Papa Johns Pepsi Price 2026 Every Size
Papa Johns Pepsi is available in two bottle sizes at all US locations. Prices below are the national standard for 2026. Regional variation of $0.25 to $0.50 is possible depending on your market. Ordering through third-party apps like DoorDash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats typically adds a $0.50 to $1.00 markup per drink ā ordering directly via papajohns.com or the Papa Johns app always gives you the base price.
| Size | Price (2026) | Calories | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 oz Bottle | $2.99 | 250 cal | Solo meal, individual order |
| 2-Liter Bottle | $3.49 | 150 cal per 12 oz | Family meal, groups of 4 to 6 |
Best value: The 2-Liter at $3.49 delivers approximately 5 to 6 servings of 12 oz each. Compared to paying $2.99 for a single 20 oz bottle, the 2-Liter is always the smarter buy for any order feeding two or more people. Under the Papa Pairings deal, a qualifying drink can be bundled with another item for $6.99 each ā making the 2-Liter an even stronger value.

Best Pizza Pairings ā Papa Johns Pepsi Guide
Pepsi is the most versatile drink pairing at Papa Johns because its sweetness and carbonation work well with almost every pizza style. The caramel notes in Pepsi cut through salty toppings and cheese fat, while the carbonation resets the palate between bites.
| Pizza / Item | Pepsi Pairing Notes | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Pepperoni Pizza | The single best Pepsi pairing. Caramel sweetness perfectly offsets salty, spiced pepperoni. | ā ā ā ā ā |
| The Works Pizza | Carbonation cuts through all seven toppings without competing. Bold drink for a bold pizza. | ā ā ā ā ā |
| The Meats Pizza | Heavy meat load needs a strong drink. Pepsi holds up well against sausage and bacon. | ā ā ā ā ā |
| Papadias (Italian, Philly) | Dense flatbreads pair naturally with cola. Effervescence lifts the heaviness. | ā ā ā ā ā |
| Wings (BBQ/Chipotle) | Pepsi works well with savory and sweet wing sauces. | ā ā ā ā ā |
Pairing rule of thumb: Order Pepsi when your pizza has salty, savory, or meat-forward toppings. It is the safest drink choice for any standard Papa Johns order. Switch to Mountain Dew for spicy pizzas.
Carryout Tip
Carryout Pepsi will always be colder than delivered drinks. If you are picking up your pizza, your drinks are stored in industrial refrigerators until the moment you arrive. Check our Store Hours for the best pickup time.
