Papa John’s NEW Pan Pizza

Papa John’s Better Pan Pizza delivers the tastes you are accustomed to in a tasty and crunchy on the edge but soft elsewhere pan crust.

This week Papa Johns Pizza brings back their pan pizza.  They say it is better than the pan pizza they used to sell.  I decided to try it out and was pleased with it, although I must admit that I prefer thin crust pizzas.

I made my order via the Papa John’s website and then drove to a store near me to pick it up about 25 minutes later.  They were busy because it was lunch time.

I took it home and once there began to enjoy a couple of slices for my lunch.  I noticed that the toppings, cheese, and sauce pretty much tasted the same as what I remembered Papa John’s Pizza tasting like.  I have my favorites which are typically Mom and Pop kind of local pizza places, but I’m not a pizza snob and will often order and eat pizza from a national chain.  I try to limit myself to one pizza a week for dietary reasons.

I ordered this Papa John’s Better Pan Pizza with pepperoni, beef, onions, and their 3 cheese blend.  The pan crust was crispy at the outer edges but still soft elsewhere like it should be.  It was not as saturated with oil as a Pizza Hut Pan crust typically is.  I wouldn’t say it was among the thickest pan pizzas I have ever had, but for me this isn’t a problem.  If you like Papa John’s Pizza and pan crusts, I think you are going to like this better than before pan pizza.
