Rated No. 2 for Top Food in the Large Chains category in the 2010 Zagat Fast-Food Survey, Papa Murphy’s serves up a tasty menu of handmade Take ‘N’ Bake pizzas created using dough, cheeses, meats, and veggies that are freshly prepared every day. After customers choose their pies, Papa Murphy’s slice slingers build the pizzas in-store and package them for customers to bake at home in the oven, in a pottery kiln, or over a pile of burning cookbooks. Customers can select one of Papa Murphy’s signature pizzas or customize their ‘za to more specific tastes, choosing from the four sauces, three crusts, and more than 20 toppings available.

Watch as Papa Murphy’s pie pros corral the ingredients of a signature pizza such as the Cowboy, complete with pepperoni, italian sausage, mushrooms, and black olives ($14 for 16” family size), or request a thin-crust herb chicken mediterranean deLite, smothered with feta cheese, olive oil, and spinach ($10 for 14” large). Veggievores can avail themselves of Papa Murphy’s gourmet vegetarian option, which comes slathered in a creamy garlic sauce ($14 for family size), and deep-dish fans dive into Chicago-style stuffed pizzas, packed with onions, mozzarella, four kinds of meat, and one of the largest public-transit systems in America ($15 for family size). Sides such as a garden salad ($4), an order of cheesy bread ($3), or a 2-liter soda ($2) serve as the final pieces in an irregularly shaped pizza puzzle.
