Papa John's adds some spice

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Papa John's International Inc. has partnered with Cholula Hot Sauce for a limited-time offering.

Now through March 25, every Papa John's large-pizza order will come with a complimentary sample of Cholula Hot Sauce, a hot and spicy blend of pequin peppers, red peppers and spices.

The hot sauce is meant to complement a number of Papa John's menu items, including The Meats and Barbeque Chicken & Bacon specialty pizzas, Papa's Wings, Chicken Strips and Breadsticks.

"Cholula has a well-guarded family recipe that has been thrilling taste buds for three generations. We're confident that our customers will love adding Cholula's zesty kick to their favorite Papa John's items," said Bill Van Epps, Papa John's president, USA.

The Cholula family recipe traces its roots more than 100 years to a small sun-baked outpost named Chapala, an hour away from Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico.
