Figaro's Adds Buffalo Pepperoni to Its Menu
Salem, Ore. - Figaro's Pizza announced the addition of buffalo pepperoni to its already long list of pizza toppings. This gourmet topping will be available at Figaro's locations in Oregon and Washington through July 31 when customers can take advantage of special promotional pricing.

Papa John's Add $1 Delivery Fee

Papa John's company-owned stores have added a one-dollar delivery fee, a report in The Louisville Courier-Journal said.

The charge went into effect on Monday. The company said the charge is to compensate for rising costs namely gasoline and labor, the report said.

"We're kind of third to the market with delivery fees," said Papa John's spokesman Chris Sternberg. "We've tried to hold off putting a delivery fee in place for as long as we can, but for us to continue to give our customers a quality pizza at a competitive price, a delivery fee has become necessary."

Papa John's 430 company-owned stores are applying the fee, Sternberg said. There were already about 40 company stores charging for delivery, mostly where franchisees had started the charge, the report said. Read More
