Papa John’s introduces ‘Chocolate Pastry Delights'Atlanta Business Chronicle

Papa John’s International Inc. has added another dessert item to its menu to further diversify its offerings, which now includes pizza, breadsticks, chicken wings and cinnamon desserts.

Now, the company also is offering “Chocolate Pastry Delights.” The confection is a warm, puff pastry filled with Nestle Toll House chocolate and drizzled with white icing. Each order includes four individual-size pastries.

“It was our goal to give chocolate lovers an after-meal treat that can satisfy their sweet-tooth craving, but without being too filling,” said Bill Van Epps, Papa John’s president, USA, in a news release.

The Chocolate Pastry Delight is a permanent addition to the Papa John’s menu. Its price will range from $3.99 to $4.99. Other dessert offerings include the Cinna Swirl Sweettreat, Apple Twist Sweettreat and Cinnamon Sweetsticks.

Louisville-based Papa John’s (NASDAQ: PZZA) operates more than 3,200 restaurants worldwide, including 495 international restaurants in 29 countries.
