There are a hundred pizza chains going, and of course what makes Papa Murphy's different is that you bake the pizza at home. But it is good pizza, a good value, and made quickly and fresh.
Plusses: They really load up on toppings, especially on the cheeses, but also the rest. The crust is a nice medium thick, just enough comfort food mouth feel. If you aren't getting a discount, you aren't trying. They put coupons on the insert you get with the pizza, they advertise in the Star & Val-Pac, and you can print them on your home computer. Not greasy unless you get two or more meats, but if you order that, you have to be expecting a greasy result.
Minuses: The sauce is a bit bland. They could stand to jazz it up with more herbs, more garlic and/or some red pepper.
Plusses far outweigh the minuses. I love to order a plain cheese pizza from them this time of year, when my tomatoes and basil are ready. Really perfect.
If you read any of my info, you'll notice i like to toy around in the kichen throwing dough is one of my favorite past times. but when i'm in a pinch and need a quick cheap pizza, papa murphy's runs a close second. My wife and I love the delight Herb Chicken Mediterranean deLITE®...wow! you know, now that i'm thinking about it, this is sometimes even better than the ones i make. the olive oil/garlic base with the feta and sun dried tomatoes with fresh spinach leaves create a crescendo of flavor. i could seriously eat 3 of these pizzas by myself.
the service is what you would expect from a short order take home pizza place. mostly teenagers, but they have always been quick and nice so no complaints here.
if you're in the mood for pizza and don't want to make one from scratch (or pay a buttload) check this place out, it is almost the same price as a frozen pie, but significantly better!!!!
This location has a drive-up window... great for when you call your order in ahead of time! Â Also, this one is the only Papa Murphy's I've been to whose pizzas are always round (never wonky). Â Nice employees, too!
Another plus at this location: a frequent-buyer stamp card!
We like the De-Lite pizzas, and the creamy garlic sauce can be a tasty change from the usual red.
