Papa Johns is launching its first collection of cool, collectible and cleaner NFTs as part of the metaverse’s biggest ever NFT giveaway. There are nine NFT designs, inspired by a Papa Johns’ pizza delivery hot bag, which will drop on several dates throughout March.
With its collection of 19,840 NFT Hot Bags, created in the fashion metaverse, Papa Johns is making 2022’s most coveted digital asset – NFTs – available and redeemable here for free.
Please click here to read the step-by-step redemption guide. If this is your first-ever NFT, you will need to start at step 1, downloading a Tezos-compatible crypto wallet. If you already own a Tezos-compatible crypto wallet, such as Kukai or Temple, skip to ‘sync your wallet’.
You can redeem one NFT per crypto wallet. If you wish to acquire further NFTs, (e.g. to obtain the entire collection of nine), you will need to download an additional crypto wallet per NFT. Alternatively, you can purchase (or trade for) other Papa Johns NFT Hot Bags on an NFT marketplace such as objkt.com, subject to that marketplace’s specified terms and conditions.
The NFT transfer can take up to an hour and will happen automatically once initiated. You can navigate away from the microsite or log off – your NFT will still find its way to you.
As free NFTs, the digital tokens will have no immediate or intrinsic monetary value when they drop. However, as the NFTs are sold and traded, driven by demand to acquire a Papa Johns NFT Hot Bag, they may acquire a value.
Papa Johns has no control over value increases or decreases of the NFTs. As with any blockchain assets, these and any cryptocurrency used to purchase or otherwise associated with any onwards trading of the NFTs are extremely volatile and may be subject to large fluctuations. Fluctuations in the price of other digital assets could also adversely affect the NFTs, as could legislative and regulatory changes (both local and international).
No, unfortunately once the NFT is redeemed from this site, it cannot be returned. However, there are options to trade and sell your NFT – read the question below.
Yes, NFTs can be sold or put up for auction on a Tezos-powered NFT marketplace such as objkt.com, or sent to someone else’s Tezos-compatible crypto wallet as a gift. Your wallet will need to contain cryptocurrency in order to sell, auction or gift an NFT, and any onwards transfer will be subject to the specified terms and conditions of that particular marketplace.
You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in this promotion.
Papa Johns is giving away 19,840 NFTs, available to redeem here for free. This makes it the metaverse’s biggest NFT giveaway to date (correct as of March 2022). Why 19,840, you ask? This number has special significance to Papa Johns – our company was founded in 1984.
No, the NFTs will drop on selected dates throughout March. Drop dates will be announced via Papa Johns’ social media channels in your country.
NFT stands for ‘non-fungible token’, a unique digital asset that can be acquired and sold, like any other piece of property, but which has no tangible form on its own. As a digital token, NFTs can also be considered as certificates of ownership for virtual or physical assets.
Papa Johns’ NFTs have been minted on Tezos, an energy-efficient blockchain. With drastically lower energy consumption, Tezos offers standard-setting energy efficiency– consuming over two million times less energy than popular Proof of Work networks. In fact, the total annual carbon footprint of the Tezos blockchain is reported to be the equivalent to the average energy footprint of 17 people. Moreover, the low gas costs on Tezos provide for a seamless user experience that allows anyone to mint, host, and trade NFTs with minimal barriers to entry.
Most Proof of Work blockchains are very inefficient and wasteful by design. They can use millions of times more energy than modern Proof of Stake blockchains like Tezos. By comparison, creating and trading NFTs on Tezos takes around the same amount of energy as sending an email or a social media post.
A crypto wallet is a digital wallet that allows you to securely access any cryptocurrency you own. The wallet itself doesn’t hold any actual cryptocurrency, but it holds the public and private key information needed to carry out crypto transactions. The cryptocurrency itself is stored on a blockchain.
A blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. An asset can be tangible (a house, car, cash, land) or intangible (intellectual property – including NFTs, patents, copyrights, branding).
Tezos is smart money, redefining what it means to hold and exchange value in a digitally connected world. A self-upgradable and energy-efficient Proof of Stake blockchain with a proven track record, Tezos seamlessly adopts tomorrow's innovations without network disruptions today.

Papa Johns partnered with two talented NFT designers; Tom Hoff and Ash Sketch. Tom was born in Santiago, Chile but currently lives in Barcelona, Spain. Ash is based in London. Head to the homepage to read their biographies.
The ‘Papa 1984’ NFT bag takes its design cues from the Gen Z trend for insulated streetwear, with echoes of the heat-preserving technology in pizza hot bags, blended here as a unique fashion accessory.
The ‘Papa Cheese Melt’ and Papa Tag’ NFT bags incorporate street art graffiti graphics with dance fashion styling, to spotlight the hip-hop scene from around the same time Papa Johns opened its doors in 1984.
We took cues from street culture, fashion and Papa Johns’ company story to name the bags.
Yes, a very exclusive drop of five real Papa 1984, Papa Cheese Melt and Papa Tag bags will go on sale via Depop, the fashion marketplace, on 7 March 2022. Once they’re gone, they’re gone – so you will need to move fast!
