Papa John’s is launching two LTOs this week, a Grilled Chicken Margherita Pizza and the Bruschetta Cheesesticks.

The Grilled Chicken Margherita Pizza is baked fresh on a crispy thin crust with both Papa John’s  pizza sauce and basil pesto, topped with grilled, all-white meat chicken and finished with fresh-cut Roma tomatoes covered with mozzarella cheese, according to a company press release.

The Bruschetta Cheesesticks  — available online only for $6 — feature fresh-cut Roma tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and basil pesto sauce. They are oven baked on Papa hand-tossed dough, cut into sticks for sharing and served with pizza sauce for dipping.

"We took our time in creating our two newest menu items – ensuring we captured the classic hallmarks of Italian pizza and bruschetta in every bite, but with a Papa John’s twist," said Bob Kraut, Papa John’s chief marketing officer. "We remixed centuries-old recipes with Papa John’s signature better ingredients, including fan favorites like our basil pesto sauce and thin crust. The secret to both recipes has always been 'less is more' and using better ingredients, two of our biggest strengths."

 Both the Chicken Margherita Pizza and Bruschetta Cheesesticks are extensions of the Papa John’s "Better Ingredients. Better Pizza." initiative and continued commitment to high-quality ingredients, according to the release. In June, Papa John’s declared it will continue to phase out another 14 unwanted ingredients from its menu.
