Papa John's U.K. Hopes Its Ostrich-Meat Pizza Really Takes Off
The United Kingdom arm of beleaguered pizza purveyor Papa John's is celebrating the return of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! with a limited edition pizza topped with ostrich meat crumble. Perhaps you have questions? I have 10 answers.
- Yes, the American version of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! was cancelled back in 2010; it's not back over here. Just there.
- It films in Australia. Ostriches are not native to Australia, but they're there, all the same.
- No, they are not endangered. Papa John's has quite enough bad press, you think they'd make a pizza topped with an endangered species?
- The cast includes Captain Jack Harkness—sorry, I mean John Barrowman—and a bunch of people I've never heard of, but I have to admit I'm not up on my British soaps.
- Well, according to Papa John's, it has a "mild meaty aroma with hints of herbs and spices topped with colourful red and green peppers, red onions and a generous helping of signature mozzarella," and "is sure to leave you wanting more."
- Yes, it is a stretch, but they say it is "enough to make you shout 'I'm a pizza fan, get me to Papa John's.'" Kinda like the name of the show? Get it?
- According to Takeout editor Kevin Pang, "Like chicken."
- I mean, it depends, how hungry am I?
- £18.99.
- Pisces.
