Pizza restaurant chain Papa John’s International has announced the launch of its new Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust pizza in Canada.

The latest menu addition is the brand's third iteration of its stuffed crust pizza, following its cheese and pepperoni varieties.

Papa Johns's international menu strategy and product innovation senior vice-president Kimberly Bean said: “At Papa John's, we are committed to giving fans more of what they want and they have expressed so much love for our special garlic sauce that we had to find a way to spotlight this flavour.

“Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza takes garlic to the next level and continues our commitment to flavour exploration.

“By combining our signature dough and adding garlic in – and on – our Epic Stuffed Crust pizza, we’ve created a whole new culinary experience while delivering two fan favourites for the ultimate stuffed crust pizza.”

The Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust has been launched across all Papa John's restaurants in Canada.

The restaurant brand has also announced the launch of the Spicy Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust, featuring a sprinkle of chilli flakes and a layer of the brand’s signature Spicy Garlic Sauce.

Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust is the latest in a string of menu innovations from the brand this year.

Last month, Papa John's International launched the Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust pizza in the US market.
