On Thursday we had the pleasure of attending Spotify’s annual Best New Artist Party at The Lot at Formosa in Los Angeles. This annual celebration spotlights the 8 artists nominated for The Grammy Awards’ Best New Artist category. The night was filled with amazing musical performances by this year’s nominees, complimentary cocktails, multiple photo booths and delicious food, but the highlight was by far the innovative Spray Bar courtesy of Magnum Ice Cream.

Not only did guests enjoy customizing these sweet treats, it provided a nice cool down in between the high-energy performances. Additionally there were a plethora of food stations including mini pizzas, tacos, burgers and limitless drinks. Hilton had an entire suite dedicated to their partnership with Spotify including complimentary key cards, a photo booth, custom cocktails and lite bites.
The performances kicked off with Grammy-Award winning Leon Thomas, up for 6 nominations this year. The audience went crazy for his live version of “Mutt,” followed by a stunning performance by Lola Young and an amazing set by The Marias. Lola Young’s emotional live performance of “Sad Sob Story” was everything and more. Alex Warren, Katseye and Sombr did not disappoint. Katseye slayed with their impeccable choreography and high-energy dance moves for hits like “Gnarly”. Addison Rae turned up the heat with her back-up dancers and performed breakout hit “Diet Pepsi.” Olivia Dean closed out the night and sang her viral record “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” leaving guests wanting more.

An exclusive tasting of the new Papa Johns Pan Pizza was held in New York City at the VIP First Bite Experience at FlyFish NYC, bringing together journalists, influencers, and content creators to sample the highly anticipated menu item.
The Knockturnal was also invited to cover the event and get a first-hand look at what makes this pizza different. Guests were able to watch the pizzas being crafted, learn about the inspiration behind the recipe, and experience the textures and flavors that Papa Johns has been refining for nearly a decade. The atmosphere was lively, with attendees sharing their reactions, taking photos, and getting a sense of the thought and care that went into every layer of the pizza.
Starting Thursday, January 29, fans nationwide will be able to enjoy the new Pan Pizza, which combines crispy, caramelized edges with a pillowy, airy center and a rich six-cheese blend. Jenna Bromberg, Chief Marketing Officer of Papa Johns, explained that the relaunch is the result of nearly ten years of development. She said the brand took a consumer-focused approach, making sure every detail of the pizza met high expectations for flavor and quality. Bromberg added that this is more than just a menu item returning as it is a reimagined pan pizza that honors its nostalgic roots while delivering a bolder, more indulgent experience that feels distinctly Papa Johns.
The new Pan Pizza is built to deliver a rich and satisfying experience from crust to topping. The thick, fluffy crust has an airy interior, and parmesan cheese and Papa Johns’ special garlic sauce are baked into the bottom of the pan for a golden, caramelized finish with a savory, crispy crunch. The pizza is topped with a six-cheese blend made from mozzarella, provolone, fontina, asiago, parmesan, and romano. It is designed to hold up to seven edge-to-edge toppings and finished with a light dusting of Italian seasoning. The pizza contains no artificial colors or flavors, letting the natural richness of the ingredients shine.
In a mini review, I think the Pan Pizza tastes noticeably different from the usual Papa Johns offerings. The combo of caramelized edges, airy interior, and indulgent cheese makes it feel like I am eating a Detroit-styled pizza and that is a good thing in my opinio n. It is richer and bolder than expected, with a flavor and texture that is very satisfying. The relaunch shows that even a classic pizza can evolve to meet modern tastes while staying true to the nostalgia fans love, making this Pan Pizza a must-try for anyone looking for something familiar yet new.
