Percentages are the share of the FDA Daily Value for adults and children 4 and over, worked out from Papa Johns’ published amounts (how % Daily Value works). A dash means Papa Johns does not publish that value for this size. Not published for this item: added sugars.
Using the FDA’s rule of thumb that 5% of the Daily Value or less per serving is low and 20% or more is high, the Original Crust, Pizza for One size is low in carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber and protein. Add it up with other items in the Papa Johns nutrition calculator.
Papa Johns' calories row for this sauce has eight values for seven columns (25, 20, 25, 35, 35, 35, 25, 20). The Gluten Free value shown here is the last one, 20: on every other row of this table, and for every other sauce on the page, the Gluten Free column matches the Small column, so the extra 25 looks like a stray cell in the source.

Papa Johns says most of its menu is made to order and it cannot guarantee any item is free of the major allergens because of possible cross-contact in its kitchens, and it takes no responsibility for guests with food allergies. Its chart covers the nine major allergens; per-item flags in "May contain" combine two marks the chain uses: produced or stored in a facility that handles the allergen, and may contain or made on the same production lines. The information is based on its standard U.S. recipes, and recipes, ingredients and suppliers can change.
