Papa John’s Pizza has launched a lighter option to target existing and new customers who are conscious about what they eat.
The company is now offering lower fat cheese as a topping available on all its pizzas, following feedback from a recent survey, which revealed people wanted the choice between its regular offering and a lighter option.
Whilst lower fat cheese contains one third less fat than regular cheese, Papa John’s believes that thanks to the continued use of premium ingredients, which the company is famous for, customers will still love the taste.
"As a pizza maker, my goal has always been to bring people together around quality pizza that everyone can enjoy," said Papa John, founder, chairman, president and CEO of Papa John's.
"We want to accommodate different preferences, so we added lower fat cheese to give people more options, while still delivering the same better ingredients that make for better taste."
Gareth Davies, Regional vice president for Western Europe & Papa John’s UK, added: "We're always tinkering with new menu items and recipes, and this is a great option for people who prefer pizza on the lighter side.
“You won't find any processed, low-calorie ingredients because our menu items are made from the same better ingredients our customers expect from us.
“This means new and existing customers can now enjoy high quality, lower fat cheese pizza, combined with other lighter options on Papa John’s menu, such as the SNOG frozen yogurt, or the new chargrilled Corn on the Cob.”
