What is a Papa Bowl?
As someone who loves indulging in delicious food while staying healthy, I was thrilled to discover Papa John’s unique low-carb option – the Papa Bowl. No more scraping off pizza toppings and wasting time! With this dish, you can savor a satisfying meal without compromising on taste.
So what makes the Papa Bowl so special? For starters, it replaces the traditional crust with crisp lettuce for a fresh twist. But that’s just the beginning. This keto-friendly dish has all the right components: grilled chicken or steak for protein, juicy tomatoes for flavor, and an abundance of fresh lettuce. And don’t worry about having to sacrifice your favorite sauces either – there are two options to choose from: pizza sauce made with real tomato puree and spices or garlic dipping sauce.
Perhaps the best part is having complete control over exactly what goes into your Papa Bowl. Customize it to your liking with preferred vegetables and meats while avoiding non-keto ingredients like croutons or breaded chicken strips.
Next time I’m craving something both delicious and nutritious, I won’t hesitate to indulge in one of Papa John’s fabulous Papa Bowls!
Build Your Own Papa Bowl
I absolutely adore Papa John’s for the opportunity to craft my very own personalized pizza bowl.

For people following a strict keto diet at Papa John’s, it’s essential to watch out for carb-heavy toppings hiding in plain sight. Ditching the traditional red sauce in favor of garlic Parmesan or BBQ sauce is key. Additionally, don’t forget to include healthy fatty acids with bacon or avocado toppings.
Once you’ve chosen all of your preferred ingredients and built your dream pizza bowl menu item (sans crust), place it underneath a broiler for that satisfying sizzle and crunch. Then relax and enjoy your tailor-made low-carb meal from Papa John’s!

What to Order at Papa John’s
If you’re following the keto diet and craving some Papa John’s, fear not – there are still some tasty options for you. Let’s dive into what works best. As for pizza, go for a thin crust and top it with delicious keto ingredients like pepperoni or mushrooms. Another great choice is wings, just make sure to choose bone-in ones (and steer clear of BBQ) and opt for either Buffalo or Unsauced sauce.
Apart from these options, there isn’t much on the menu that fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle. But don’t worry! If you want to customise your own meal, try out a Papa Bowl – start with a base of lettuce or spinach then add grilled chicken (or vegetarian protein), cheese and all your preferred veggies. Just keep in mind that not all dressings will be low-carb approved so either bring your own or stick to simple oil-and-vinegar.
All in all, while the choices may seem limited at first glance, planning ahead and being selective can allow you to indulge in some delicious food whilst still sticking to your macros. So go ahead, enjoy that pizza guilt-free!
Pizza
Pizza is, no doubt, the main attraction at Papa John’s. While pizza may be a tricky food item for those following the keto diet plan, there are options available. One such option is to choose a thin-crust pizza with minimal toppings. You can also make your own customized pizza bowl by selecting low-carb ingredients like green peppers, onions, bacon, chicken sausage and black olives.
The best way to enjoy a slice of keto-friendly pizza from Papa John’s is to ask for a few modifications that suits your dietary requirements. For example, you can request extra cheese instead of tomato sauce or opt for vegetable-based toppings instead of high-carb options like pineapples and pepperoni.
It’s worth noting that while some types of meats have low carbs – like sausage- others might have hidden carbs in them- always check nutritional facts or inquire about how they’re prepared before ordering.
In conclusion, Papa John’s offer several tasty and healthy choices for those on the Keto diet seeking delicious pizzas and yummy meals. By modifying their specialty menus offerings or customizing their own meal options as per their tastes makes it easier for everyone to stay fit on-the-go!
Wings
Are you a keto enthusiast who can’t resist the temptation of some delicious wings? Papa John’s has got your back! While most wings come coated with high-carb sugary sauces, at Papa John’s, you can find keto-friendly options that will allow you to indulge in finger-licking goodness without sabotaging your diet.
The perfect option for all wing-lovers on Keto is the Papadias. These folded flatbreads have everything one looks for in a typical sandwich, but with so much more flavor. The BBQ Chicken Bacon Papadia and Philly Steak Papadia are our top picks — they both are mouth-wateringly delicious while staying within your daily net carb allowance.
Those looking for an extra kick of heat and spice should try out the Buffalo-style chicken poppers or the spicy garlic parmesan chicken poppers. Both come packed with bold flavors that will tickle those taste buds while keeping things ketogenic!
Still considering ordering traditional wings? No problem – we’ve got recommendations on how to order them low-carb. Simply request unbreaded wings with bone-in and stick to hot sauce or dry-rub flavors like garlic parmesan or Cajun style. Avoid sweet and sticky sauces as well as fried rice dishes that add unnecessary carbs.
At Papa John’s, snacking doesn’t mean compromising on taste or health goals! With so many options available at your fingertips, eating keto-friendly food is no longer just a possibility but an utterly delicious experience.
Foods to Avoid
I’ve been following the keto diet for a while now, and let me tell you, choosing the right foods is key. One wrong choice can throw off your carb count for the day! If you’re looking to order from Papa John’s while staying in ketosis, here are a few things to keep in mind:
First things first – stay away from regular or deep-dish crusts. The flour used in making dough contains too many carbs that’ll set you back. Instead, opt for their Keto-friendly crust made with almond flour and cheese – trust me, it’s just as delicious!
Pasta dishes like BBQ Chicken & Bacon Penne should also be avoided since pasta contains a lot more carbs than what’s recommended on the keto diet. Oh, and adding pineapple or banana peppers? Don’t even think about it – they contain way too much sugar.
Lastly, don’t be tempted by Papa John’s desserts like chocolate chip cookie fudge brownies and Cinnamon Sweetsticks. They may look tempting but they’re loaded with sugars and carbs that can kick you out of ketosis faster than you can say “cheat day”.
So if you’re serious about sticking to your keto-meal plan when ordering at Papa John’s restaurants make sure to check the nutritional information before placing an order!
Other Keto-Friendly Options at Papa John’s
While pizza and wings may be the main attractions at Papa John’s, there are other keto-friendly options available on their menu. One great option is their Caesar Salad, which can be customized to fit keto guidelines by removing croutons and requesting dressing on the side. Another potential salad option is the garden salad with grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
For those looking for a heartier meal, Papa John’s also offers several bowls that can be modified to fit a keto diet. The Grilled BBQ Chicken & Bacon Bowl, when ordered without rice, corn, and beans fits perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle. Similarly, the Unwrapped Chicken Burrito Bowl sans rice and beans provides a flavorful and filling alternative.
Sides such as green beans or jalapeño peppers provide additional veggie options while still being low in carbs. And lastly, do not forget about drinks! Unsweetened iced tea or black coffee pair well with any meal and will not break your daily carb limit.
In conclusion, while it may seem like Papa John’s limits itself to just pizza and wings for its keto customers – there are plenty of other satisfying options available if you know where to look!
