The chains either side of Papa John's, of 11 ranked. Higher NRF9.3 is better: nine nutrients to encourage against three to limit, per 100 calories. A chain scored on few items is easy to flatter, so the meal count is on every row.
There is no price column. Store-level prices are proven for Taco Bell and not yet for the other chains, so a price ranking here would be one measured row and twelve guesses. It goes in when the data does.
