The product, priced at $7.99, will feature pizza toppings inside a bowl with no crust. However, the bowls are already gaining criticism from internet users, who don't seem on board with the idea. In fact, a Twitter user went ahead and asked people to simply "avoid" the item altogether. Their Tweet said: Matthew Petz@matthewpetzPapa John’s new crustless pizza bowls are basically awful fast food casseroles. My recommendation is avoid them -Papa John’s new crustless pizza bowls are basically awful fast food casseroles. My recommendation is avoid them - The Pizza Bowls are currently only available for Papa John's loyalty members, but casual customers can get their hands on the product from August 22. Papa John s claims that their Pizza Bowls are made for customers who crave something different Papa Johns Pizza@PapaJohnsIntroducing Papa Bowls. All your favorite toppings. Without the crust.14830Introducing Papa Bowls. All your favorite toppings. Without the crust. https://t.co/OgrcfAKHFs The bowls will contain baked pizza toppings like vegetables, meat and cheese, inside a bowl. As of now, it comes in three varieties: Italian Meats TrioChicken AlfredoGarden Veggie Buyers will also have the option to customize their pizza bowl ingredients. Scott Rodriguez, Senior Vice President of menu strategy and product innovation for the company, shared the inspiration behind the item by saying: "Our signature crust continues to be a beloved favorite, but we know that sometimes customers crave something different." He also added: "There's a general thought that there could be a little bit of pizza fatigue, because that's all we've had for the last couple of years." Rodriguez offered further insights into the product as well. Since the ingredients in the bowl are already present in the franchise's food joints, adding new items made with those existing ingredients helps avoid supply chain surprises, thereby enabling them to assure a continued availability of the product. The item was supposed to launch six months ago, but was delayed because the company couldn't find the packaging it needed. Internet users troll Pizza Bowls on Twitter Netizens do not seem too keen on this new idea. Many Twitter users slammed the company and the food item, with some calling the idea "stupid," and labeling pizzas from the brand as being "disgusting." NaMeCaNnOtBeBlAnK@lisards@BJAllenWrites @CNN Papa John's cheese and toppings are disgusting, and I don't believe their sauce even exists. The only thing likeable is their crust and I figured out how to make it at home.

Vir Cotto@VirCotto22I tried the Papa John's pizza bowls partlly out of curiosity and partly because yes, you can develop a gluten allergy late in life, and they're exactly what you think they are. They scrape all the toppings off a pizza and put them in a bowl. Not even halfway full.

Another user shared a similar sentiment and said that the Pizza Bowl is more than likely to be "plastic bowls" filled with pizza toppings that are microwaved before serving. They added that people could get similar items at the supermarket and labeled the new product as a "scam." Jack'sHouseOfPancakes@RegimeChangeIncAbout the Papa John’s Pizza Bowls. Notice the microwaveable plastic “bowls”. That’s obviously how they’ll be “cooked”. By microwave. You’ll be paying a lot more for the same frozen microwave meal you can get from a supermarket.

This is not the first time that Papa John's has shuffled items on its menu. Last year, it added a pepperoni-stuffed crust pizza and a New York-style pizza to the cards for a limited amount of time.
