12 Inch Original Garden Fresh Pizza — Papa John's

Is the 12 Inch Original Garden Fresh Pizza a good deal?

At a typical $19.24, the 12 Inch Original Garden Fresh Pizza at Papa John's gives you 1,600 calories and 58g of protein — 3.0g of protein and 83 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 60/100, which ranks it #82 of the 96 pizza items we've priced across every chain (the typical pizza item returns about 4.1g of protein per dollar).

Where it stands out: a high absolute protein load (58g); 9g of fiber. Worth noting, though — sodium runs high (3,850mg), and it carries a lot of sugar (30g). If you want more for your money in the same category, Cheese Pizza (Slice) at Costco Food Court scores higher (91/100 value, $1.99).
