Pizza brand releases details about new TV spot, film integration,
sweepstakes and latest pizza offer

LOUISVILLE, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Papa
John’s International, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PZZA), has teamed up with Sony
Pictures on the reboot of the iconic film, Ghostbusters. In
addition to Papa John’s pizza making a tasty cameo at a vacant Chinese
restaurant serving as Ghostbusters headquarters, the brand is
offering an XL Dual Layer Pepperoni pizza for only $12 delivered in a Ghostbusters
themed pizza box featuring “honorary” Ghostbuster Papa John, alongside
the ECTO-1.

Additionally, the new Papa John’s TV spot introduces new Ghostbuster –
Papa John – along with one of the brand’s “best customers” – Slimer.
America’s favorite pizza maker delivers a stack of XL Dual Layer
Pepperoni pizzas to Slimer, only to get slimed for his efforts. The Papa
John’s TV spot will air primarily across national cable entertainment
and sports networks including AMC, ESPN, and Comedy Central.

“The original Ghostbusters film debuted in 1984, the same year I opened
the first ever Papa John’s location,” said “Papa John” Schnatter,
Founder, Chairman and CEO of Papa John’s. “Over 30 years later we are
able to reveal one of the secrets of our success – Slimer loves Papa
John’s pizza!”

But don’t take Slimer’s word for it; consumers rated Papa John’s No. 1
in customer satisfaction and product quality among all national pizza
chains in the 2016 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). In 2016
consumers have also recognized Papa John’s industry leading efforts and
financial investment of $100
million
to improve its ingredients. Papa John’s is the first
national pizza delivery chain to announce the removal of: preservatives
like MSG, BHA and BHT; cellulose and partially hydrogenated oils;
artificial flavors and synthetic colors and the removal of high fructose
corn syrup across the entire food menu.

Papa’s XL Dual Layer Pepperoni pizza features 10 big slices of our
fresh, hand-tossed original dough covered in our signature pizza sauce,
and topped with premium pepperoni and another layer of deli-style
pepperoni, cheese and Italian Herb seasonings. Papa’s XL Dual Layer
