Papa Johns fan-favorite is now part of permanent menu. Here's what to know
A Papa Johns fan favorite is back — and it's here to stay.
The beloved Shaq-A-Roni pizza is now available year-round as a full-time menu item, the Atlanta-based pizza chain announced June 5.
The brand teamed up with former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal to launch the extra-large pie as a limited-time item in 2020, and it has made several appearances since then.
For $15.99, the 16-inch pizza features more than a half pound of cheese and extra pepperoni, according to Papa Johns website. It's then cut into eight large slices.
'The Shaq-a-Roni isn't just a pizza — it's a slam dunk,' O'Neal, a Papa Johns franchisee, said in a news release. 'I'm pumped that it's now here to stay. It's big, it's delicious, and it brings people together — just like pizza should.'
The NBA Hall of Famer owns nine Papa Johns franchises in the Atlanta area and has served on the company's board of directors since 2019, according to O'Neal is also a brand ambassador for the pizza chain.
