Papa Murphy's

When the kids were small, Papa Murphy's pizza were Godsends - being able to purchase a pre-prepared freshly made by hand pizza to throw into the over later in the evening was such a time-saver! But the kids are long gone now, and so recently I wanted to see if much had changed at Papa Murphy's. It hadn't! I tried a "stock" pizza off their newer menu - a deep dish "Chicago Style" pizza. I was intrigued. $22, which included a tip, and prepared for me in about 5 minutes while I waited. I ordered the largest size, a "Family Size" deep dish. The pizza was about 5 lbs of ingredients, and the staff carefully walked me through how to bake it. Fantastic people there! The pizza baked great, as my photos show. What you can't see is that we added sauercraut to the top (cause it goes well with beer), and also some bacon bits I had handy. The pizza "puffed up" as it baked, to be about 2 inches thick!!!! Seriously, a LOT of pizza. I have had 3 meals with it already! Next time, probably not a "family size" for 2 people, unless you like left-overs! I give Papa Murphy's on Cliff Road high marks for speed of preparation of my pizza, cleanliness, great and helpful staff, and unique business model. It is so helpful to have a pizza ready to go into the oven when you want it to! I will certainly go back! I'm happy that I tried the deep dish option first. Next time, thin crust!

Papa Murphy's is such a great idea - we love that we can pick up a pizza early and then just keep it in the fridge until we want to bake it, or bake it right away. This location is a good location, the employees are friendly and make the pizzas in a timely manner, and the pizzas always taste great! They do close kind of early though.
