- Papa Johns Canada launches a new 16-inch XL Pizza.
- The limited-time offer is available until January 3, 2027.
- The XL Pizza features fresh dough, mozzarella, and signature sauce.
Papa Johns Canada is giving customers a bigger reason to order with the launch of its new 16-inch XL Pizza. Introduced on November 2, the larger format brings more of the chain’s familiar flavors to Canadian customers, using fresh, never-frozen original dough, real mozzarella cheese, and signature pizza sauce made from vine-ripened tomatoes. The launch expands the brand’s menu with a larger option designed to deliver more of the pizza customers already know.
For a limited time, customers can order a 16-inch XL Pizza with one topping for $19.99 at participating Papa Johns restaurants across Canada. The promotional offer runs through January 3, 2027, giving the brand an extended opportunity to promote the new size during the holiday season. Customers can place orders through the Papa Johns app or the company’s Canadian website.
“There’s a reason we’re calling it XL. At 16 inches, it’s a seriously big pizza,” said Scott Lewis, General Manager of International Markets for Canada at Papa Johns. He added that the company wanted to give Canadians more of the products they already enjoy while creating another reason to order. The new format maintains the ingredients associated with the brand’s original pizza, with the larger size serving as the main change.
The launch also illustrates how limited-time pricing and new menu formats can give franchise brands fresh ways to engage customers. A coordinated promotional campaign can help communicate an offer across participating locations while giving operators a consistent message to share with their markets. The Competitions and Promotions feature available through Gorilla Dash provides franchise networks with a way to organize promotional initiatives and support campaign coordination across locations.
For Papa Johns Canada, the XL Pizza arrives as a straightforward addition to its menu rather than a complete product reinvention. Its familiar ingredients, larger dimensions, and temporary introductory price give customers a new option for sharing meals and gatherings. Whether the format remains available after the promotion ends has not been announced, leaving the $19.99 offer as the confirmed opportunity for customers through January 3, 2027.
