Papa Johns globally loved Croissant Pizza is finally making its U.S. debut—and it’s flaky, buttery, and worth the wait.
After winning over pizza lovers across nine international markets, Papa Johns is bringing its Croissant Pizza stateside for the first time. But there’s a twist: it’s available for one day only, and only to Papa Rewards members at participating locations.
This exclusive drop is more than just a giveaway—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, global inspiration, and culinary innovation. With its delicate, pastry-like crust and indulgent flavor profile, the Croissant Pizza is a bold reimagining of what pizza can be.
“As a brand built on innovation, craftsmanship, and quality, we’re always looking to global food culture for inspiration—and turning it into new and delicious experiences that stand out,” said Shivram Vaideeswaran, Senior Vice President of Brand at Papa Johns. “We’re proud to bring together two beloved icons into one craveable, elevated product that reflects our commitment to Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.®”
From the UAE to the U.S.
Originally launched in the UAE, the Croissant Pizza quickly became a fan favorite abroad, earning praise for its flaky, buttery crust and crisp, airy bite. It’s a mashup that feels indulgent yet refined—bringing together the comfort of pizza with the elegance of a classic French pastry.
How to Get It
On September 10, Papa Rewards members will have the chance to try the Croissant Pizza for free—while supplies last.
Members will receive an email invite with details, and a follow-up notification once the giveaway ends.
From the Oven to the Runway
To celebrate the Croissant Pizza’s international success, Papa Johns partnered with designer KidSuper to create the Papa Johns x KidSuper Hot Bag—a custom delivery bag inspired by the pizza’s braided, flaky crust. The bag debuted at Paris Fashion Week Men’s SS26, turning heads with its crescent-shaped zipper and pastry-inspired design.
