What’s Next for Papa John’s?
With Rob Lynch as Papa John’s CEO, the company has focused on competition. Other brands have expanded their menu and come up with all sorts of gimmicks to bring in customers. Over the past year, Papa John’s has blown them out of the water with innovations to its menu that are interesting, delicious and still quintessentially Papa John’s. Loyal customers are eager to see what will happen next, while new fans are excited to join the family.
Papa John’s New CEO Launching the First Ever Crust Innovation
There’s no doubt that Papa John’s pizza dough is delicious. It’s crispy, flavorful and pairs well with the sweet tomato sauce and salty cheese. For a long time, this taste was enough.
However, many other pizza places have changed their recipe or added a special something to their dough. For the first time, Papa John’s is jumping on this bandwagon. The crust is the same delicious recipe you’ve grown to love, but now you can add something extra: cheese.
How Papa Johns CEO Plans To Compete With Domino’s
Domino’s is a big competitor for Papa John’s. Several years ago, the rival changed its crust, menu and promotions to bring in new customers. Now Papa John’s has taken up the challenge with its own innovations.
So, what changes has Papa John’s owner made to even the score? There are several: new sides, new crust and a familiar face.
New Sides
Papa John’s has several sides you can enjoy with your pizza:
- Jalapeño Popper Rolls
- Cheesesticks
- Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks
- Garlic Knots
- Original Breadsticks
You can also get wings in a range of flavors:

- Unsauced
Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza
Do you love mozzarella sticks? Are you someone who always orders extra cheese? If you just can’t get enough of melty, cheesy goodness, then the Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza is for you.
This new crust is available with all types of toppings so that you can customize your extra cheese experience. When you pull a slice from the pie, you’ll get strings of mozzarella oozing from the crust.
Technological Innovation
Online ordering exploded last year, and Papa John’s was perfectly poised to deliver. Online and mobile ordering is effortless, and the Papa Rewards program members can put points toward free items. As a result, people looking for pizza quickly fell in love with Papa John’s efficient ordering system. In fact, the majority of orders now come from online.
Star Power
Did you know that Shaquille O’Neal is on Papa John’s board of directors? He’s even created a special pizza called the Shaq-a-Roni. It’s extra-large, extra cheesy and extra packed with pepperoni. Even better, it gives back to the community.
The Papa John’s Foundation for Building Community receives a dollar from every purchase of this massive pizza. That means you can support those in need while enjoying one of the best pizzas around.
Papa John’s new CEO may be changing the menu, but the company remains committed to its old values of quality ingredients and customer satisfaction. Whether you’re craving pizza, wings or a Papadia, you’re sure to find the mouth-watering solution at Papa John’s.
