Papa John’s Senior Discount
Quick answer: Papa John’s doesn’t give money off just for your age. If you’re an AARP member (you can join at 50), you get 20% off regular menu prices when you order online or in the app. It doesn’t cover delivery fees, and it usually won’t stack with sale deals.
Does Papa John’s have a senior discount?
Not an age-based one. You won’t get a discount at the counter or on the phone for being 55 or 60, and the old “25% off online for seniors” deal this page used to describe is gone. The deal that took its place is through AARP, and at 20% it’s one of the biggest restaurant perks AARP offers right now.
Papa John’s AARP discount: how it works
- 20% off regular menu prices. It comes off the normal price of pizzas, sides, wings and desserts.
- Online orders only. Use papajohns.com or the Papa John’s app. Phone and walk-in orders don’t qualify.
- No discount on fees. Delivery fees, tax and tip are charged in full.
- Not for sale items. Limited-time specials and bundles that are already marked down usually don’t get the extra 20%.
- Not on delivery apps. Orders through DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub don’t count.
How to use it, step by step
- Sign in at aarp.org and open the Papa John’s page under Member Benefits, Restaurants.
- Click through from AARP to Papa John’s so the member pricing is applied (AARP’s page has the current instructions).
- Build your order from the regular menu and check that the 20% shows up before you pay.
If the discount doesn’t appear, you’ve usually added a special deal. Swap it for the regular menu version and check the total again.
Is the AARP deal better than a Papa John’s promo code?
Not always. Papa John’s runs its own online deals all the time, like a set price for a large pizza or a combo bundle. Those can beat 20% off a regular order, especially if you’re feeding a few people. Our tip: price your order both ways. Put it together with the AARP discount, then check the Deals page and compare the final total. Be careful with “promo code” websites. Many list old codes that don’t work anymore.
Papa John’s menu: what you can order
The AARP discount works across the regular menu, which includes:
- Pizzas: the classic pepperoni and cheese, specialty pies like The Works and Garden Fresh, plus thin crust and a gluten-free crust at many stores.
- Papadias: folded flatbread sandwiches, a good size for one person.
- Sides: breadsticks, garlic knots, cheesesticks and wings.
- Desserts: the chocolate chip cookie and cinnamon treats.
Prices change by location, so we don’t list them here. Pick your store on the Papa John’s website or app to see what you’ll actually pay.
Other ways seniors can save at Papa John’s
- Papa Rewards. It’s free. You earn 1 point per dollar, and every 10 points turns into $1 in Papa Dough you can spend on any menu item.
- Carryout. Picking up your order skips the delivery fee, which the AARP discount doesn’t cover anyway.
- Size up and save leftovers. A large pizza usually costs much less per slice than a small one and reheats well.
