Papa John's founder John Schnatter ate 40 pizzas in 30 days and says it's gotten worse
By Allen Kim, CNN

(CNN) Cheaper ingredients. Worse pizza?

Papa John's founder and former CEO John Schnatter gave his first major interview since being ousted from the company, and it's safe to say he's not happy with the way things went down.

Schnatter, 58, gave the wide-ranging interview with Kentucky TV station WDRB where he criticized the pizza chain for everything from the quality of the pizza to its upper management.

"I've had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days, and it's not the same pizza," Schnatter said of the company.

"It's not the same product. It just doesn't taste as good. The way they're making the pizza is just not fundamental to what makes a Papa John's pizza."

"This is all a farce"
Schnatter said in the interview that he was set up, calling the controversy that led to his resignation a "farce."

"I never dreamed that people that I cared about, that I loved, that I made multimillionaires, would do what they did," Schnatter said.

"I just didn't know it would happen from people on the inside doing this. I thought it would come from the outside." Schnatter said he believes that the company's board of directors "used the black community and race as a way to steal the company."

Papa John's did not immediately respond to a request from CNN.

A day of reckoning
Schnatter, who founded the company in 1984, believes it is now being mismanaged. He has sold most of his stock in the company and is no longer the largest individual shareholder.

"My metaphor is: There's no reason to be in the car when the car crashes even if you love the car," Schnatter said.

While he said that he currently has no interest in returning to the company, he believes that he would be welcomed back with open arms.

"If the management team was out, and I went back in, they'd be cheering," he said. "They'd be doing back flips. They'd be bouncing off the walls."

While Schnatter declined to reveal any more details, he had an ominous warning: "Stay tuned. The day of reckoning will come. The record will be straight."

Ouster from Papa John's

The backlash that led to Schnatter leaving the company began when he blamed declining sales on the NFL's handling of player protests during an analyst call in late 2017. Papa John's was the official pizza sponsor of the NFL at the time.

A white supremacist website named Papa John's the official pizza of the alt-right a day later.

Months after that, Schnatter was heard using a racial slur in audio from an internal diversity training meeting. It was taped in secret and leaked to Forbes.

Schnatter stepped down as CEO shortly after that audio leaked.

CNN's Tanika Gray and Chauncey Alcorn contributed to this story.

Schnatter ate 40 Papa John’s pizzas in 30 days and tries to justify saying friend of the family poorly so are we so sure that he isn’t a goon?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Papa John should start his own competing pizza company and call it "Daddy Schnatter's" and get that sweet, sweet XFL endorsement deal.

I can't imagine a more fun afternoon than scarfing down a big doughy greaseball and watching some XFL. Maybe if we can bring back Surge we can also get that in the mix.

I wonder what cocktail of prescription drugs it took to get him that delusional, animated and sweaty? Maybe speed, since if I ate 40 poo poo-tier pizzas in 30 days I'd look like Jabba the Hut. Hopefully there's some opiates in the mix so he can die straining on the can like Elvis.

Wasn't expecting the Suth'n accent. By looks alone (plus the pizza connection) I always assumed he'd be a Ey! Big-time Italian American ova heah! kinda guy.

I imagine he probably meant that he sampled 40 pizzas (from different Papa John's locations) to be able to justify saying he had a body of evidence that quality went downhill after he was ousted, OP.

I'm gonna say something lovely about Papa John's pizza but I don't have one by my house so I can't remember ever trying it. The best pizza is a small place that only has one location that none of you uncultured plebs have ever heard of so I won't even bother telling you where it is!!!

That's just to prevent you from using the highly-developed trade secrets you learn of using a car to drive a sandwich around for the benefit of a competitor. Perfectly normal.

I can't remember who made the thread, but somebody made a joke about how Papa John was hospitalized for a suicide attempt, and when asked why he did it he just replied, 'My life is in pizzas.'

Like, whoever made that thread and joke, please reveal yourself because I use that joke everywhere. This joke has cost me several friendships and a relationship.
