Burgers or pizza? Papa Johns is saving customers the trouble of deciding between the two with the return of a beloved mashup menu item.
That's right! Papa Johns' fan-favorite Cheesy Burger Pizza is officially back on the menu as of June 10.
The returning pie is a refreshed iteration of the chain's popular Double Cheeseburger Pizza. Papa Johns first introduced the offering in 2014—and it has since developed a huge customer following.
The pizza chain called it its "most requested menu item" in a press release and said that "over 500,000 fans have begged for its return."
Bean's comments seem to take aim at Pizza Hut's brand-new Cheeseburger Melt that launched in mid-May.
The handheld item lacks many classic pizza elements, featuring beef, bacon, onions, mozzarella, and cheddar folded inside a parmesan-crusted thin crust. It's also served with a side of burger sauce.
Meanwhile, Papa Johns' returning Cheesy Burger Pizza features fresh dough topped with a signature burger sauce, beef, tomato, dill pickle, and cheese, served with a cup of Papa Johns' Special Garlic Sauce on the side.
These aren't the only exciting menu launches at Papa Johns in recent weeks. Back in March, the chain introduced a lineup of limited-edition items featuring a new premium pepperoni.
