Choosing Our Pizza @ Papa Murphy's in Mesa, Arizona

Papa Murphy's Pizza is on
the QSR Top 50 Fast Food 
Restaurants by Sales List.












This restaurant is different from all the others Eric and I have visited.  The Pizza isn't baked at the restaurant.  Customers take the prepared Pizza home and bake it in their own ovens.

Papa Murphy's is selling a

heart-shaped Sweetheart

Pizza during February.

The Cold Case has 

Bottled Water &

2-Liter Bottles of

Soda.

Eric & I study the menu.

Whatever Pizza we order must

must be 12 inches in diameter.

There's a Gluten-Free Crust
option.

Joe explains that our
options are limited
to the Medium
size Pizza Menu.











Eric and I decide on the Signature Papa's Favorite Pizza made Red Sauce, Pepperoni, Sausage, Ground Beef, Mixed Onions, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Black Olives.

Joe tells us that many customers order 12-inch Medium Pizzas because their ovens are small.

We look over the Grab-N-Go

 Case:

Scratch-Made 5 Cheese Bread

Desserts: Cinnamon Wheel,

Cookies, S'mores Dessert Pizza

Salads

Mini Murph Kid's Size Pizza

Make & Bake Kits

Papa Murphy's sells
Pizza Cutters.

Joe built our Pizza, added

Baking Instructions &

wrapped it up tightly

for the ride home.

A close up of the 

Baking Instructions

Our unwrapped Pizza sits on the

the counter, letting the dough rise

 while our Microwave/Convection

 Oven heats up.

We don't have a rack in our Oven, so our Pizza will bake on the tray provided by the restaurant.  I don't expect the bottom crust will become very crispy.....  Into the oven it goes for 12 to 18 minutes.

15 minutes later the Pizza Crust 

is golden brown & ready to be

removed from the Oven.

The cooking directions state that the Pizza has to sit for 5 minutes before cutting...  

As expected, the bottom of the Pizza isn't crispy.  The fresh toppings are delicious and the crust is perfectly baked.  

Eric and I rate the Pizza, with its generous toppings, above average.  Baking a freshly prepared Pizza at home isn't our thing.  We won't be returning to Papa Murphy's Pizza
