Review: Papa John's - Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Pizza

I decided to get something like an Italian beef pizza from Papa John's so I ordered a large original crust with sausage, green peppers, and onions for $10.

The crust was pretty bready and not very crusty. There's a nice bit of end crust for dipping into the provided buttery garlic sauce though. The cheese coverage was pretty good, but is never going to ooze like a good low-moisture whole milk mozzarella. The sauce was portioned judiciously.

Papa John's regular sausage is described as "made from 100% real pork with mild seasonings." It is really plain and kinda flavorless... No good for my attempt at an Italian beef pizza. They also offer a spicy Italian sausage. I probably should have went with that.

Basically, with such flavorless sausage, it was mostly like eating a green bell pepper and onion pizza, which is not so great. Consider this a failed pizza topping combination.

Papa John's really needs a better sausage for their pizzas.
