Papa John\u2019s has been busy lately with a bunch of new offerings, including the Triple Bacon<\/a>, Shaq-a-Roni<\/a>, and Epic Stuffed Crust<\/a> pizzas, all of which earned generally positive reviews from my esteemed colleagues of culinary critique. Now comes the NY Style Pizza, which launched nationwide on December 27 and will be available through March 13, 2022.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure this will shock you to your core, but no, Papa John\u2019s did not successfully replicate true New York-style pizza. Yes, these are foldable and (somewhat) oversized as Papa John\u2019s advertises, and I\u2019m going to give it the benefit of the doubt that it is also hand-stretched as the website claims, even though I was not there to witness that. But if you tried serving this at a pizzeria in New York City, then a brouhaha, fracas and\/or kerfuffle would probably ensue. Perhaps even all three.<\/p>\n Usually, my main qualification to do a review on this site is simply that I have a functioning mouth, but in this case, I do bring some pizza credentials. I grew up in New York (actually New Jersey, but we decided long ago as a state that it\u2019s better to just say New York), so I\u2019ve had my share of authentic New York pizza. And now, as a resident of Texas, I\u2019m used to be being both disappointed and amused when I try New York pizza around here. Truthfully, some local joints come reasonably close, and maybe even closer than I give them credit, but I do deduct authenticity points when someone says, \u201cHere\u2019s y\u2019alls pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n With that said, this isn\u2019t bad \u2014 it is still pizza after all \u2014 and it\u2019s a bit better than I thought it would be, especially considering it\u2019s made using the standard Papa John\u2019s crust, sauce, and cheese. To me, the two things that define New York pizza are the crust being both chewy and crispy with a few of those big air bubbles and the cheese having some stretch and snap along with an unhealthy amount of grease\/oil.<\/p>\n Papa John\u2019s fared well on the first requirement, and I think they probably did as well as they could using their regular crust, which I\u2019ve always found to be a little too thick and chewy. This pizza fixed both of those issues, and it comes close to the overall thinness of New York pizza. The outer crust doesn\u2019t quite hit the mark as far as the right balance of crisp and chewy, but it did contain a few modest-size air bubbles and faintly reminded me of New York crust.<\/p>\n The shortcoming here is the standard Papa John\u2019s cheese, which has very little of the stretchiness, snap, or general oiliness you might get with a New York pizza. The toppings (I went with pepperoni) were plentiful, so bonus points for that, and even though the slices were a little smaller than most New York pizza I\u2019ve had, they did fold quite well.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t expect to get anything close to real New York-style pizza when I ordered this \u2014 and I didn\u2019t \u2014 but if you temper your expectations based on what a big chain can deliver using its standard ingredients, and you don\u2019t have many other options in your area, then this is a serviceable pie.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $13 with one topping Papa John\u2019s has been busy lately with a bunch of new offerings, including the Triple Bacon, Shaq-a-Roni, and Epic Stuffed Crust pizzas, all of which earned generally positive reviews from my esteemed colleagues of culinary critique.
