I didn't even know they were doing that here. The E. Hudson location is just a few blocks from me.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Overwhelmed by the response to a promotion offering 23-cent pizzas, Papa John's closed some of its Columbus stores before dinner today.

Columbus Police officers were called before 5 p.m. to help close the pizza shops because of concerns that the large crowds could become unruly, said Amanda Ford, a police spokeswoman.

She said there are about 20 Papa John's locations in the city, but officers were beginning by assisting at shops on Morse Road, E. Hudson Street, Parsons Avenue, S. Hamilton Road and Kathy Run Lane. They were asking the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office for help at a location outside the city on W. Broad Street.

“That’s where they’re having the most issues” with crowd control, she said of the six locations.

The regional manager for the stores also requested special-duty officers to work outside Columbus locations from 6 p.m. to midnight.

“They’re worried about vandalism if people show up and can’t get their 23-cent pizza,” Ford said.

The pizza chain offered the promotion in several Ohio cities as a public-relations gesture after a Papa John's franchise in Washington, D.C., printed T-shirts last week referring to Cleveland Cavaliers’ star LeBron James as a “crybaby.”

The shirts were printed during the Cavaliers’ playoff series with the Washington Wizards. James wears number 23.

Got screwed out of my pizza. Ordered it in the early afternoon to be picked up at 6pm. Called back at 5 to verify order, at which point the phone had been taken off the hook. Got there at 6 to a mob scene. They said that they stopped taking calls at 3 and that they didn't have my pizza.
No raincheck, no apology.

Yeah, I know, it was free and besides, who eats Papa John's pizza anyway. Still, taking the phone off the hook was a dick move. I'll most likely be an asshole "customer" about it on principle.

Jesus Christ, weren't they thinking?
