LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Papa John's International, Inc.

Topped with a flavorful blend of four meats - Italian salami, pepperoni, sliced Linguica sausage and spicy Italian sausage - the Sicilian Meats pizza is a tantalizing taste bud treat for meat enthusiasts. Beginning August 28 and continuing through October 15, customers can enjoy a large Sicilian Meats pizza for just $11.99, or "go deep" with Papa's Perfect Pan for just a dollar more.

"As the old song goes, it was certainly 'amore' that encouraged us to bring back the Sicilian Meats pizza," said Bill Van Epps, president, USA, Papa John's International, Inc. "Customers loved the flavorful combination of meat toppings when we first introduced Sicilian Meats last year and have since told us that they would like to see it back on the Papa John's menu."
