Pizza chain Papa John’s has been accused of failing to “fully realising the seriousness of the situation we find ourselves in” after it advertised its Pizza in the Park delivery service.
This week, households across the nation have received leaflets through their doors advertising the service.
“Pizza in the park? No probs,” the leaflet reads.
“We’ll bring the flavour to you,” it added.
The leaflet directed Papa John’s fans to the Delivery Spots page on its website.

And, while the pizza chain has since Tweeted that the leaflets were “sent out before life as we know it changed”, Papa John’s has been branded irresponsible for not stopping the distribution.
“Hey @PapaJohnsUK, your latest flyer just landed on our doormat. Great to see you fully realising the seriousness of the situation we find ourselves in and are looking to help by offering to deliver pizza to groups in local parks. Staggering!!!” one Brit tweeted.
Another added: “Awkward bit of advertising from @PapaJohnsUK during this #coronavirus pandemic.”
A third tweeted: “Appreciate these things take a long time to get out (this arrived today), but not v helpful considering so many people were out flouting the rules this weekend.”
“Didn’t get the memo”
Another raged: “’”
