If you believe BBQ sauce deserves its own fan club, this one’s for you.

There’s just something about that sweet, smoky, sticky flavour that turns an ordinary pizza night into a “right, nobody talk to me until I’ve finished this slice” kind of occasion. Alright, occasionally it also turns the night into a bit of a sticky mess, but the flavour’s always worth it! With UK BBQ Week serving up the perfect seasonal excuse, now feels like the right time to give our BBQ favourites the attention they deserve.

So, if you’re searching for the best Papa Johns BBQ pizza, wondering what BBQ sides we have, or simply in the mood for something smoky and saucy, here’s your full guide to every Papa Johns BBQ option.

Let’s start with the stars of the show: the pizzas.

BBQ Chicken Classic

The BBQ Chicken Classic knows exactly what it’s doing. It comes topped with chargrilled chicken, bacon, onions, and BBQ sauce – which is basically the flavour equivalent of turning up completely overdressed and somehow still being the coolest person in the room.

This is the one to go for if you like your pizza smoky, savoury, and just a little bit sweet. The chicken brings the heartiness, the bacon adds a salty hit, and the onions cut through with just enough bite.

BBQ Meat Feast

If your ideal pizza order is based on the principle of “more meat, fewer questions”, the BBQ Meat Feast is here for you. This one comes with pepperoni, spicy beef, sausage, bacon, and ham on a smoky BBQ base.

It’s rich, loaded, and absolutely not trying to be subtle. Every bite leans into that BBQ flavour, while the meat toppings pile on the kind of hearty satisfaction that makes this one feel like a proper feast. When only a big, smoky pizza will do, this is your guy.

The BBQ side you need to know about

If you’re celebrating all things BBQ, you may as well go all the way.

Here’s where things get even more interesting.

If your loyalty to BBQ knows no limits, you can switch the base sauce on your pizzas and go for a BBQ base instead. That means you’re not limited to our dedicated BBQ pizzas if you want to bring a smoky twist to your order.

So, whether you stick with a classic favourite or start creating your own BBQ masterpiece, there’s plenty of room to dial up the smoky flavour. It’s a little bit bold, a little bit brilliant, and exactly the kind of decision we support.

Don’t forget the BBQ dip

For anyone who believes dipping is not optional but a way of life, there’s also the BBQ dip pot.

This is the finishing touch for crust dippers, side snackers, and people who hear the phrase “too much sauce” and simply choose not to relate. Add one to your order and suddenly even the last bite gets a smoky little encore.

When it comes to bold, smoky flavour, BBQ always delivers. Some people live by the mantra of “everything good in moderation”, but when it comes to BBQ sauce - we say more really is more. 

Whether you already know your go-to order or you’re feeling inspired to try something new, there are plenty of ways to get your BBQ fix at your local Papa Johns. If all this BBQ talk has done exactly what it was always going to do, order now and let your next pizza night do the talking.
