Pizza might sound simple as a concept, but it's a complicated beast in the kitchen and hitting all these notes is surprisingly rare, especially in the chain restaurant world. While pizza quality is inherently subjective, when it comes to pepperoni pies, there are some universal truths we can all agree on. The perfect pepperoni pizza has evenly distributed pepperoni rounds, sliced thin with a slightly crispy edge, the ideal cheese-to-sauce ratio, and a balanced crust that's light but chewy.

I'm a firm believer that no pizza-filled movie night is complete without a few classic pizza chain sides - a Caesar salad, some garlic knots, or, the most classic of them all, good old-fashioned cheesy bread. In fact, sometimes the cheesy bread, while simple and unsuspecting, ends up being the star of the show. You just have to know where to look.

This collaboration introduces the 'Cini Dirty Soda,' a DIY drink kit that marries Mountain Dew with Papa Johns' pepperoncini, sparking curiosity and creativity.
