Papa John’s Opens Kosher Pizzeria in Jerusalem

Jerusalem kosher pizza lovers now have a major chain option on their radar. Papa John’s Israel has opened a kosher mehadrin-certified location near the Hebrew University campus, bringing the international pizza brand into the Jerusalem kosher dining scene with a full Rabbanut Yerushalayim Mehadrin hashgacha.

Location Near Hebrew University

The branch is located on Yeshayahu Leibovitch Street 28 on the Hebrew University campus in Jerusalem, making it a convenient option for students, faculty, and visitors to Givat Ram. The area around the university has a steady stream of kosher-observant diners looking for accessible options, and a recognized international brand with full mehadrin supervision fills that need well.

Papa John’s Kosher Israel Expansion

Papa John’s Israel operates multiple locations across the country, with some certified kosher and others not. The chain opened its first kosher location in Israel in Petach Tikva 5 years ago. The Jerusalem Hebrew University branch joins the chain’s growing kosher-certified footprint in Israel. For visitors to Jerusalem or locals in the area, it’s worth noting that not every Papa John’s in Israel carries kosher certification, so always verify before ordering at any other branch.

As a dairy restaurant, the menu covers the full Papa John’s pizza lineup without meat, fitting naturally into the kosher dairy fast-casual category that works well for a university-area location serving a diverse kosher crowd.
