The New York Times’ reports that a Papa John’s pizza franchise is moving in next door to Johnny’s Pizza, a fixture in Sunset Park for decades. The owner is especially upset because the original papa Johnny died a month ago.
Of all the spots the franchise could have chosen, why, he asks, did it have to be on the other side of the wall where two centurion busts stand guard above customers waiting for zeppoles or Sicilian slices?
papa john’s wont last long, my buck is with the mom and pop shop. The owner of the franchise pizza shop will be out in 0ne year,that kid needs to come up with the rent.
