Papa John's celebrates the holiday season with the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and the return of The Salvation Army Red Kettly Cookie.
The Red Kettle Cookie is Papa John's take on the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie. Papa John's partnered with The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, which provides several humanitarian services like food, shelter, addiction recovery assistance, after-school programs for 30 million Americans every year.
A portion, or 50 cents of each Red Kettle Cookie sold during this period will go to, the longest fundraising program for the Army and one of most recognizable sights and sounds of the holiday season.
Papa John's will be donating up to $300,000 to the charitable organization until the duration of the event through Dec.28.
"Papa John's has been an incredible partner to The Salvation Army over the years and we are grateful for their continued support, particularly during our most crucial fundraising season," said Lieutenant Colonel Ron Busroe, community relations and development secretary for The Salvation Army. "The money raised by the sales of the Red Kettle Cookie will help The Salvation Army continue to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need year round."
Meanwhile, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza is available for a limited time only until December 28. The pizza is made with a Papa John's signature hand-tossed pizza dough filled with creamy garlic sauce and thinly-slice juicy steak made by the Original Philly Cheesesteak Company, topped with fresh sliced green peppers and onion, and provolone and mozzarella cheese.
The pizza is available in a large size for $12 for the whole family to enjoy.
"We've worked hard to capture those same familiar, savory flavors in this pizza," said Bob Kraut, Papa John's chief marketing officer.
"If you like pizza and you like cheesesteak, we hope that you will also like this new combination. Papa John's is known for sourcing the very best ingredients available, which is why we decided to use steak directly from the Original Philly Cheesesteak Company to bring the authentic taste of Philly to our pizza. Our new pizza and the Red Kettle Cookie is a winning combination for both the holidays and the community. We are proud to be partnering with The Salvation Army this season."
