Papa John's USA, Inc.

Papa John's USA, Inc. operates and franchises approximately 6,000 restaurants across 50 countries and territories, making it the world's third-largest pizza delivery company. Founded in 1984 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the business has grown over four decades from a single storefront into a network with annual revenue of over $2.1 billion and millions of pizzas delivered each year. The company employs thousands of people across corporate offices, distribution centers, and restaurant locations.

Work spans several distinct areas: food manufacturing and preparation, supply chain and distribution, franchise and restaurant operations, and quick-service restaurant delivery. Corporate functions are co-headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and Louisville, Kentucky, while restaurant and distribution roles are spread across the wider network.

The company's stated mission is BETTER INGREDIENTS. BETTER PIZZA.®, with ingredient quality treated as its main differentiator. Its Original dough is fresh and never frozen, made with six ingredients, and its signature sauce uses vine-ripened tomatoes canned the same day they are picked. Papa John's was the first national pizza delivery chain to remove artificial flavors and synthetic colors from its entire food menu.
