People often feel guilty about wanting or needing to duck out of an event early, but Papa Johns is making it easier to apologize by offering a universally loved comfort food—pizza—with the Dip Out with the Papa Dippa as a warm, heartfelt peace offering. The Papa Dippa is a pizza designed exclusively for dipping, and it taps into fans' love of sauces. Made for dunking in sauces, the Papa Dippa is cut into sixteen strips that can be enhanced with favorites like Roasted Garlic Parmesan, Creamy Garlic Pesto or Garlic Hot Honey.
For a limited time from September through October 9th, fans of super saucy pizza are invited to select the new Papa Dippa on the Uber Eats app and send the menu item as a gift.
