Overview

For over 40 years, we've offered a great value and a superior pizza to our customers and a simple, focused concept for our franchisees. Papa Murphy's take-n-bake concept provides a great franchise opportunity to entrepreneurs that understand pizza is a consumer favorite without the operational hassles of ovens or sit-down dining.

Our pizzas are prepared fresh in every store, every day. Our guests can custom order their toppings or choose from a wide variety of menu options, pick up the unbaked pizzas and cook them at home when they are ready to enjoy a hot pizza right out of their oven.
