What in the World is Papa John’s Double Cheeseburger Papadia?

A few weeks back, I was excited to try the returning Double Cheeseburger Pizza from Papa John’s. I was approached via email by their marketing team to invite me to try the pizza in advance. They must have seen my glowing review of Domino’s Cheeseburger Pizza.

I turned them down.

I’m all about the authentic experience, so I ordered once it was available to the general public, and it was a bust. I was mostly disappointed by two things. The pickles that were lazily laid on top of the pizza, unlike Papa John’s picture. It had melted cheese on them. Secondly, and most importantly, no burger sauce to be found anywhere. It was not on the pizza and not in the papadia. Even the dipping sauce they sent was garlic and not burger sauce.

The pizza itself tasted just ok, but it is definitely no match for the vastly superior Domino’s Cheeseburger Pizza.

October 19th, 2020 – Papa John’s is bringing back their Double Cheeseburger Pizza and introducing a new Papadia version too. This pizza is now a cult favorite, so it was about time it was back to the menu even if it is for a limited time.

If you’re a Papa Rewards member, I’ve got some great news for you. Select Papa John’s location will allow you to order the Double Cheeseburger Pizza and Double Cheeseburger Papadia from October 19th – October 25th. If you’re not a member, then you should probably become a member so you can be the first one on your block to eat one of these. If you can wait, starting on October 26th, it will be available everywhere.

Since February, Papa John’s has been selling their Italian, Grilled BBQ Chicken & Bacon, Philly Cheesesteak, Meatball Pepperoni Papadias to the hungry lunch crowds.

The Papadia is inspired by the ‘piadina,’ an Italian folded flatbread sandwich from Northern Italy. It combines the original Papa John’s crust people crave along with fresh toppings, making it the best of both worlds – it’s both a pizza and a sandwich.

Sandwiches are my thing, and these Papadias are right up my comfort food alley. The Double Cheeseburger Papadia is a quarter-pound of seasoned beef, and that’s not even counting the pickles, cheese, dough, and signature burger dipping sauce. It looks like the perfect lunch dish or afternoon snack to share with a friend. I’m not into sharing too much, so lunch it is!

Alright guys, I gotta be frank with you. I never tried Papa John’s Double Cheeseburger Pizza when it was around for a limited time in 2015 and 2018. I love the whole dipping sauce aspect of it too. We’re such a sauce obsessed nation that I’m surprised this really hasn’t become more of a thing.
