Papa Johns Pizza is celebrating its 25th anniversary, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid couldnt care less.
During an interview with The Hill last week, Reid (D-Nev.) stopped mid-sentence to check his BlackBerry for what could have been a very important e-mail.
A message from Rahm Emanuel? A breaking development on the Senate floor? Not quite.
Help Us Celebrate Our 25th Anniversary With a $0.25 Pizza! read the e-mail from Papa Johns.
Reid snapped, Purchase a pizza for a quarter? I dont like pizza, and I especially dont like Papa Johns Pizza!
Reid then tried to get back to the question at hand, but his pizza rant threw him off.
After a moment, Reid asked, Where were we?
Tish Muldoon, a spokeswoman for Papa Johns, said that the majority leader must have previously ordered from Papa Johns or opted in for company e-mails, because the restaurant chain does not send out spam.
Regardless, Muldoon said, We would love to become his favorite pizza. The next time, if he wants, the pizza is on us.

I don’t like pizza, but there’s one exception: Giordano’s.
Giordano’s deep dish seafood and spinach pizza...now THAT is an awesome pizza!
NY style? You might as well eat the cardboard box. Blech.
They say you are what you eat, so apparently Papa John’s does not serve “miserable old ba$tard”.... (stole it from a sitcom).
I agree. The first few times I ate PJ's Pizza was in Jonesboro, Arkansas, back in 1994. I was doing some consulting for a client, staying in a motel for a week, and ordering pizza for dinner. The room had a fridge, so I could keep the leftover pizza cool until the next evening. So, I'd order a large enough pizza to last for two dinners.
Then, a few years later, a Papa Johns opened up here, and I eagerly ordered. YUCK! What happened to their recipe?
It seemed that they changed the tomato sauce in the mid-90’s and (IMO) made it sickly sweet.
Papa Johns leaves me on the toilet making poo soup for two days, so I can’t say I blame him.
“1990s Papa Johns pizza was awesome.”
Absolutely. I would often drive to the next town over about 40 mins. away just to get a large pepperoni. This was back when they used to make them with the pepperonis inside the cheese rather than on top.
Also, the sauce was slightly better tasting, as was the crust. Then again, everything tastes better in retrospect for some reason.
But also, the prices back then were very reasonable. In college we used to get large one-toppings for $5.99. Now a large one topping is $12, and that’s if you pick it up. Almost $20 if it’s delivered (delivery fee + tip)... ridiculous.
Harry Reid is the most senior phoney in DC. He has no redeeming qualities whatever. Besides, how did that spam mail get on a gumment Crackberry anyway? Using it for personal use, eh Har?
High-fructose corn syrup. It’s everywhere and is responsible for the obesity epidemic. Order Pizza Hut. They don’t use it.
The only pizza I will buy is from Andy's pizza in Jackson, MI.
Real Sicilian pizza baked in brick ovens. A large with everything will weigh close to 5# !
5 tictactoes?
Yep. Somthing broken about that guy. Or perhaps "it" was never there. A reasonably decent pizza for a quarter, sure, rag all over that.
What a dullard.
Good call but since I moved away (Albion), I’m hooked on Giordano’s.
Oh, you can get the regular pepperoni/mushroom/pepper style pizza at Giordano’s too, but I don’t like pizza. So that “abomination” suits me perfectly. ;-)
I think he means 5 roses or 5 hugs.
His dislike of pizza is unforgiveable, but Papa John’s pizza sucks.
I’ll bet Reid’s favorite meal is a bowl of Fruit Loops.
Wish we had the little turds number, I’d give him lots of calls.
