Papa Johns Summons a Halloween Favourite: The Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza Returns

 Worth sinking your teeth into: The ghoulishly good pizza is back for a limited time

EDMONTON, Alberta, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Papa Johns Canada is summoning a familiar face this Halloween, bringing back its Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza for a limited time. The seasonal favourite arrives on menus across Canada just in time for the spookiest night of the year.

Made with Papa Johns' signature pizza sauce and real cheese made from mozzarella, the Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza features a pumpkin-shaped thin crust, complete with a pepperoni smile and olive eyes. The pizza arrives unsliced to keep its design intact.

Whether you're fuelling up before trick-or-treating, feeding a hungry crew of ghosts and goblins, or settling in for a scary movie marathon, this is one Halloween guest you'll want at the table.

The Jack-o’-Lantern Pizza is available October 19 through November 1, 2026, at participating Papa Johns restaurants across Canada for $17.99. But don't wait too long. It's only here for a short spell before vanishing from the menu.

Guests can order at PapaJohns.ca, through the Papa Johns app, or at participating restaurants.
