Papa Murphys 5185 W Baseline Rd, Phoenix

Papa Murphy's was born out of its founder's frustration with bad pizza from chains, which often tasted as if every ingredient had been canned or frozen. To change the industry, staffers at Papa Murphy's toss every fresh ingredient onto the crust in front of customers' eyes. And unlike other professionally made pies, these are Take 'N' Bake pizzas, meaning the customer cooks them at home.

Visitors can customize their pizza or select one of Papa Murphy's signature creations, which range from meat-filled stuffed crust to vegetarian varieties. For appetizers and desserts, they order cheesy bread or raw cookie dough ripe for baking, resulting in every course being served fresh from the oven.
