Thanks to reader Raj in Norman, OK, we have learned that Papa John’s is currently testing Papadias, which are Italian flatbread-style sandwiches. There are four set varieties available for $6 each: Philly Steak, Meatball Pepperoni, Grilled BBQ Chicken & Bacon, and Italian. Customers can also create their own.
Philly Steak features sliced Philly steak, fresh-cut onions, green peppers, mozzarella, and Papa’s Philly sauce. It’s served with a garlic sauce dipping cup. It has 850 calories, 39 grams of fat, 16 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 95 milligrams of cholesterol, 2180 milligrams of sodium, 81 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 40 grams of protein.
The Meatball Pepperoni comes with spicy meatballs, pepperoni, pizza sauce, mozzarella, and classic Italian seasoning with a side of pizza sauce for dipping. It has 950 calories, 50 grams of fat, 21 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 140 milligrams of cholesterol, 2460 milligrams of sodium, 81 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 42 grams of protein.
The Grilled BBQ Chicken & Bacon one has grilled chicken, bacon, fresh-cut onions, mozzarella, and a sweet and smoky BBQ sauce. It also comes with a BBQ dipping cup.

Man, those look and sound tasty. Ship it!
I had a Papadia custom made with cheese, Canadian bacon & pineapple. I ate the whole sandwich. It was so good. It was still hot and one of the best things I have eaten in a while. I will order this again, maybe with some more veggies.
Advertised in Austin, TX all this week. I’ll be trying one soon.
They are selling at the PJ site in Helotes TX near Bandera and 1604 – was too late for lunch and too early for supper so haven’t tried – yet.
They have them here in coastal NC. Haven’t tried them just yet but I will this weekend. They look and sound amazing!
If you could send three of these to the White House weed illuminate a Trump problem.
Don’t be fooled by the ad on television as I was… This was a the worst excuse for a steak sandwich I have ever had in my life. if you could even call it a steak anything??? I was looking for ll that juicy meat shown in the ad, it wan’t there?! This was the closest thing to nothing except for onions and burnt bread that I’ve ever had the misfortune to have bought and tried to eat. So Sad…. there has to be a good steak sandwich somewhere but it isn’t at papa johns….
I TOTALLY agree! There might have been 4 or 5 tiny strips of beef. It was more like a quesadilla, NOTHING like the picture in the ad. So disappointed! 🙁
I just had a philly cheesesteak and it was terrible.
hardly any filling, no sauce, and no good taste
needless to say I will NEVER buy another
We had Philly Cheese steak and it was outstanding!!! We are about to order again. I guess it was your Papa John’s. Try another store, it’s worth it!!!
Based on the comments above, I’ll pass.
