s pizza, which he says is not as good as when he was in charge.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“The way they’re making the pizza is just not fundamental to what makes a Papa John’s pizza,” he continued.
For the majority of the interview, Schnatter discussed his ousting from the company after a recording of him saying a racial slur surfaced. He says that he only said the word during a training call for diversity training and used it to convey his hatred of racism.
