Pizza lovers in nine international markets are getting a taste of Papa Johns’ latest menu innovation—the all-new Croissant Pizza.
According to the brand, the Croissant Pizza pairs the delicate, flaky texture of a buttery croissant with Papa Johns’ pizza flavors. And to make sure it gets delivered “in cutting-edge artistic style,” Papa Johns has teamed up with KidSuper to design a limited-edition hot bag: the Papa Johns x Kid Super Hot Bag.
The Croissant Pizza, which can be personalized with a choice of toppings, will make its first appearance in the UAE.
Chris Lyn-Sue, SVP managing director of international at Papa Johns said, “As a brand built on innovation, distinction and quality, we’re always looking to global food culture for inspiration—and turning it into exciting new experiences that stand out. We conducted extensive research to understand what consumers wanted from our next global innovation. Croissant Pizza scored highly across all markets.”
“We also explored the rise of croissant mashups in food culture—from the ‘cronut’ to the ‘crookie’—and saw an opportunity to bring that same innovation to pizza,” Lyn-Sue added. “After a year in development, we’re proud to unite two beloved icons into one craveable, delicious product that brings something fresh and exciting to the QSR category.”
KidSuper “brings a playful yet elevated approach” to the custom-designed Papa Johns hot bag, created exclusively for the Croissant Pizza. The bag’s woven strap mirrors the handcrafted, tightly braided crust of the pizza, the zipper delicately curves in a crescent shape, and the soft edges mimic the fluffy folds of the iconic pastry.
The Papa Johns x KidSuper Hot Bag will make its official debut later this month during Paris Fashion Week Men’s Spring/Summer 2026 (SS26), as part of the KidSuper show.
As the Croissant Pizza launches across the globe, the Papa Johns x KidSuper Hot Bag will hit runways, beaches and exhibitions in select markets. Select customers in these destinations who order the Croissant Pizza may receive their delivery in the exclusive Papa Johns x KidSuper Hot Bag—and if it arrives at their door, it’s theirs to keep.
For Colm Dillane, designer and founder of KidSuper, the collaboration goes beyond fashion. “KidSuper is a challenger brand—built on creativity, risk and staying true to the soul of what we do,” he said. “Papa Johns is the same. This isn’t just another pizza launch—they’re pushing boundaries with creativity and craftmanship. Whether you are baking a crust or chalking a cut, the process matters.”
The Croissant Pizza is available now across the UAE from June 10 and will be available for a limited time in participating markets from Korea and China to Chile and Peru.
