PZZA

Papa John’s International, Inc.

A global pizza delivery and carryout chain known for its "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza." slogan, serving traditional and specialty pizzas, breadsticks, and sides across dozens of countries. Founder John Schnatter started it in 1984 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, after selling his prized Camaro to buy used restaurant equipment for his father's tavern. The name came from a marketing student who designed the logo and brand for Schnatter in college — in exchange, he was promised free pizza for life, but Schnatter never learned the student's name.
