Papa John’s Crust Types & Specialty Sizing
Papa John’s offers several specialized crust preparations that alter how the pizza is portioned:
- Original Hand-Tossed: Available across all four diameters (Small, Medium, Large, XL). Characterized by a pillowy, chewy outer rim made for dipping in garlic sauce.
- Thin Crust: Available exclusively in Large (14″). It is baked extra crispy and cut into square “party cut” slices rather than triangular wedges.
- Epic Stuffed Crust: Available exclusively in Large (14″). Hand-folded dough wrapped around real mozzarella string cheese. While the outer diameter remains 14 inches, the cheese ring takes up approximately 1 inch along the outer perimeter, slightly reducing center topping area.
- Gluten-Free Crust: Available in Small (10″). Made with ancient grains (sorghum, teff, amaranth, quinoa) to avoid gluten cross-contact.
Papa John’s Value Tip: Medium vs. Large
A common ordering question is whether to order two medium pizzas or one large.
- A 14-inch Large has 153.9 square inches.
- A 12-inch Medium has 113.1 square inches.
Moving up just 2 inches from Medium to Large gives you 36% more pizza area. If Papa John’s charges $12.99 for a Medium and $15.99 for a Large, upgrading to Large gives you 36% more food for only 23% more money!
