Papa John's new Red Kettle Cookie raises funds for Salvation Army campaign

November 24, 2014

Papa John's has introduced a Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and The Salvation Army Red Kettle Cookie. A portion of the proceeds from each cookie sold during its limited-time availability will go to The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign.

The Philly Cheesesteak Pizza will be available through Dec. 28 for $12. According to a news release, it features garlic sauce and thinly-sliced steak from the Original Philly Cheesesteak Company. Additional toppings include sliced onion and green peppers and mozzarella and provolone.

"We've worked hard to capture those same familiar, savory flavors in this pizza," CMO Bob Kraut said in the release. "If you like pizza and you like cheesesteak, we hope that you will also like this new combination. Papa John's is known for sourcing the very best ingredients available, which is why we decided to use steak directly from the Original Philly Cheesesteak Company to bring the authentic taste of Philly to our pizza. Our new pizza and the Red Kettle Cookie is a winning combination for both the holidays and the community."

The $6 Red Kettle Cookie was created in partnership with The Salvation Army to support its annual Red Kettle Campaign. Papa John's will donate 50 cents per cookie sold, up to $300,000 through Dec. 28.
