Papa Johns Revives Fan-Favorite Menu to Celebrate Summer

Fans asked, and Papa Johns listened.

After over 500,000 fans begged the fast food chain to re-introduce one of its beloved seasonal summer items, the Cheesy Burger Pizza is back by popular demand.

The good news was announced earlier this week when Papa Johns shared that fans will once again be able to get their hands on this mouthwatering mashup that makes the perfect summer meal.

The famous Cheesy Burger Pizza features Papa Johns' fresh, never frozen, dough topped with a signature burger sauce, generous portions of beef, tomato, dill pickle, and real cheese made from mozzarella. The delicious pie is served, of course, with a cup of the brand’s famous Special Garlic Sauce, plus pepperoncini.

The combo of iconic flavors is also available in the returning Cheesy Burger Papadia and all-new Cheesy Burger Papa Bites. The full lineup is now available for fans nationwide, with the Cheesy Burger Papadia and Papa Bites priced at $6.99 and $4.99, respectively.
