Beginning today, Papa Johns Canada is introducing its highly anticipated Pan Pizza, the company said in a news release.

"Consumers shouldn't have to settle for 'good enough,'" Shivram Vaideeswaran, senior vice president of brand marketing at Papa Johns, said in the press release. "We didn't bring Pan Pizza back to simply participate in the category; we rebuilt it from the pan up to raise the standard. This isn't just another launch, it's our statement that great pizza matters, and our new Pan Pizza proves it from the very first bite."

With Parmesan and Romano cheeses and Papa Johns Special Garlic Sauce baked directly into the bottom of the crust and finished with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, Papa Johns' Pan Pizza delivers a signature golden finish and crispy crunch.

"There's something about pan pizza that people get excited about," Scott Lewis, general manager, International Markets — Canada, at Papa Johns, added in the press release. "We're proud to add Pan Pizza to our menu and can't wait for Canadians to try our take on this classic."
