See Papa Johns new pizza bowls: Just toppings, no crust

[demmiblue]

...

To get people excited about pizza again, Papa Johns is offering a new spin on the classic, with Papa Bowls that are all topping — no crust.

The Papa Bowl comes in three varieties, Garden Veggie, Chicken Alfredo and Italian Meats Trio. They are available to the company's loyalty members this week and will roll out nationally next, and cost $7.99.

At first, Papa Johns thought the bowls might be well received as a healthier alternative to pizza. But the company learned people still want "the indulgence of pizza," Rodriguez said.

Papa Johns hopes the new item will eliminate the "veto vote," when an eatery gets ruled out because it doesn't have enough options for everyone in the dining party. The idea is that if one person doesn't want pizza, the group can still go to Papa Johns and that person will still find something to eat.

2. Papa Johns the Klan's pizza.

3. This actually

might taste pretty good. We always get thin crust (although not from Papa Johns).

4. We get Papa Johns periodically, but we are getting tired of Pizza. We do have Chinese where we

could have delivered (or pick up), but the choices are getting tiresome (places to order food from).

8. Eat at home?

I much prefer home cooked food.

9. We do eat at home, I do enjoy cooking and eating home food too, I think everybody does, but

sometimes everyone needs a break, eh?

5. At least they skipped the cigarette butts - which KFC kept in their bowls.

Jim Gaffigan joke about KFC bowls.

6. Papa Murphy's by me has crustless pizza

Makes absolutely no sense to me. It's like noodleless spaghetti, or brothless soup.

7. F*ck Papa John's

Their owner is a gazillionaire who treats his employees like sh*t, and is a huge Republican donor.

10. It would make more sense if they baked them in metal pans,

and let the cheese make its own crust. That way, it would be more like an actual pizza, rather than a lumpy plate of goo.

11. Subway bowls are pretty good.
