Papa Johns has added something new to its menu — pizza shells, which are pizza toppings dumped into a crustless plastic bowl, and social media users are less than thrilled with the pizza discarding the crust.

The “Papa Bowls” are slated to launch nationwide next week, but some pizza lovers have already gotten their hands on them, calling the bowl filled with toppings “junk.”

Customers have a choice of three different bowls – Garden Veggie, Chicken Alfredo and Italian Meats Trio.

The Indiana-based restaurant charges $7.99 each and will be offered to all customers on August 22nd, but regular customers were able to get a taste as early as August 15th.

The new form of pizza comes after the restaurant has seen a slump in sales growth in recent years.

Papa Johns said sales at its North American restaurants rose nearly 1 percent in the second quarter, down 5 percent from the same period last year.

This is a drastic difference from sales in 2020, which saw a 28 percent increase.

The chain restaurant hopes that the new take on the classic pizza will bring new excitement to pizza lovers.

Scott Rodriguez, SVP of menu strategy and innovation at Papa Johns, told CNN, “There’s a general thought that there might be a little bit of pizza fatigue, because that’s all we’ve had for the past few years.”

Though many thought the shells were a healthier alternative to pizza, Scott noted that he still wanted to offer people the “pleasure of pizza.”

Another reason the pizza restaurant created the new menu items was to eliminate the “veto vote,” which bans a restaurant because there aren’t enough options for everyone in the party.

And while Papa Johns hoped her new twist would wow pizza lovers, she fared little, sparking outrage from Twitter users.

“To get people excited about pizza again, Papa Johns is selling a bowl of wet trash,” wrote one user.

Another user added, “If you thought Papa Johns was as bad as pizza, we shoved all of the crust into a bowl.”

“Papa Johns is rubbish. Why would pizza-in-a-bowl nonsense be preferred?” commented another user.

One user added: “A lot of people are obsessed with pizza. Far fewer are thrilled with Papa Johns, no matter how you slice it. And literally no one has ever said, “I want pizza,” and then eaten it out of a bowl.”

Another user added: “I got the Papa Johns pizza shells partly out of curiosity and partly because yes you can develop a gluten allergy late in life and they are exactly what they are believed to be. You scrape all the toppings off a pizza and place it in a bowl. Not even half full. Overpriced.’
