    I've never seen one that you can eat in, they're all take away's AFAIK. The only sit-down pizzeria's I'm aware of are Pizza hut and Pizza express.

    Still can't get the code to work online though.

    Edit: I've just noticed that on the site they say "Telegraph offer is temporarily unavailable online"

    then the mens tops i bought buy 2 get £ 4 off = £11.30
    then used news of world coupon £ 5 and £ 5 sun = £21.30 off
    total for clothing = £ 15.20 pleased and no problems apart from other voucher from sun not working or even recognised on scanner (I know i did not reach required amount but till did not even acknowledge it. was going to see if you could use both vouchers without required spend).


    did someone have to come and check your vouchers?

    No one checked any vouchers they just blew into the slot as 1 voucher didnt register

    Just rang my local Papa John's, they know nothing about this and refused to give me the offer!

    Edit: Rang a second local branch, the guy sort of sounded like he vaugely aware of it. Obviously he asked me if I wanted anything else etc. Then he asked about the delivery and I mentioned the £1 charge and he said I could have a topping instead so I asked for bacon and he said he'd charge me 85p, so I saved 25p and got a better Pizza.

    Any idea exactly what pizza you're getting ?

    It's just that I've looked online at the PJ nearest to me, the menu available and the offer as posted ......

    In yesterday's newspaper forum, MSE Jenny mentioned that today's Telegraph would have a voucher for a free pizza at Papa John's.

    Has anyone had a chance to check to see if it is there?

    Although Martin's cheap restaurant deals suggest that this will be printed in tomorrow's paper, not today's:

    Free Papa John's Pizza worth £7.99 - The Telegraph - Newspaper based voucher

    Get a copy of The Telegraph tomorrow (22 November for 80p) and in it you'll find a cut out voucher for a free small cheese and tomato pizza from Papa John's worth £7.99. You'll have to pay extra if you'd like additional toppings and you'll also have to pay for delivery. Still, not a bad saving for the price of an 80p paper. Find your nearest Papa John's store.

    Just cut out your voucher and use it before 30 November 08 to get your free pizza.

    The menu I've just looked at has ....

    Cheese & Tomato Pizza

    SMALL - £4.99
    MEDIUM - £7.49

    Neither of which matches the offer !

    Small is £3 too cheap - Medium is closer but still 50p short and obviously isn't "SMALL"

    Next size up is "Extra Large" at £8.99

    There are some "SMALL" at £7.99 but these are NOT "Cheese & Tomato"

    No wonder they're having problems and have withdrawn the online offer !

    I got a small cheese and Tomato (with bacon in the end). My guess is you've got an extraordinarily cheap price for the same thing that costs £8 in other places. If you want to check look your local branches menu up on the website and then compare it to another one at random

    Did shop tonight at Tescos, and spent well over the £40 - as I wanted to make sure it didn't drop too low with all the discounts etc.
    Anyway, till happily accepted £10off from todays Sun, and £5 off from NOTW
    This was self scan, and didn't need sa to authorise or anything

    But driving home I am kicking myself for not trying both of todays coupons plus the notw one. I mean I presume that both of todays ones are not supposed to work together......but with Tescos, you never know :confused:

    They don't work together if you are in South East London- I tried, my friends tried, its one voucher at a time, and only if its £40 on clothes or toys for the first and £25 plus for the £5 voucher.

    :mad: :mad: :mad: Am sooo annoyed that everyone else bar me can use them together, it just does not work for me, the customer services desk were not having any of it either:mad: :mad: :mad:
