Papa John's adds spicy kick of chipotle sauce [Sunglasses]
This week I reached out for a slice of Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Pizza, from America's No. 3 pizza flipper, Papa John's, with 3,200 restaurants coast to coast and another 800 'round the world. What's the No. 1 pizza chain? In the words of Denver Broncos quarterback and Papa John's franchisee Peyton Manning … "Hut Hut." Here's the Chipotle Chicken & Bacon blueprint: chipotle sauce, slices of Papa John's chicken poppers, shredded mozzarella and cheddar, crumbled bacon and chopped Roma tomatoes on hand-tossed crust. Total calories: 350 per slice of a large pizza. Fat grams: 14. Sodium: 1,030 mg. Dietary fiber: 2. Carbs: 38 g. Protein: 18 g. Manufacturer's suggested retail price: $11.
Now Papa John's is lifting Taco Bell's trick of raiding the fridge for ingredients already found in their other specialty pizzas and using a little of this and little of that to create a whole new pizza. The Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Pizza is pretty, that's for sure. There's yellow and white cheese, red ripe tomatoes, smoky dark bacon and golden brown crust. The colors work for me. And as QVC huckster David Venable always says on the QVC home shopping channel, "You eat with your eyes first." What doesn't work is … where's my red base sauce? When you eschew (great word) red tomato sauce for creamy chipotle sauce, you're messing with the pizza paradigm (another great word). As a pizza purist, I get jittery when a chain based in Kentucky starts messing and freestylin' with the basics.
Just because it's round and cheese is within 50 feet doesn't make it a pizza. Remember when Domino's dumped a Philly cheesesteak on a circle of dough and called it a pizza? I'm still in therapy. The Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Pizza has a target audience - people who like their pizzas spicy. With the chicken poppers and chipotle sauce, this pie has a grown-up taste. I liked it. The spice isn't overpowering, but kids might find it too much. So order a regular pepperoni pizza, too, just to keep peace in the house. A slice of Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Pizza is a handful. It's overloaded with toppings, so the flop factor is high. Be careful: Either fold the slice New York-style or use two hands for the first couple of bites. If I see you using a knife and fork … you must leave. And with all those toppings, the Chipotle Chicken & Bacon Pizza is a diet buster. Three slices in and you've crossed the 1,000-calorie red line. One way to cut back, just a little, is ask for thin crust. That saves about 50 calories per slice. It won't help your fat intake, though. Nobody gets out completely alive.
