What is a papadia?

A papadia is a type of flatbread sandwich made with pizza dough that is folded over and filled with various toppings, similar to a calzone. It is a popular menu item at the fast-food chain Papa John's, where it was introduced in 2020.

Papadias come in a variety of flavors and fillings, such as BBQ Chicken & Bacon, Italian, Philly Cheesesteak, and Grilled Buffalo Chicken. They are typically served with dipping sauces on the side, such as ranch or pizza sauce.

The name "papadia" is a combination of "Papa," which is a reference to Papa John's, and "piadina," which is an Italian flatbread sandwich. The papadia has quickly become a popular choice for customers looking for a quick and easy meal on the go.
