Papa Johns has launched a redesigned Pan Pizza, featuring edge-to-edge toppings, a blend of six cheeses, and a crispy garlic parmesan crust. The new version, available starting Thursday, January 29, aims to enhance the traditional pan pizza experience with a focus on texture and flavor.
The updated Pan Pizza combines a fluffy, thick crust with an airy interior, parmesan cheese and special garlic sauce baked into the bottom for a golden, caramelized finish, and a six-cheese blend including mozzarella, provolone, fontina, asiago, parmesan, and romano. It is designed to support up to seven toppings and is finished with a dusting of Italian seasoning. The recipe contains no artificial colors or flavors.
Jenna Bromberg, Chief Marketing Officer at Papa Johns, noted that the company took a consumer-driven approach to develop the recipe, aiming to meet higher expectations for flavor and value in a competitive pan pizza market. Shivram Vaideeswaran, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing, emphasized that the product was rebuilt to set a new standard rather than simply re-enter the category.
The Pan Pizza will be available nationwide at participating Papa Johns locations starting at $11.99 for a medium one-topping pizza. Customers can order through the Papa Johns website or mobile app.
Papa Johns International, Inc., founded in 1984, focuses on using high-quality ingredients, including fresh dough made from six ingredients, real mozzarella cheese, vine-ripened tomato sauce, and meat without fillers. The company was the first national pizza delivery chain to remove artificial flavors and synthetic colors from its menu. Papa Johns operates approximately 6,000 restaurants across about 50 countries and territories, with co-headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and Louisville, Kentucky.
