Jack-o'-Lantern Pizzas Are Back at Papa John's

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so if the PSL sparks joy, drink your heart out -- just know, your opinion is wrong. And while you're wasting your calories on pumpkin spice-flavored crap, we've got our eyes on something way better: a Papa John's pizza that not only includes our obvious faves (carbs, cheese, the works), but also looks just like a Jack-o'-Lantern.
On Monday, the pizza chain announced the annual return of its Halloween-inspired pie. And while it should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, fans are planning their Octobers accordingly. "This weekend we order this and watch Halloween movies," one user wrote in a Facebook comment. "Found Halloween dinner," another added.
These humans of the internet aren't exaggerating either. It's objectively better than the carved pumpkin that sits outside and rots on your doorstep. The Jack-o'-Lantern pie has a large pumpkin-shaped thin crust, pepperoni face, and black olive eyes (is just me or are they staring into your soul, too??).
Now, as if feeding us and providing quality spooky szn #content -- you're posting it on Instagram and you know it -- weren't enough, they're priced really cheap. Now through Halloween, you can snag the limited-edition pizza for $11 with code JACKOLANTERN when you order online.
