[Papa John's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-bowls-1) was recently spotted testing new Tavern Singles at select locations in Colorado, Louisiana, and North Carolina.

Papa John's new Tavern Singles are essentially an updated version of the to-go slice. These Tavern Singles are [single-serve oval crust pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleserve-pizzas) made from fresh pizza dough, and cut in half for easy on-the-go eating. As far as flavors, the personal pizzas are available in five different varieties. There's a Hot Honey Hawaiian version made with [Canadian bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-johns-aloha-trio), a Garlic Steak and Mushroom variety topped with Philly Steak, and a Chicken Bacon Ranch made with Ranch sauce. Finally, there's a Veggie version and a Tripple Meats version.

The Tavern Singles are currently available at select Papa John's locations.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Single-serve Pizza Trend:** Papa John's introduction of Tavern Singles reflects the growing demand for individual-sized portions in the pizza industry.
- **On-the-go Convenience Trend:** The cut-in-half design of Tavern Singles offers a convenient and mess-free option for consumers to enjoy pizza while on the move.
- **Customizable Pizza Options Trend:** The variety of flavors available with Tavern Singles taps into the trend of customization, allowing consumers to choose their preferred toppings on an individual pizza.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fast Food Industry:** The single-serve pizza trend showcased by Tavern Singles presents an opportunity for fast food chains to cater to consumers' demand for convenience and customization.
- **Snack Food Industry:** The on-the-go convenience offered by Tavern Singles opens up possibilities for the snack food industry to tap into the pizza market with single-serve options.
- **Food Delivery Industry:** The rise of customizable pizza options like Tavern Singles presents an opportunity for food delivery services to offer personalized pizza experiences for consumers.
