CLEVELAND (AP) - 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 on Thursday.

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.

All Papa John’s locations in the Cleveland area, Columbus, Toledo and Youngstown will offer the discount pies today from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Here are the restrictions:
One single-topping pizza per person
Extra toppings are $1.60 apiece
Carry-out only
No Internet orders, though phone calls are fine
