Review: Papa John's - Double Layered Pepperoni Pizza

Papa John's new Double Layered Pepperoni Pizza offers two layers of different pepperoni: their regular pepperoni on bottom and another layer of premium deli-style pepperoni (wider, more flavorful pepperoni from what I can tell).

It's available for a limited-time at $10 for a 14-inch large pizza.

The premium deli-style pepperoni actually had a seasoned, nuanced flavor but doesn't seem to crisp up very well. You can actually have them cook the pizza longer though; there's a "well-done" option on their website when ordering. The deli-style pepperoni combined very well with Italian seasonings.

With two layers of pepperoni, I thought the pizza would taste too salty but it actually didn't.

The pizza sauce was used rather sparingly but imparted a little sweetness. The cheese kept the pepperoni on the pizza but wasn't particularly flavorful or gooey. I want the cheese to stretch!

The crust was a bit chewy and had a nice thin layer of crispness. I've always liked dipping the end crust into the buttery garlic sauce.

All-in-all, I enjoyed Papa John's Double Layered Pepperoni Pizza. I liked the slight crispness of the crust and the pepperoni flavor without it being too salty.
