Papa Johns introduces a "reimagined" Pan Pizza starting Thursday, January 29, 2026. The new version features "crispy caramelized edges, a pillowy, airy center, and an indulgent six-cheese blend." Specifically, the updated Pan Pizza features a thick, fluffy crust with Parmesan and Special Garlic Sauce baked between the crust and pan for a caramelized finish and crispy crunch. The six-cheese blend includes cheese made from Mozzarella, Provolone, Fontina, Asiago, Parmesan, and Romano. The pizza is finished with a dusting of Italian seasonings. At launch, Papa Johns will be offering medium 1-topping Pan Pizza for $11.99, at participating locations nationwide. The chain's previous Pan Pizza (you can find my review of that version here) was discontinued in 2019. Photo via Papa Johns. Read more at Brand Eating!  ( 15 min )
