Is Papa John's Halal in the UK?

Also asked as: “Is Papa John's chicken halal?” · “Which Papa John's stores are halal?”

What to check

• A halal certificate in the store or on its listing page.
• Whether pork toppings are prepared on the same counter.
• Dips and sides, which usually contain no meat.

How to check a branch

Look for a halal certificate on display and check its date, check the chain's own website or app, and ask staff which items are halal and how they are cooked. Franchise branches can differ from each other.

What we found about Papa Johns

We found no halal statement from Papa Johns UK. A halal guide says selected UK stores use halal chicken toppings certified by the Halal Food Authority and that pepperoni at most stores is pork, with some halal stores using beef pepperoni. It cites no Papa Johns source for this.

Because it varies by store, ask your store which toppings are halal, who certifies them and whether pork is cooked in the same oven.
