The new Butter Chicken Pizza offering is only available in Canada and it will officially launch on May 22, 2023. The delicious new pizza is inspired by butter chicken, or murgh makhani, which is an Indian dish that hails from Delhi. To capture the rich aromatic butter sauce, Papa Johns has created its own velvety, creamy, and sweet sauce and paired it with the brand's never-frozen original dough, [seasoned chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalou-chicken-pizza), crunchy green peppers, and sliced onions. As Kimberly Bean, Papa Johns Canada's Menu Strategy and Calendar Planning Vice-President, explains, "With the Butter Chicken Pizza, we have taken one of Canada’s most-loved foods and given customers the chance to experience the taste in a crave-worthy and exciting new way.” Image Credit: Papa Johns Canada ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **International Fusion Cuisine:** Opportunities to innovate by creating unique and bold flavor combinations using traditional dishes from different cultures. - **Localized Menu Offerings:** Opportunities to create tailor-made menu items for specific regions or countries in order to appeal to local tastes and preferences. - **Innovative Sauces and Seasonings:** Opportunities to experiment and create unique sauces, seasonings, and other flavorings from around the world to add variety and interest to food offerings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fast Food:** Innovation opportunities include adding more diversity to traditional fast food menus to capture new customers and appeal to changing tastes. - **Food Delivery:** Opportunities to leverage localized menu offerings and new and unique flavors to create differentiating factors in an increasingly competitive food delivery industry. - **Food Retail:** Opportunities to create new product lines that experiment with different flavor combinations and incorporate international cuisine trends to diversify product offerings and increase customer engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Indian Cuisine-Inspired Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-johns-tandoori-menu.md) - [Butter Chicken QSR Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-king-butter-chicken.md) - [Crispy Butter Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-chicken-crispy-sandwich.md) - [Delicate Pastry-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pizza.md) - [Buffalo Chicken Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-ranch-chicken-pizza.md) - [Butter Chicken QSR Wraps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-chicken-wrap.md) - [Limited-Edition Vegan BBQ Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bbq-chicken-pizza.md) - [Spicy Pizzeria Poutines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buffalo-popcorn-chicken-poutine.md) - [Hot Sauce-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-harlem-chicken-pizza.md)
