US-based pizza restaurant chain Papa John’s International has introduced its newest offering, the Cheesy Calzone Epic Stuffed Crust pizza.
The calzone-inspired stuffed crust is the latest addition to Papa John’s pizza offerings, complementing the existing choices of pepperoni and garlic varieties.
It becomes part of the menu alongside items like the Crispy Parm Pizza, Doritos Cool Ranch Papadia, and Oreo Cookie Papa Bites.
The Cheesy Calzone Epic Stuffed Crust pizza showcases fresh dough filled with a blend of mozzarella and garlic-herb ricotta, allowing for customizable toppings and an additional side of sauce for dipping.
Papa Johns International senior vice-president of menu strategy and product innovation Kimberly Bean said, “Papa Johns has made a name for itself in the stuffed crust game by continuing to innovate and offer new flavour combinations that deliver on the quality we’re known for.
“We know fans are looking for more indulgent, savoury flavours and deliciously surprising textures, so we can’t wait for them to get a taste of the newest spin on the Epic Stuffed Crust they love.”
Starting December 18, 2023, the latest menu addition will be exclusively accessible to members of the Papa Rewards loyalty program.
On December 26, it will be available nationwide in the United States, with a starting price of $14.99 for a one-topping pizza.
In 2024, Papa John’s is set to unveil a new addition to its menu, the Cheesy Calzone Papa Bites, as a fresh and flavorful side dish.
Loyalty members can access it starting January 22, while it will be available for all customers from January 29.
In August 2023, Papa John’s International introduced its Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust pizza across Canada.
The franchise operates in over 5,800 restaurants spanning 50 countries and territories.
