Papa John's 'yuck' new flavour range divides pizza fans

Papa John's fans have been left divided by a new flavour range the pizza delivery company shared online.

The new 'Branston Pickle' range is available for a 'limited time only' and includes Branston Pickle cheese sticks and stuffed crust on a large cheese and tomato pizza only. Vegan options are also available for both choices.

Pizza fans were quick to share their opinion on the controversial topping, and the post soon racked up plenty of likes and comments. The Branston Pickle flavour seemed to divide Papa John's fans, with some labelling the new addition as 'yuck'.

One pizza fan said: "Haven't we been through enough?" To which Papa John's replied: "Not a pickle fan?"

A second said: "Is it April fools day?" A third added: "Holy God."

However, some pizza lovers were quick to praise the new flavour. One tagged their friend and said: "I need this is in my life." A second pizza fan said: "Yesssssssssssss pleaseeeeeee! [loveheart eye emoji]."

In the Papa John's blog, the pizza company advised Branston Pickle fans that they can order the new range in the form of cheese sticks, vegan cheese sticks and a large cheese and tomato pizza (a vegan option is also available). They can also mix it up with a large 'create your own' pizza with the Branston Pickle stuffed crust.

The Branston Pickle cheese sticks are priced at £6.49 for a single portion and the stuffed crust option will cost £2.99.
