About Papa John's Sides
Breadsticks, garlic knots, cheesesticks, and dinner rolls baked fresh to round out any order.
Prices run $4.49 to $13.99 across 7 options, averaging around $8.42. Papa John's stores are mostly franchised so the exact figure moves a little by location, and carryout matches the listed price more closely than delivery does once fees land.
Papa John's Sides and What They Cost
Seven items, from $4.49 for a half dozen dinner rolls up to $13.99 for sixteen cheesesticks. Everything in this section is bread in one form or another, and most of it is designed to be shared.
Original Breadsticks at $6.99 and Cheesesticks at $8.49 are the two that get ordered most. Garlic Knots sit between them at $6.49 for ten, and the Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks are fifty cents over the originals at $7.49.
Family Size Saves Three Dollars
Two of the sides come in a sixteen-piece box, and both save you the same three dollars. Family Size Breadsticks are $10.99 against $13.98 for two regular boxes. Family Size Cheesesticks are $13.99 against $16.98.
There is no version of this where the two smaller boxes make sense unless you want two different things. If you want sixteen of the same breadstick, the family size is always the cheaper route.
The Cheapest Way to Add Something
Dinner Rolls at $4.49 for six are the least expensive side on the menu and the lowest in calories at 130 a roll. They are also the plainest, which is either the point or the problem depending on what you wanted.
Garlic Knots are the best value in the middle of the range - $6.49 for ten pieces at 100 calories each, which is more pieces for less money than the breadsticks above them. They just come in smaller pieces.
Cheapest and Most Expensive
The least you can spend here is $4.49 on the Dinner Rolls (6pc). The most is $13.99 for the Family Size Cheesesticks (16pc), which puts the average around $8.42.
Whether you're comparing sizes, checking calorie counts, or just deciding what to add to an order, the table and photos above cover every sides option in one place, so there is nothing else to click through. For allergen details across the whole menu, see the allergen and calorie guide.
