Pizza Chains Spar Over Slogan Accuracy
Associated Press
Two of the biggest names in pizza are preparing to fight in federal court this week over claims about who makes the better pizza.
Dallas-based Pizza Hut is suing over upstart Papa John’s International Inc.’s slogan--”Better Ingredients, Better Pizza”--saying the motto is deceptive and implies that Pizza Hut uses second-rate ingredients. Louisville, Ky.-based Papa John’s subsequently countersued.
After jury selection Monday, testimony is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Dallas in the first lawsuit.
