Personal interests and quirks
She is unashamedly crazy about Papa John’s pizza. She considers it something to be guilty about. It’s distinctive even for the plethora of gourmet pizza joints popping up all around Los Angeles. Her deep passion for this specific type of pizza always comes through in funny and very relatable situations.
In a recent Talkhouse conversation with Angel Olsen, Sudan Archives described an intense desire for Papa John’s. No matter the luxury pizza options available in LA, she sticks to her guns. “I love Papa John’s pizza so much. I’ve been craving Papa John’s ever since I got my period,” she said. She described how certain life events make her crave the feel-good fare from the chain.
The artist’s relationship to Papa John’s goes beyond just liking pizza, it has seeped into her daily life. After one such photoshoot, she explained that the people around her understand that they are all going to be ordering Papa John’s that day. Her choice every time reflects the profound appreciation she has for the pizza-eating experience. Beyond just proving her commitment, this dedication helps cement pizza’s unique position in her life.
In addition to her culinary creations, Sudan Archives opened up about her perspective on pop culture and social norms. “That pop culture is stupid in general. Who gives a fuck about what other people are doing?” Her independent spirit is best embodied by this famous quote. She advocates for authenticity, even when she’s indulging in something as ubiquitous as the pizza from Papa John’s.
In a city where “bougie” pizza is king, Sudan Archives makes no apologies for loving the square. This passion for Papa John’s runs much deeper than just a hankering. It’s an homage to her extreme love of high-quality comfort food, and it ties into her personal journey.
