Last Updated: March 2026
In this complete 2026 guide, we break down every Super Loaded Pizza on the Papa Johns menu — including full prices by size, calories per slice, honest flavor reviews, and the best ways to order them. Whether you're feeding a crowd or treating yourself, this is the only guide you need.
What Are Papa Johns Super Loaded Pizzas?
Super Loaded Pizzas are Papa Johns' specialty pizza lineup — the highest-tier, most topping-packed options on the entire menu. While Classic Pizzas like Pepperoni or Cheese are crowd-pleasers, Super Loaded Pizzas are built for those who want maximum flavor in every bite.
What sets them apart:
- More toppings than any Classic Pizza — up to 6 premium ingredients per pizza
- Higher-quality cuts — julienne-cut Canadian bacon, fresh-cut onions, crisp green peppers
- Every slice is loaded — no thin spots, no bare edges
- Available on any crust — Original, Thin, New York Style, or Epic Stuffed Crust
These pizzas start at $14.99 and range up to $23.99 depending on size. Yes, they cost more than Classic Pizzas — but the difference in toppings and flavor density makes every extra dollar count.
Full Super Loaded Pizza Menu with Prices (2026)
Here's a complete breakdown of every Super Loaded Pizza at Papa Johns, with current estimated prices and calories:
🍕 The Works
The most popular Super Loaded Pizza at Papa Johns.
Toppings: Pepperoni, julienne-cut Canadian bacon, spicy Italian sausage, fresh-cut onions, crisp green peppers, mushrooms
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Small (10") | $14.99 | 210 cal |
| Medium (12") | $17.99 | 280 cal |
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 360 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 450 cal |
Why order it: The Works is the ultimate "I want everything" pizza. Six distinct ingredients come together in a way that's surprisingly balanced — the spicy sausage plays off the mild mushrooms, and the green peppers cut through the richness of the meats. If you're new to Super Loaded Pizzas, start here.
🥩 The Meats
For serious meat lovers only.
Toppings: Pepperoni, spicy Italian sausage, julienne-cut Canadian bacon, beef, and a generous layer of extra mozzarella
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Small (10") | $14.99 | 240 cal |
| Medium (12") | $17.99 | 310 cal |
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 390 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 460 cal |
Why order it: No vegetables, no compromise. The Meats is exactly what it sounds like — a full-on meat feast built for those who believe vegetables have no place on a pizza. The combination of four different proteins creates a layered savory experience that's genuinely hard to match anywhere else.
🍍 Super Hawaiian
Sweet, savory, and completely unapologetic.
Toppings: Canadian bacon, pineapple tidbits, extra mozzarella cheese
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 260 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 320 cal |
Why order it: Hawaiian pizza debates aside, Papa Johns' Super Hawaiian does it right. The pineapple is sweet but not overwhelming, and the Canadian bacon adds a smoky saltiness that balances everything out. At 260 calories per slice, it's also one of the lighter Super Loaded options.
🔥 BBQ Chicken Bacon
Smoky, tangy, and boldly flavored.
Toppings: Grilled chicken, crispy bacon, onions, BBQ sauce base instead of tomato sauce
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 310 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 375 cal |
Why order it: The BBQ sauce base changes everything. Instead of the traditional tomato base, this pizza uses a smoky BBQ sauce that soaks into the crust and coats every ingredient. The grilled chicken keeps it leaner, while the crispy bacon adds a crunch element you don't get anywhere else on the Super Loaded menu.
🌶️ Fiery Buffalo Chicken
Heat seekers, this one's built for you.
Toppings: Grilled chicken, buffalo sauce base, banana peppers, onions, drizzle of ranch
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 290 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 350 cal |
Why order it: Buffalo chicken on a pizza sounds like a shortcut, but Papa Johns executes it seriously. The buffalo sauce base brings real heat — not fake spicy — and the banana peppers add a vinegary brightness that cuts through the richness. The ranch drizzle cools everything down just enough.
🧀 Fresh Tuscan Six Cheese
For cheese lovers who want maximum dairy drama.
Toppings: Six-cheese blend including mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, romano, Asiago, and fontina
| Size | Price | Calories/Slice |
|---|---|---|
| Large (14") | $20.99 | 280 cal |
| Extra Large (16") | $23.99 | 340 cal |
Why order it: This is the pizza for people who believe that cheese is a topping. Six different cheeses create a complex, layered flavor profile that you simply can't get from a basic mozzarella pizza. The Asiago and fontina give it a slight sharpness that keeps it from feeling heavy.
Crust Options for Super Loaded Pizzas
Every Super Loaded Pizza can be ordered on any of Papa Johns' available crusts. Here's how each crust changes the experience:
| Crust | Extra Cost | Best Paired With |
|---|---|---|
| Original | Included | The Works, The Meats |
| Thin Crust | Included | Super Hawaiian, Tuscan Six Cheese |
| New York Style | Included | The Meats, BBQ Chicken Bacon |
| Epic Stuffed Crust | +$3.00 | The Works, Fiery Buffalo Chicken |
| Garlic Stuffed Crust | +$3.50 | Tuscan Six Cheese, Super Hawaiian |
💡 Pro tip: The Epic Stuffed Crust upgrade ($3.00) adds warm, gooey mozzarella baked directly into the outer crust. On a pizza as loaded as The Works, this takes the experience from great to unforgettable. It adds approximately 60 calories per slice.
How Super Loaded Pizzas Compare to Classic Pizzas
| Feature | Classic Pizzas | Super Loaded Pizzas |
|---|---|---|
| Toppings per pizza | 1–3 | 4–6 |
| Starting price | From $10.99 | From $14.99 |
| Calories/slice | 180–250 | 210–460 |
| Best for | Everyday meals | Special occasions, sharing |
| Customizable | Yes | Yes |
The price difference between Classic and Super Loaded averages about $4–6 per pizza. When you factor in the extra toppings — which would cost $1.50–$2.00 each if added individually — Super Loaded Pizzas actually deliver better value per topping than building a comparable pizza from scratch.
Which Super Loaded Pizza Should You Order?
Here's a quick guide based on what you're craving:
- I want the classic experience → The Works. It's the benchmark against which all other loaded pizzas should be judged.
- I don't eat vegetables → The Meats. Zero vegetables, maximum protein.
- I want something lighter → Super Hawaiian. Fewest calories on the Super Loaded menu.
- I want bold, smoky flavors → BBQ Chicken Bacon. The BBQ sauce base makes this unlike anything else on the menu.
- I like spicy food → Fiery Buffalo Chicken. Real heat, balanced by the ranch drizzle.
- I love cheese above all else → Fresh Tuscan Six Cheese. Six-cheese blend is genuinely impressive.
Ordering Tips for Super Loaded Pizzas
- Order a size up if you're sharing. Super Loaded Pizzas are heavy and filling — a Large comfortably feeds 3 people, but if you're adding sides, an Extra Large gives everyone more room.
- Add the Epic Stuffed Crust on The Works. This is the single best upgrade you can make. The cheese-stuffed crust completes the "more is more" philosophy of the entire Super Loaded category.
- Pair with Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks. The lighter, herby flavor of the breadsticks balances the intensity of a Super Loaded pizza better than any other Papa Johns sides & dips.
- Use Papa Rewards for free points. Every dollar you spend on Papa Johns earns Papa Dough through the Papa Rewards program. A Large Super Loaded Pizza earns enough points toward a future free side.
- Check for coupons before ordering. Super Loaded Pizzas occasionally appear in combo deals and weekly specials. Always check the latest Papa Johns coupons before placing your order — you can often get a Large Super Loaded for close to Classic Pizza prices.
