COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's time for Papa John's Pizza to make good on its promise to sell a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents in Ohio.
Eighty-six stores in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Youngstown are in on the deal, each prepared to sell more than 900 pies Thursday.
All of the city's 27 restaurants are participating in the promotion that includes only one single-topping pizza per family. It will be carryout only, and there will be no online ordering.
Hours to order are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The Louisville, Ky.-based company agreed to the deal as an apology to Cleveland Cavaliers fans after a franchisee in Washington, D.C., made T-shirts calling star LeBron James a "crybaby."
The shirts referred to James' complaints about hard fouls during a playoff series with the Washington Wizards.
The 23-cent price of a pizza is an homage to James' jersey number
