Papa Murphy’s

I used to grab a pizza from here nearly every Friday night, but the last time I went, the man who made my pizza was so incredibly rude that I haven't been back. First of all, he repeatedly told me that I had not placed on online order despite me having the order confirmation and the charge on my credit card on my phone screen right in front of him. Then he told me that I had obviously placed an order at the wrong location since they didn't have my order, despite the order confirmation in my hand showing the same address that I was currently standing in. He finally found my order and told me it would just take a minute to make, then proceeded to make orders for several people who had walked in after me. After he finally made my order, at which point I could have probably made my own entirely homemade pizza for how long this was taking, he told me that what I had ordered was gross and he wouldn't eat it. The younger staff at this location are great. They've always been polite and they've always made my orders correctly and on time. This older man ruined this Papa Murphy's location for me.

Listen, we didn't live in TN or near a Papa M. When I would visit my parents in knoxville I"d be like, I don't get that place at all. They don't deliver, they don't cook it, you pay the price or more than pizza hut pizza basically (usually they are cheaper than papa J still) and you still have to drive, get the pizza, bake the pizza, cut the pizza (etc.) what an odd concept... Then I moved. One mile from a papa M. We decided - you know what? Let's give it one chance. I turned on the oven, husband picked up a meat one - then this huge (he got family size for 3 of us) pizza shows up --- delicate to get into oven -- but sturdier coming out as crust is crisp and firm then -- covered in plastic wrap ....sigh... but then it cooked and I tried it --- hands down a million times better than papa J and pizza hut can't hold a candle. We just had our second one last night, tried our first ever stuffed one -- I legitimately could only eat a slice it was so big, so full of meats, so delicious ...... I am a convert - full on convert -- I get it now. Such freshness and so tasty. We have only also had really friendly services at this location. My son and husband picked up a 5 meat stuffed from a Tyler (or Trevor maybe? sorry I can't remember the name) last night (Tall, thin guy with a goatee) and he did a fantastic job with the pizza - apparently he also made ours last time - and he was super nice! We will be back!
