Introducing the Shaq-A-Roni: A Pizza with a Purpose
The Papa Johns menu has just gotten a whole lot bigger with the launch of its new XL pizza, the Shaq-A-Roni, developed in partnership with basketball Hall of Famer and Papa Johns board member and franchisee Shaquille O’Neal. This year marks the inaugural global launch of the Shaq-A-Roni, and it’s set to be a game-changer for pizza lovers and young entrepreneurs alike.
A Pizza that’s Too Big to Keep to Yourself
Measuring in at a whopping 15.5 inches, the Shaq-A-Roni is the perfect sharing pizza for friends and family this holiday season. Made with Papa Johns’ fresh, never frozen, six-ingredient dough, this extra-large pizza is topped with tomato sauce, extra pepperoni, and extra cheese, before being baked to perfection and cut into eight foldable slices. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones or just need a pizza that’s big enough to satisfy your cravings, the Shaq-A-Roni is the perfect choice.
Pizza with a Purpose: Supporting Youth Empowerment
But what really sets the Shaq-A-Roni apart is its purpose. Papa Johns has partnered with Young Enterprise, a non-profit youth organization part of Junior Achievement Worldwide, to support its mission to catalyze youth empowerment worldwide. For every Shaq-A-Roni pizza sold, Papa Johns will donate a $1 equivalent donation to Junior Achievement, helping to provide young people with the skills and opportunities they need to succeed. According to Leo Martellotto, Chief Development Officer at JA Worldwide, “Our partnership with Papa Johns unlocks additional funding and opportunities for JA’s hands-on learning experiences, which help young people build new skillsets and change their mindset.”
A Proven Track Record of Supporting Communities
This is not the first time Papa Johns has shown its commitment to supporting community organizations. Over the past three years, the company has raised over $9 million for community organizations through sales of the Shaq-A-Roni pizza. Rebecca Rose, Senior Director of Marketing at Papa Johns, notes, “We’re proud to continue supporting youth empowerment worldwide by donating funds from every Shaq-A-Roni pizza sold to Young Enterprise – a global non-profit youth organization.” With the global launch of the Shaq-A-Roni, Papa Johns is set to make an even bigger impact, supporting young entrepreneurs and future leaders around the world.
