00:00A Brit and an American swap countries to try each other's Papa John's. This is
00:04Food Wars Foreign Exchange. Let's start with the classic cheese pizza. There are
00:09some slight size differences between the pizzas in the US and the UK. The US
00:13small is 10 inches, the US medium is 12 inches, the US large is 14 inches, the
00:18extra-large pizza is 16 inches across and cut into 10 slices. Here in the UK
00:23you get the small 9.5 inches, the medium 11.5 inches, the large 13.5 inches and
00:29the XXL, we skip the 1X one right to the 2XXL, 15.5 inches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. 12 slices. That should be 8. I know what you're doing. You think if you have more slices you feel you get a little more pizza and you can dole it out, but no. People are just gonna eat more slices a lot faster. You've accomplished nothing, Papa John's. Nice try. Visually the pizzas look pretty similar to what I'm used to in the UK from a Papa John's. I'd be like, it's pretty hard to mess up just a cheese
00:59pizza from a fast food place. I will say each of the pizzas comes with this little
01:03pepper, which is not the case in the UK. Quite a thin crust, maybe a slightly thinner
01:08crust than I'm used to.
01:12Yeah, that's pretty good. Again, I'd say pretty comparable to what I'm used to in the UK.
01:17I'm not massively noticing a difference. Not like a ton of flavour coming through
01:21from the cheese. The cheese is just kind of there and offers some texture
01:25but isn't really giving me much flavour. They've also been quite light on the
01:29sauce on this one. It might just be the slice that I got, but not a ton of sauce.
01:35All right, let's see how the cheese pizza tastes.
01:41Mmm. This is better than most of the regular cheese pizzas I've had here. Better than Domino's and Pizza Hut.
01:48More flavourful, less fresh ingredients. The sauce is kind of sweet. Yeah, okay.
01:52And Papa John's is good. Mmm.
01:58Here's everything you'll find at a Papa John's in the US that you won't find in the UK.
02:02Here's everything at a UK Papa John's I can't get in the US.
02:05Of course in the US you have the option to create your own pizza at Papa John's
02:08and there are some exclusive ingredients you won't find in the UK.
02:11Today we were able to find two of the exclusive crust options.
02:15Here we have the XL New York style crust.
02:18Now I've been to New York. I've had New York pizza with Joe in fact.
02:21So I feel pretty qualified to comment on whether or not this is actually New York style pizza.
02:27A lot of cheese coverage here. Again, very little sauce like peeking through.
02:33I just don't see how this is New York style at all.
02:35Literally all they've done is take their regular dough and stretch it slightly thinner.
02:39I'm not sure you can call that New York style crust.
02:42Next up we have a gluten-free crust.
02:43I'm always a bit scared when I see a gluten-free pizza on a fast food menu.
02:48They haven't figured out a way to get that chew without the gluten in there.
02:52So often they just end up as like kind of crackers with some cheese and tomato on top of them.
03:01Little baby boy.
03:02Yeah, I'm going into this with low expectations.
03:07Some gluten-free pizzas I've had are worse than this.
03:10Not to say this is like amazing and great but yeah, not too bad.
03:14They've definitely got like a little bit of chew going on that.
03:16You may also be able to find a cheesy calzone epic stuffed crust which sounds great but unfortunately we couldn't get it today.
03:21Outside of the crust options you can also customize your pizza with some other exclusive toppings.
03:25These include a parmesan romano cheese which I don't think exists.
03:30A three cheese blend.
03:32In terms of sauces you can get an alfredo sauce on your pizza or buffalo sauce.
03:36And for meats you can get a salami and meatballs.
03:39I want to draw attention to these meatballs because that looks like one of the driest things I've ever seen.
03:44It's like a ball of wet sand.
03:47Now Joe has cooked this up for me and it is the gluten-free base.
03:51Buffalo sauce is the base which I'm not thrilled about.
03:54The parm romano cheese which again I don't think is a real cheese.
03:58Salami and meatballs.
04:00And we'll try and get like a bit of everything in one bite so cheers guys.
04:07It's not great.
04:08I can't lie.
04:10The main issues.
04:11Gluten-free base.
04:12Not great.
04:14And honestly like the main thing I taste is buffalo sauce.
04:17It's a very strong flavor.
04:18It's overpowering everything else on this pizza.
04:21Thanks Joe but no thanks.
04:22Here are some pizza ingredients exclusives to the UK.
04:25Starting with the cheese they have the vegan cheese crust.
04:27You can get an epic garlic stuffed crust.
04:29A crispy cheesy base.
04:31And a wheat free stone baked base which is gluten free.
04:34Meats you got spicy beef.
04:36Veggies you got chestnut mushrooms.
04:38Oh and also red chili peppers.
04:40Not to be confused with the hot ones.
04:42Sweet corn.
04:43Other toppings.
04:44Feta cheese.
04:45No.
04:45Hot sauce.
04:46No jackfruit pepperoni.
04:48Premium cheese bled.
04:50Red cheddar.
04:50Tomatoes.
04:51Tuna.
04:51Vegan cheese.
04:52Vegan sausage.
04:53Waaah.
04:54All right.
04:55That's the part where we torture our food wars hosts.
04:58UK only.
05:00Papa John's pizza.
05:02What is this?
05:04What is this?
05:05All right.
05:05I've got the crispy cheese base.
05:08Oh yes.
05:09Really crispy.
05:11It's like a dinner plate that you dropped.
05:13Spicy beef chestnut mushrooms.
05:16Sweet corn tuna.
05:17I'm not saying.
05:18Oh yeah.
05:18There's tuna.
05:20And hot sauce.
05:21Hot sauce.
05:22All right.
05:23Let's do this.
05:30It's terrible.
05:31The end.
05:36Of course, if you don't feel like creating your own pizza, you can choose from Papa John's
05:39many preset pizza options here in the US.
05:42So we'll start with this one down here, which is the Zesty Italian Trio.
05:50Zestless Italian Trio.
05:52I don't think I've ever tried banana peppers before.
05:54I know Joe always moans about having to eat those in American pizza episodes.
05:58Banana peppers.
05:59I don't know what it is with banana peppers.
06:01They're suddenly on everything.
06:03I don't get it.
06:04All right.
06:05Not really a thing in the UK.
06:06So see how they go.
06:11I like the salami again.
06:13The banana peppers are good.
06:14Like a little bit of saltiness and heat.
06:17Sausage is pretty good.
06:18I think we're off to like a pretty strong style actually.
06:20Zestless Italian Trio.
06:21Not bad.
06:22In the UK, Papa John's has a lot of exclusive preset options.
06:27This many.
06:28Chicken club.
06:29It's going to do a lightning round here.
06:30It looks like it is chicken and onion and pineapple.
06:37And tomato.
06:43Bland.
06:44Next up we have the meatball pepperoni.
06:46As you can imagine, the meatball pepperoni has meatballs and pepperoni on it.
06:51It's also got this Italian seasoning on it, which is going to be a bit of a theme I think with some of these pizzas.
06:55The meatballs are suffering from that same issue earlier and that they're just very dry and don't offer a ton of flavor.
07:03Pepperoni is good though.
07:04America, I think on the whole, does do pepperoni slightly better than the UK.
07:07Next.
07:08Next.
07:09Ooh, the Mexican.
07:10Very doughy.
07:11Break out the big guns here, guys.
07:14Whoa.
07:15This is your garlic dipping sauce?
07:17Oh, no.
07:18We have like the buttery one.
07:20Uh-oh.
07:21Uh-oh, guys.
07:22Now look in the likes of the sauce versus the Mexican sand sauce.
07:26It's got a little heat because of the peppers.
07:31Whoa.
07:32Whoa.
07:33Whoa.
07:34Whoa.
07:35It's an cinnamon sauce that'll cool it off.
07:38Your garlic and herb dipping sauce.
07:41It's like salad dressing.
07:44This is the fiery buffalo chicken.
07:47So the fiery buffalo chicken has, as you can imagine, chicken.
07:50It's got that buffalo sauce base again.
07:52There's also, I think, some onions on here and some little pieces of crispy bacon.
07:56Again, I'm going to try and put to the side my anti-buffalo sauce base bias.
08:04Obviously, the US-only pizza was probably not the best representation of the buffalo sauce.
08:08It's actually much better on this one.
08:09I think it works well with the chicken, as you can imagine.
08:11Yeah, I still don't think I'd be opting for buffalo sauce as a base given freedom of choice.
08:16But yeah, not bad.
08:18And the last in this row is pepperoni, sausage, and six cheese.
08:21Oh, gosh.
08:24I don't know which six cheeses they're using here.
08:26I don't even know if I can name six cheeses off the top of my head.
08:31That one actually, that one had like more sauce than most of the other ones, which I personally really like.
08:35I think that's my like ideal ratio.
08:37So more like that, please.
08:39This is a hot pizza.
08:41Is it just jalapenos and pepperoni?
08:43Hmm.
08:45Yeah, I like that.
08:46I think pepperoni and jalapenos are good together.
08:48Whew.
08:49We got the barbecue meat feast.
08:51Okay.
08:52Looks like we replaced pizza sauce with barbecue sauce.
08:55Now we're talking.
09:00That's pretty good, too.
09:01I don't know if I could eat a whole one of these.
09:03But yeah, for one slice, this is all right.
09:05It's a good Sharon pizza.
09:07You and your mates.
09:08Moving on.
09:09Small vegan jackfruit pepperoni.
09:13Wait a second.
09:14I'm sorry.
09:15Are they saying that these chunks of jackfruit are supposed to mirror pepperoni?
09:18That's not what that's supposed to look like.
09:23This doesn't taste like a pepperoni pizza.
09:24It tastes like the memory of a pepperoni pizza.
09:28That's not quite right.
09:29Um, yeah.
09:31If you told me a robot made this, I would think, yes, of course they did.
09:36Because this is not what this is supposed to taste like.
09:38I do not like this.
09:39The extra hot veggie.
09:40Are you guys trying to kill me here?
09:44Oh, no.
09:49Actually, we don't like that.
09:50Oh, .
09:52Oh, it's really hot.
10:01Do we have any milk?
10:02Would a Pepsi do anything different?
10:09This one is a favorite just because I think Americans need to know.
10:13Yeah, I'm playing over here.
10:14Then we're onto some meatless options,
10:16starting with the extra cheesy Alfredo.
10:18To the Americans watching this,
10:20Alfredo sauce is not an Italian thing.
10:23And it's not a European thing.
10:28It's got a weird taste to it.
10:29It's quite tangy,
10:31which I'm going to assume is because there's like quite a lot of cheese mixed in with the sauce.
10:35Because at the moment, it's just kind of a chewy, mushy mess.
10:38So this is the fresh spinach and tomato Alfredo.
10:41So let's see if the addition of extra toppings helps the Alfredo sauce a little bit.
10:47Yeah, I think it does.
10:48I think especially with these little cooked tomato pieces.
10:55They at least offer like a bit of sweetness, a bit of acidity,
10:58something to balance out just this like absurdly creamy sauce that's going on here.
11:04Ah, the garden party.
11:05Ah, the garden party.
11:11Yeah, okay, that's fine.
11:12Veggies.
11:13Yeah, alright.
11:15Vegan one, here we go.
11:19They're both so onion-y.
11:20It's just an onion-y mess.
11:22Nah.
11:23Seems to be a theme on American menus that they eventually just say,
11:26screw it.
11:27We're going to chuck all of our vegetables on one pizza.
11:29And here we are.
11:30It's the garden fresh.
11:32Yeah, not bad.
11:33Again, I think it's like, for me, it comes down to a personal preference thing in that I just don't like bell peppers particularly.
11:39So without those, I think that would be a pretty solid pizza for me.
11:42But with those, yeah, not quite for me.
11:45The Greek.
11:46The Greek.
11:49Sorry, I'm touching all the slices.
11:50I apologize, everyone.
11:54Yeah, you know what?
11:55You know what surprise here is going to seem weird to say?
11:57Your feta isn't very strong, but that's better for this pizza because it works with everything else.
12:03The Greeks do it again.
12:05Here we have the Tuscan six cheese.
12:07Because this one's Tuscan, it has a pretty hefty dose of that Italian seasoning.
12:11That's pretty good.
12:12I think I probably would order that over just a standard cheese and tomato.
12:16Vegan, the works.
12:18Oh, I see that jackfruit.
12:28Nope.
12:29Ah, the vegan cheese and tomato.
12:35Whoa.
12:38The consistency of the cheese is like paste.
12:41And then finally we have the super Hawaiian.
12:43As far as I can tell, it is just a Hawaiian pizza but with more stuff on it.
12:48The ham is good.
12:50Like thick cut pieces of ham.
12:53Good chew to them.
12:54Bit of smoky flavor.
12:56Not bad.
12:57And finally, the extra hot meat.
12:59All right, guys.
13:00With these titles.
13:01The hot meat.
13:02Feast.
13:03Ah!
13:11That's good.
13:12That's so good.
13:13Wow.
13:14Oh!
13:15There's that heat.
13:16Ah!
13:18Yeah, that's it.
13:19I like that.
13:20That one's good.
13:21Sorry, I can't eat anymore.
13:22Also in the UK, you can have your pizza delivered to you by helicopter.
13:26As you see, these were dropped to us from 500 feet in the air.
13:29Actually, we had an issue with our order today and it came in several different deliveries.
13:36And the last one was in the back of an Uber.
13:38They even...
13:40And then the last thing said, we are sorry.
13:44Here we have the large four cheese.
13:49Is it really four cheeses?
13:50I can taste the difference in that and the regular cheese.
13:56No, it's...
13:57But...
13:59Four, I wonder.
14:00All right.
14:01And over here, we got the chicken and pepperoni on the crispy cheese, you say?
14:04What is that?
14:05It doesn't mean there's a really crispy crackery crust.
14:11It could be like two thin layers of cheese in the middle, but there's not cheese at the bottom.
14:15These are pappa bowls.
14:22These are pizzas, but without the dough.
14:26There are three of these officially on the menu.
14:28You can get the Italian meats trio and also the garden veggie, which we have here.
14:34You can also get a chicken Alfredo pappa bowl, or you can just create your own.
14:38So basically any toppings that you like on a pizza, you can just have in a bowl.
14:43The fact that I can just hold it like that and nothing comes out.
14:50Do not ever, under any circumstances, order a pappa bowl.
14:55So these are pappa deas.
14:57If we try to dissect the etymology of the word pappa dea for a second,
15:00I think what they've tried to do is obviously take the papa of Papa John's
15:04and combine it with like quesadilla, I think.
15:07Although they've not even spelled it like the double L-A.
15:10It's just I-A.
15:11So not really gone very well there.
15:13And honestly, I don't think the actual end product has either.
15:16Just looking at them.
15:17These are a little bit weird.
15:19They take a small pizza and fold it over.
15:21My concern with the pappa dea is mostly just that it's quite a lot of dough.
15:27For not a ton of filling.
15:30I'll give it a try.
15:31See what it's like.
15:37It's kind of confirmed my fears in that there's quite a lot of dough.
15:40I've already complained about the meatballs being dry.
15:42So when you have like quite a dry, chewy exterior,
15:45and then the fillings themselves are also dry,
15:48that's just an unpleasant mouthfeel and overall dining experience.
15:52So yeah, this one, not off to a good start.
15:55I wonder if the Alfredo sauce will actually kind of come in handy here,
15:58because the last one just needed moisture, really.
16:01It's a marginal improvement.
16:03Now, Joe and I actually went on a tour of Philly and ate Philly cheesesteaks.
16:07Joe, do you want to come and give you a verdict on this?
16:10Like the steak on its own isn't the worst thing ever,
16:14but this is not the delivery vessel for any kind of Philly cheesesteak.
16:19It's really weird.
16:20Yeah.
16:21I think calling this a Philly cheesesteak is an insult.
16:23It's embarrassing, yeah.
16:24I kind of just want to get through these.
16:25So here is the barbecue chicken papadilla.
16:31Nah.
16:32These are lazy and bad, and they make me sad.
16:34You may also be able to find Doritos Cool Ranch chicken steak and beef papadillas,
16:38depending on where you are in the country and the time of year.
16:41Unfortunately, we couldn't find them today.
16:42They do actually sound pretty fun.
16:43Papa John's also has this thing called papadillas, which is kind of like pizza quesadillas, finally.
16:50Come on, Papa John's.
16:53This is a small pizza just folded over.
16:56So what?
16:58That is the vegan Philly cheese mushroom.
17:00No, the Philly mushroom.
17:02This is the Italian sausage and pepperoni.
17:05Over here is the regular Philly mushroom, not vegan.
17:08Look at the state of it.
17:10You must be joking.
17:12Last one.
17:13Mediterranean and veggie and feta and whatever.
17:16And you're like, well, surprise.
17:18Wait a second.
17:19Is this just like the Greek pizza with no cheese?
17:25Papa John's in the US offers both boneless and traditional wings with a few exclusive flavor options.
17:30If you're getting traditional wings, the flavor options are buffalo sauce,
17:33garlic parmesan, hot lemon pepper, or honey chipotle.
17:37Although I will say, looking at the wings, I think maybe they've just only given us buffalo today.
17:41Also, all of them come with raj, which is not a thing in the UK.
17:46Can I get a grip on it?
17:52Yeah, I mean, that one's a buffalo wing.
17:53Pretty tasty buffalo wing though.
17:55Big and juicy.
17:56Good flavor.
17:57We'll try some more.
17:58I stand corrected.
17:59I think this is actually hot lemon pepper.
18:05I'm not getting a ton of the lemon.
18:07And the lemon I do get is that kind of like artificial lemon that almost reminds me more of like a cleaning product rather than the actual fruit.
18:14If I'm lucky, this is honey chipotle.
18:16If I'm not lucky, this is just more buffalo.
18:20I'm pretty sure that's just more buffalo.
18:21You can also get boneless wings and they come in the same flavor options.
18:24Although you can also get an unsourced boneless wing, which, let's face it, is just a chicken nugget.
18:29Sides, sides, sides, sides!
18:32Uh, starting now we got poppers, we got tots, we got spirally guys, we got bites, we got bits, we got the whole thing.
18:41Chicken poppers.
18:42You mean nuggets?
18:43No, poppers.
18:44Oh, what's it in a nugget in a popper?
18:46No one will ever know.
18:48This one doesn't look very cooked.
18:49Okay.
18:50You know what chicken tastes like.
18:51This one.
18:52What is this one?
18:53This one?
18:54This is the peri-peri ones?
18:55Let's go.
18:56I'm respecting all chicken from now on.
19:00Pink's okay, right?
19:03Ooh, but that peri-peri flavor.
19:06Peri-peri non-existent in America.
19:08Yes, I know it's in America, but fast food, very little peri-peri.
19:12Veggie.
19:13San Francisco bites.
19:15The vegan chicken, especially in nugget form, usually reminds me of biting into an eraser.
19:20But with these fried flavors and the seasoning on here, it's actually not that bad.
19:24Here are all the sides exclusive to a US Papa John's.
19:27We'll start with the breadsticks, which come in flavors of either original or garlic parmesan.
19:31I mean, I kind of know how, like, plain baked pizza dough is going to taste, but I'll have a little nibble anyway.
19:37Yeah, sure, I could taste like baked dough.
19:42All of these sides come with marinara sauce and I think are encouraged to be dipped, so give that a little try with that as well.
19:49It's like, kind of like paying for extra crusts for your pizza.
19:52I'll try a little bit of the garlic palm one. These look a lot more appealing.
19:55I just can't really envision a scenario where I order them for myself over just, like, eating a pizza.
20:01Excuse your jalapeno poppers. You're calling them bites.
20:04Who doesn't love a jalapeno popper? That's pretty good.
20:09First, the pork cheese potato bites.
20:12Wow, look at this. Huh? Look at that, right?
20:18Perfectly fine.
20:21Another one. Whoa.
20:23Vegan.
20:25Just okay.
20:32Okay.
20:34I couldn't even, look, I couldn't even just get it with a tot, right? If I just wanted, I gotta grab the meat separately?
20:42For this?
20:44This?
20:45This?
20:46John?
20:47Hey, for the first time in this whole video, second sauce has shown up. Got the hot buffalo dip. Vegan friendly.
20:54All right, John.
20:55Hey, Johnny boy. What do you got here? Cauliflower bites, though?
21:01This I hate.
21:04Eh, jalapeno papa bites. What, papa? What are you doing?
21:09It's just dough wrapped around a jalapeno, or jalapenos wrapped around dough.
21:15Then we have a couple of cheese stick options on the menu.
21:18This is the Tuscan six cheese cheese sticks, and we have jalapeno cheese sticks as well.
21:23It's exactly as you can expect. It's basically just the Italian cheese pizza, but without the tomato.
21:30Which is helpful because it comes with the tomato.
21:33So, this is effectively just a DIY build-your-own pizza.
21:40I don't want to try the jalapeno one.
21:41It's just gonna be this, but with jalapenos. I'm sorry, I'm not trying that.
21:44You can also get jalapeno bacon cheese sticks.
21:46We didn't bother today because it's literally just this, but with some bacon on it.
21:49So, use your imagination.
21:50The US also has one exclusive flavor of papa bites, which is calzone flavor.
21:55But thankfully, Joe spared me and did not order those today.
21:58These are sticks, apparently.
21:59So, down here we have garlic pizza sticks, four cheese garlic sticks, garlic sticks, bacon cheese sticks.
22:07Depending on what combination of bread, garlic, and cheese you want, you can have any one of those here.
22:18Hey, yo! Garlic and bread. Who doesn't love that? But no cheese, that's weird.
22:24While we're here, let's do sauce talk.
22:26Sauce talk.
22:27Got the tomato and herb dipping sauce.
22:34Oh my god.
22:37If you take the cheesy bread and the sauce, it tastes like pizza! Oh my god!
22:45Also, we've had it before, we'll have it again. Garlic and herb.
22:48I'm telling you, this wouldn't fly in America. I think if this became the default sauce one day, everyone would return their Papa John's pizza.
22:56We want the melted butter with the garlic. That's what we want. We don't want this.
23:01They tried changing it and people got really upset.
23:03These are the exclusive US sauces. I have a solitary bread stick. So firstly, we have this zesty sauce.
23:11Not too bad. Could be zestier, arguably.
23:17It's the spicy garlic dipping sauce. I'm not getting any of the spice.
23:22Classic pizza sauce. It's pizza sauce. It's fine.
23:26Ranch. I'd say the ranch is like zestier than the zesty sauce.
23:32The issue with barbecue sauce on a pizza menu is that personally, I just don't think it goes with that many things on the menu.
23:37You might be able to find some other sauces that we couldn't get today.
23:40These include a blue cheese sauce, a honey mustard sauce, a cheese sauce, and a cream cheese icing.
23:46You may also be able to find a Doritos Cool Ranch sauce, depending on where you are in the country and what time of year it is.
23:51Although, I'm struggling to think how that would be any different from just ranch.
23:54UK desserts, they have a few things here that you can't get in the US. Here's one of them. The cinna pie sticks.
24:01It's the sticks again, this time with cinnamon. No thanks.
24:07You can also get an assortment of Ben and Jerry's ice creams. We did order those, but again, they're sorry.
24:14The US has two exclusive desserts that we don't have in the UK.
24:17Firstly, we have the Oreo Papa Bites. Papa Bites are effectively just swirls of dough with a filling.
24:23In this case, we have some icing on the outside and little Oreo crumb pieces on the inside.
24:29These also come with a little dipping cup of icing.
24:41It's hard worked. It's very tasty.
24:44I do think maybe the dough has sat out slightly too long because that has gone extraordinarily chewy.
24:50Then the other exclusive dessert is cinnamon polar parts.
24:56Yeah, that's like actually pretty reminiscent of a cinnamon roll.
25:00We actually have a few more American exclusive items that we weren't able to get today.
25:04This is because we actually exceeded the number of items you're able to include in one order.
25:09Food Wars problems.
25:10Exclusive drinks.
25:12Pepsi Max.
25:13Pepsi Max Cherry.
25:147up Zero.
25:15Orange Tango.
25:16Robbins' Real Fruit.
25:17Raspberry and Apple.
25:19Bally Goin' Water.
25:20What's Bally Goin'?
25:21Bally Goin' Water.
25:22Straight from Scotland.
25:23Here are the drinks you'll find at Papa John's in the US, but not in the UK.
25:27Now, I know there was some chat about Starry recently because it replaced Sierra Mist, I believe.
25:31But as far as I can tell, it's effectively just like a 7up or maybe a Sprite in the UK.
25:36It's like a carbonated lemon-lime beverage.
25:38Next up, we have a Pepsi Zero Sugar.
25:40Dull-branded lemonade.
25:41American lemonade, which is cloudy, lemony, and not fizzy.
25:45We have a Crush Orange soda.
25:46Of course, we have good old American Mountain Dew.
25:47And finally, we have Mug Root Beer.
25:48I don't know what root beer is.
25:49I don't think I've ever had a root beer before.
25:50Mmm.
25:51It's good.
25:52I think the closest thing I can think for a UK equivalent to this is Dandelion and Burdock,
25:57which is like an old-school British soda.
25:58It's good.
25:59I think the closest thing I can think for a UK equivalent to this is Dandelion and Burdock,
26:13which is like an old-school British soda.
26:18Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by your Papa John's.
26:21Of all the fast-food pizza I've had for Foreign Exchange, it's probably my favorite.
26:25Is there something on your menu that I would like to take back to America with me?
26:28Of course, it's got to be that spicy veggie that I had, right?
26:32The one that I just...
26:34What was the one that made me, like, go like that?
26:38Dislikes.
26:40Papa Diaz, the Papa Quesadillas.
26:42That is the laziest, laziest menu entry in any fast food.
26:47Bennett.
26:48Joe says, Bennett.
26:49You know what you got to get rid of?
26:51You know what I didn't like?
26:52What was going on with that thin crust, cheesy crust thing?
26:56I don't know what was going on with that.
26:57Now, granted, those pizzas look like they were delivered via foot.
27:01If you're giving me that thin of a crust, that pizza has to be at least 15% cheap.
27:08Right?
27:09It just seemed like a waste of space and kind of a rip-off.
27:11So that, gotta go.
27:13Overall, I think Papa John's has done a pretty good job.
27:16Also, like, compared to Domino's, I just feel like the pizzas were much more manageable.
27:19They weren't cramming too many toppings in there.
27:21I think the ratios on the whole were pretty good.
27:24So yeah, I think, like, broadly speaking, barring a few big whiffs, not too bad, Papa John's.
27:30I remember when we did the original Papa John's Food Wars,
27:32I did notice that Papa John's in the UK wasn't too filled with chemicals,
27:36and I think it was kind of the same in the US.
27:38So maybe that would explain why, in this example,
27:40there isn't too much difference between the two of them.
27:42If there was one exclusive item that I could take back with me to the UK,
27:46I'm not exactly sure what it would be.
27:48There were a couple of pizzas that I thought were pretty good.
27:50I quite liked the pepperoni sausage and six cheese.
27:53I think those worked together.
27:54And for some reason, that pizza just had a better, like, sauce ratio
27:57than most of the other ones.
27:58Outside of that pizza, I think maybe the desserts were actually quite good over here.
28:01I think Americans do do desserts quite well.
28:04Either the cinnamon pull-aparts or the Oreo bites, both of them could come back with me.
28:08If I had to pick one thing to delete from this and all menus from around the world,
28:12I don't think it's going to shock anyone when I say the Papa Bowls.
28:17Those were an abomination.
28:19They do not deserve to be near any menus.
28:22Get rid of them.
28:23They're so stupid.
28:24What were you even thinking?
28:25Yeah, those are cut.
28:27This might be the only way on record to shut Joe up.
28:31Yeah.
28:32Oh, I'm just kidding.
28:33Oh, I'm just kidding.
28:34Oh, I'm just kidding.
28:38Mm-hmm.
28:39Woo?
28:40Yeah.
28:41Withoutreadarse.
28:42Bye.
28:43Champions.
28:44Let's do the version.
28:48Yeah.
28:49It was.
28:50Good to see.
28:51How could youell Chris?
