Papa Johns ends 2023 with the rollout of its new Cheesy Calzone Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza.

The latest in the Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza line features Papa Johns’ fresh, never frozen, original dough hand-stuffed with a blend of mozzarella and garlic-herb ricotta to create a flavor that tastes like a calzone. It’s served with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. The menu item is available nationwide on Tuesday, December 26, starting at just $14.99 for a one-topping pizza.

A slice has 350 calories, 14 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 910 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.

But if you prefer smaller portions of cheesy calzone-ness, Papa Johns will launch Cheesy Calzone Papa Bites in January with Papa Rewards members getting access to it on January 22 and everyone else being able to purchase it starting on January 29.
