Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Papa John's three times, with records going back to 2023. The most recent visit was on Sep 30, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The last inspection found four violations, up from three the time before.

When inspectors have written things up, non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
