With their small size, I kind of liken these Papa Bites to be the sliders of the three.<\/p>\n<p>These limited-time-only savory noms feature beef, bacon bits, dill pickles, burger sauce, and cheese rolled up with the chain\u2019s fresh, never-frozen original dough to create eight bites. They\u2019re also served with a side of burger sauce for dipping. Besides presentation, another significant difference between these Papa Bites and the other two burger-flavored offerings is that these are the only ones that come with bacon bits by default.

The only ingredient that was more potent was the pickle. Most pieces had one slice, and its tangy taste did a lot to convince me this was burger-flavored. The cheese, which looks like a combination of cheddar and mozzarella, added a mild cheesiness, but not one that I\u2019d associate with burgers. I guess I\u2019ve eaten too many processed cheese product slices on my fast food sandwiches. But for the most part its flavors did remind me of a burger.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pjbaconcheburgerbits3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-62989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pjbaconcheburgerbits3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pjbaconcheburgerbits3.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pjbaconcheburgerbits3.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pjbaconcheburgerbits3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The orange sauce added a pleasant tanginess to everything. But I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s necessary to dip the bites in it because a little bit of the sauce was added when they were being made. So, if you happen to not get a container or someone accidentally spills yours, all is not lost. However, having a copious amount of it on each piece makes everything a bit tastier.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one issue I had with my order, it is that the end pieces ended up being almost all dough, but thankfully, I still had some sauce left to make those a little more tolerable. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t recall eating the pizza or the Papadia versions (although others here have reviewed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/02\/12\/papa-johns-papadias-review\/#Double_Cheeseburger\">them<\/a>), but after eating these Papa Bites, I think Papa Johns does a better job of nailing down the flavors of a cheeseburger better than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/05\/23\/pizza-hut-cheeseburger-melt-review\/\">Pizza Hut\u2019s Cheeseburger Melt<\/a> I sampled several weeks ago.
