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.
