Papa Johns is ushering in the new summer season with the debut of new Bacon Cheesy Burger Papa Bites and the return of the brand's fan-favorite Cheesy Burger Pizza.
Perfect for barbeque season, both of these new offerings call to mind the delicious taste of a fresh-off-the-grill burger. The new Bacon Cheesy Burger Papa Bites consist of a savory blend of beef and bacon, plus dill pickles, burger sauce, and cheese, all rolled up in pillowy pockets of Papa Johns' signature fresh, never-frozen pizza dough. Similar to the new bites, the returning Cheesy Burger Pizza "comes loaded with sizzlin' beef, diced tomatoes, dill pickles, gooey cheese and burger sauce."
If you want to hit the cheeseburger trifecta, Papa Johns will also be serving up a Cheesy Burger Papadia.
