The Papa Johns Croissant Pizza has been announced by the brand as a new take on the humble pizza that's crafted with the namesake delicate pastry in the spotlight to work well for foodies of all walks to try out.
The pizza starts off with a crispy, light and layered dough for the base that extends to the braided crust that will offer a flaky consistency in every bite. The pizza can be completely customized to the preferences of the consumer with their choice of toppings. The menu item is slated to arrive in nine markets and will make its inaugural debut in the United Arab Emirates.
SVP Managing Director of International Chris Lyn-Sue spoke on the Papa Johns Croissant Pizza saying, "As a brand built on innovation, distinction and quality, we’re always looking to global food culture for inspiration – and turning it into exciting new experiences that stand out. We conducted extensive research to understand what consumers wanted from our next global innovation. Croissant Pizza scored highly across all markets."
