Every Papa John's Pizza and What It Costs
There are 35 pizzas on the current menu, running from $9.99 for a Medium Cheese up to $20.99 for an XL Epic Stuffed Crust Pepperoni. Almost everything else sits between those two, and the step from one size up to the next runs about three dollars whichever pizza you started from.

Prices checked August 2026. Calories are per slice. Papa John's stores are mostly franchised, so these are typical US carryout prices rather than one national list.
Cost Per Slice, Which the Menu Never Shows You
The headline prices make a medium look like the cheap option. Divided by what you actually get, it is the most expensive way to buy a pizza at Papa John's.
| Size | Slices | Cheese | Per Slice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium | 6 | $9.99 | $1.67 |
| Large | 8 | $12.99 | $1.62 |
| Extra Large | 10 | $15.99 | $1.60 |
| Shaq-a-Roni | 12 | — | $1.42 |
Medium Cheese at $9.99 across 6 slices is $1.67 a slice. The large is $1.62 and the XL is $1.60. Six dollars more than the medium buys you four extra slices, which is the better trade every time you can finish them.
The Shaq-a-Roni beats all of them at $1.42. It is an extra-large pepperoni cut into 12 instead of 10, so the extra cut alone drops it eighteen cents a slice below the standard XL, and it is a specialty pizza rather than a plain cheese.
Where this breaks down is leftovers. A slice you throw away costs the same as one you eat, so the per-slice number only helps if the pizza gets finished. Two people ordering an XL to save money against a medium have not saved anything if half of it goes in the bin.
Classic vs Specialty Pizzas
Cheese and Pepperoni are the classics and they anchor the bottom of the price list at every size. Specialty pizzas run three to four dollars above them, because they carry more toppings and more of those toppings are meat.
What is unusual is how little the specialties differ from each other. The Works, All the Meats, Super Papa's, Philly Cheesesteak, BBQ Chicken Bacon, Buffalo Chicken, Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and Zesty Italian Trio all sit within fifty cents at any given size. Choosing between them is purely about appetite, not budget.
Two sit outside that band. NY Style comes in large and XL only and runs about a dollar over the equivalent pepperoni. Epic Stuffed Crust is the most expensive thing on the menu at $17.99 large and $20.99 XL, and it is the only crust that changes the price rather than being a free swap.
Crust Styles and Which Ones Cost Extra
Original is the default: hand-tossed, a raised edge, and the one every price on this page assumes. It is thicker than a chain-standard base and it is what the garlic dip was built for.
Thin is a free swap on most pizzas and takes roughly a third off the calories a slice, since the change is almost entirely dough. If you are watching the number, this moves it further than switching toppings does.
NY Style is wider and foldable, cut into larger slices, and available in large and XL only. It carries about a dollar premium over the same pizza on original crust.
Epic Stuffed Crust is not a swap at all. It is a separate menu item with mozzarella baked into the rim, and it adds about four dollars. It is also the heaviest option at 310 calories a slice for the large, before you count what is on top.
Calories by the Slice
Every calorie figure in the table is per slice, which matters enormously when a large has eight of them. A Large Cheese at 210 a slice is 1,680 calories for the whole pizza. Super Papa's at 310 a slice is 2,480.
Toppings move the number more than size does. An XL Cheese slice is 220 calories; a large Super Papa's slice is 310. So going up a size costs you less per slice than loading the same pizza with meat.
The lightest pizzas on the menu are Garden Fresh at 200 to 220 depending on size, and Spinach Alfredo just behind it. Both are vegetable-topped, which is doing more of the work than any crust choice. The allergen and calorie table has the full breakdown, and the nutrition calculator totals a whole order rather than one slice.
How Much Pizza for How Many People
Two slices a head is the working number for adults eating pizza alongside sides. Three if the pizza is the only thing on the table. Children eat one or two.
That puts a large at four people as part of a spread, or two to three as the whole meal. An XL stretches to five as a side. For anything above six people you are into multiple pizzas, and at that point the per-slice maths above is worth two minutes of your time - three XLs at $47.97 gives you thirty slices where four larges at $51.96 gives you thirty-two, and the difference is rarely worth four dollars.
Wings and sides change the arithmetic. An 8-piece of wings is roughly three slices worth of food, so a table with wings and breadsticks needs noticeably less pizza than the two-slice rule suggests.
