Inspired by the piadina, a Northern Italy flatbread sandwich, these were tested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/07\/18\/fast-food-news-papa-johns-papadias\/\">back in July<\/a> and clearly did well enough to be launched nationwide. Thank you, test markets!<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised to see ALL four varieties (Italian, Philly Cheesesteak, Grilled BBQ Chicken &#038; Bacon, Meatball Pepperoni) made it through, but I\u2019m making an educated guess the Philly Cheesesteak was the crowd favorite because it\u2019s the hero image on all posters, website, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to cut right to the chase; these part pizza, part sandwich phenoms are legit! I have eaten many a Subway flatbread sandwiches and it simply can\u2019t compare to flatbread created with Papa John\u2019s fresh, never frozen dough that has a fantastic springiness to it.<\/p>\n<p>I can see why this portable form would work well for lunch. Thanks to the uniform fold-over, it was really easy to hold and didn\u2019t come undone. There was no chance of me accidentally eating more of the top than the bottom and making a mess. Additionally, there wasn\u2019t much oil residue on my fingers \u2013 just the tolerable, manageable dustiness that comes with eating pizza.<\/p>\n<p>I was also very impressed by the amount of food for $6 each.

Served with a zesty burger dipping sauce.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been really into cheeseburger pizzas lately. Why you ask? My response: WHY NOT?  <\/p>\n<p>Papa John\u2019s new Double Cheeseburger Papadia isn\u2019t helping my cause either. It launched with the reintroduction of its seasonal Double Cheeseburger pizza offering. Both are only around through December 27th! <\/p>\n<p>I was really intrigued by Papa John\u2019s take because of the pickles &#8212; not all cheeseburger pizzas include this polarizing brined fruit. So, if you like pickles, you\u2019ll probably enjoy this because it\u2019s pretty pickle-forward tasting. <\/p>\n<p>It may be less pickle-y for you if your Papa John\u2019s doesn\u2019t skimp on the carne though. It claims that it\u2019s the meatiest Papadia ever, but the quarter pound of ground beef was drowned by the creamy burger sauce (which is just basically thousand island dressing methinks) and slices of pickle. The Italian one was way more meaty tasting. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Double-Cheeseburger-Papadia-Innards.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I did enjoy that there was no tomato included as the pizza version of this does. Hot take: tomato chunks or slices don\u2019t belong on a cheeseburger pizza or any legit cheeseburger for that matter.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, because there was so much sauce already, I didn\u2019t even touch the additional cup provided. I\u2019d rather have the garlic butter, please. <\/p>\n<p>So, I tried it again &#8211; this time as prescribed above with double meat (with no upcharge on the app!) and garlic butter on the side instead. The adjustments brought it very close to dethroning my top flavor, Meatball Pepperoni, but not quite! Plus, it\u2019s only available for a limited time, so I\u2019m sticking with my tried and true. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 1000 calories, 57 grams of fat, 24 grams of saturated fat, 3 gram of trans fat, 130 milligrams of cholesterol, 3190 milligrams of sodium, 78 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 42 grams of protein<\/p>\n<p><h3 id=\"Grilled_Buffalo_Chicken\">Grilled Buffalo Chicken<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Papa John&#039;s Grilled Buffalo Chicken Papadia\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-45050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Papa-Johns-Grilled-Buffalo-Chicken-Papadia.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>(Added 9\/21\/20)<\/p>\n<p><em>Grilled chicken, onions, signature cheese, and three-cheese blend, buttermilk ranch buffalo sauce.

But obviously, there&#8217;s no pepperoni. <\/p>\n<p>The cheese was the dominant flavor. The cheese blend and ranch reminded me of alfredo sauce, which is tasty but a far cry from saucy wings.
