Toasty Pizza Oven Sandwiches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Papa John’s is Now Offering Oven-Baked Sandwiches

— June 19, 2018 — Lifestyle
Papa John’s is putting its pizza ovens to good use by expanding its menu to include new Oven-Baked Sandwiches. Pilled high with toppings and served on a premium baguette, the new sandwiches give consumers a fun way to switch up pizza night.

Papa John’s new Oven-Baked Sandwiches are a lineup of five toasted sammies, each of which is baked in the pizza oven until crisp. Each of the sandwiches is served on a premium baguette topped with a different combination of classic pizza toppings. Standouts from the new lineup include the Philly Steak Melt Sandwich made with sliced Philly steak, and the BBQ Chicken & Bacon Sandwich slathered in sweet honey chipotle sauce.

Set to roll out nationwide over the new couple of weeks, the new sandwiches demonstrate Papa John’s efforts to start thinking outside the pizza box.
