The Papa Johns Pan Pizza has been reformulated and reimagined by the brand to give it a more indulgent taste and texture by simply making a few key changes. The pizza starts off with a thick dough that's paired with a Parmesan and Special Garlic Sauce used between the crust and the pizza pan before being baked. The pizza then comes out of the oven with a crispy, caramelized edge that is further differentiated from the rest of the recipe thanks to the pillowy dough.
The Papa Johns Pan Pizza is topped with a six-cheese blend including mozzarella, fontina, provolone, asiago, parmesan and Romano before being finished with a sprinkling of Italian seasoning. The pizza will launch with one topping for $11.99.
