Papa John's Menu Keeps Getting 'Better' with New Papa's Wings
Papa's Wings are meaty, juicy and available in two great tasting and distinctly different flavors - Spicy Buffalo and Mild Chipotle Barbeque. The new chicken wings are available in orders of ten and are served with one of Papa John's signature dipping sauces, Blue Cheese, Ranch or Buffalo for extra hot wings.
"We're listening to our customers and they want our Papa's Wings," said John Schnatter, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Papa John's International. "We're delivering another quality product to our consumers by offering a better side item to complement our better pizza."
Papa John's pizzas, including The Works, Garden Fresh or Barbeque Chicken and Bacon, and Papa's Wings are the perfect combination for any meal. Whether you are tailgating at a football game, gathering around the television at home or getting together for a holiday celebration, Papa John's provides many options for creating a better meal delivered fresh and hot to your door.
The company's newest television advertising features customers enjoying Papa's Wings in a variety of settings. The advertising spot reminds you that "It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that (Papa John's) wing!" Local television and dedicated print media also begin today.
Papa John's also offers customers purchasing any large pizza at regular menu price from participating Papa John's restaurants in November its value-added DVD promotion with two new titles featuring the action-packed "Jackie Chan's First Strike" and the holiday cartoon "Frosty Returns."
