Papa Johns is turning up the flavour with its latest menu addition: Cheddar Crust Pizza — a golden, cheesy twist on the classic crust fans already love. This new crust features a savoury blend of cheddar cheese and garlic seasoning baked directly onto Papa Johns’ fresh, never frozen dough, creating a melty, golden finish that’s big on flavour and delivers the perfect cheesy bite. Papa Johns is always finding new ways to elevate the pizza experience — and this time, cheddar is the star. A beloved, iconic flavour, cheddar adds a bold new dimension to the classic Papa Johns crust. The new Cheddar Crust Pizza is a little indulgent, a lot delicious, and unmistakably Papa Johns. “Cheddar is a classic for a reason — it’s creamy, melty, and packed with flavour,” says Mark Gabrovic, Vice President of Culinary Innovation at Papa Johns. “We took that familiar favourite and baked it right onto the crust with our custom garlic seasoning. It’s a welcome addition that makes every bite even better.” The Cheddar Crust Pizza will be available across Canada starting June 2nd for $17.99. Each order comes with Papa Johns’ iconic Special Garlic Sauce and a pepperoncini. Fans can choose their favourite topping to complete this cheesy 1-topping experience. Also joining the lineup: Cheddar Cheesesticks. Baked with a savoury cheddar twist and served with pizza sauce for dipping, they’re a melty, shareable side that brings even more cheese to the table.
