A couple weeks ago we did a small piece about a job posting on craigslist which presumable announced that a Papa John's would be coming to State and Cermak.We were curious as to where it might be going since there isn't existing space that seemed suitable for Papa John's.
Well according to a comment we recently received a reader found a building permit on Everyblock for a "fast food carryout restaurant" while it doesn't specifically mention Papa John's this location (image above) would make more sense.

"Better" ingredients. "Better" pizza. Papa Johns!
If you live in Chicago and can't find great local pizza to satisfy your craving, I feel sorry for your soul.
I agree with 'Anonymous' above. If I need low-price, mediocre-quality pizza, I'll opt for Sarpinos or Pauly's.
I actually have no problems with Pauly's. I think it's actually a good slice
Everyone loves choices and cheap pizza is better than an abandon store...quite Being such cynics...if something is more profitable than they can steal the lease in the future cry babies! It's called capitalism, look it up!
Please learn to spell and use punctuation properly on this site. I don't care for your mindless blabber.
You call it capitalism, I call it crap pizza. To each their own.
I don't think Papa Johns realizes that they opened across the street from Pizzeria Brandi. Brandi's pizza, let alone the rest of the menu, is by far the best pizza in the Loop and South Loop. I'm suprised Sloopin has never mentioned them at all. Now they are expanding to add the Velvet Lounge as their dining room and bar. I can't wait! www.brandipizza.com is their ws.
This PapaJohns is just a carry-out store and Brandi's has better (deep pan) pizza, patio seating and the fact that they took over Velvet Lounge (it looks they are put some money into it!) Papa Johns could have opened anywhere as people are just calling in for pizza - it will have no effect on Brandi's.
This Papa John's store delivered one day to our house, then stopped. We are at 18th and Calumet, and they said that our street isn't in their computer system, so they can't deliver to us!!! How crazy is that!
