SAN FRANCISCO & LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Continuing its quest to provide the best fan experience, Visa, an NFL Sponsor for more than 20 years, announced the availability of Visa Checkout with Papa John’s, the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL.

For a limited time, Visa Checkout and Papa John’s are ensuring fans are well-fed by offering them a new deal: order any Papa John’s pizza on PapaJohns.com and pay using Visa Checkout, and get a free large 1-topping pizza with your next purchase.

“Papa John’s is delivering a better game day ordering experience to customers nationwide with Visa Checkout,” said Steve Ritchie, president and chief operating officer at Papa John’s. “Just like our pizza, this easy checkout process is made with quality ingredients – speed, simplicity and security.”

“Visa Checkout is the perfect topping to any Papa John’s pizza order,” said Sam Shrauger, senior vice president of digital solutions at Visa. “Papa John’s already offers customers an innovative way to order their favorite pizza with their pizza builder, and we’re building on that innovation and giving pizza lovers another way to pay faster than ever.”

In a new Visa ad airing on Fox Network on Sunday, December 4, Pittsburgh Steelers’ Wide Receiver Antonio Brown and the New England Patriots’ Cornerback Malcolm Butler race to the stadium for their big game while using Visa Checkout to order Papa John’s, showing fans the easy checkout process.
