Papa Murphy’s

The gentlemen that served us the evening was extremely professional and made an amazing pizza. They were also ever knowledgeable about the establishment. Great job guys!

Never had a Papa Murphy’s Pizza before. I’m in Berkeley and they don’t have one around this way. So I’m watching TV on a rainy day and I see the $ 10 Tuesday commercial and the pizza looks so good, so I decide to get one, except the closest location is 10 miles from me in Pinole. The the deal was too good to miss, so I got into my car and drove in the heavy rain & wind to experience take & bake pizza.
It was totally worth it! The employees at this location were so nice, they made the pizza quickly, and told me how to cook it. And how did it taste? It was REALLY good! This pizza from one of my local pizzarias would have cost me over $ 20!
So I’ll be making that drive up I-​80 every Tuesday to get this deal!!!

WOW! I have heard such great things about Papa Murphy’s, but I was worried; I have a normal oven surely I can’t replicate some pizza place’s oven.
I was so wrong! I used the awesome instructions they give with each prepared Pizza and my Stuffed Crust Chicago Style came out with the best dough I have had on a Pizza! I usually trash the crust ends but I found myself eating the crust before the rest of the pizza.
The dough is amazing you can tell they put love into it, the toppings are fresh and amazing, the sauce nice, the meat great!
For 15 dollars I took home a pizza that tasted like I should have went to SF and spent 40 to 50 dollars.
And the service, wow amazing and so nice. These guys know what they are doing and seem to love where they work. The location is such a small unassuming little store next to a subway and I just can’t get over the service. You guys totally rock! Whoever was working Sunday Dec 27^th in the 11 am to afternoon deserves points.
We were gonna get Pizza at Costco and the wait was like an hour and the girl freaked out when I mentioned what I had heard about Papa Murphy’s.
I can’t wait to do 10 dollar Tuesday (any size any pizza). This place is leggit and I have lived in NYC and SF. Makes me happy I moved to the burbs :)
Much Love

Only reason I’m giving a 2 star is because the manager decided to yell at the girl working the register in front of everyone. Makes my blood boil at how embarrassing she was being. My pizza was good service was good. Manager must need some improvement in treating her employees

The pizza is really fresh and delicious but the staff takes a real long time. at San Leandro there are only two staff and you get your pizza instantly. Here there are 4 plus someone hanging in the shadows in the back and it take 20+ minutes. So strange.

Very friendly staff. Store always seems clean. One of my go to places when I’m too lazy to cook, want left overs and don’t want fast food. I’ve never been disappointed here. I always call my order in at least 20 minutes before I plan on picking it up. Great take and bake pizza.

This is a very efficient store. In and out service, convenient too. Pizza is made from good ingredients and tastes fresh every time. In this town, fresh is hard to find. I love the Pepperoni or Chicken Artichoke.

Why wouldnt you want to take home a pizza you can bake yourself and eat fresh and hot out the oven? This chain makes the tastiest pizza’s. They aren’t shy with the toppings either. All it takes is 5 mins to throw together, 20 mins in the oven and its ready to eat. Love the stuffed pizza!

Very happy with them. Great pizza. Everything seem fresh. The girls at the counter are always pleasant and don’t mind chit chatting with my talkative husband. They are very patient with him. ;)
We usually order a stuffed meat pizza for the The Man, and I like the thin crust chicken with garlic and artichokes (I forget what its called even though its the same one I order every time).
You pick up what you want, go home, heat up the oven and inside ½ hour you are eating fresh straight from the oven pizza.

Small and tucked away near the Luckys and K-​Mart, this little place is not half bad. If post more if there was more to talk about, but honestly the service was only a «hello, here’s your pizza, goodbye» which isn’t really a bad thing, but it isn’t really a good thing either.
The inside sort of feels like a narrow little cave, and it just doesn’t seem very inviting at all.

I don’t eat pizza often (maybe twice a year) but actually this place is not bad. It’s better than Pizza Hut and Round Table because I taste quality over grease and salt. I prefer the thin crust and white sauce with lots of veggies. My mom used to get pizzas from here when I was younger because they always has coupons but I’ve changed my diet a lot and this place no longer has a place in it. Still, it’s a better choice than most surrounding establishments.

This store is usually good. We normally take out a few times a month. All the old staff is gone. The new staff are horsing around. Very small line took almost 30 min to get my order they seem totally clueless and have no idea about customer service. If this keeps up I won’t be back.

I normally go to the Vallejo store, which is great, but yesterday I was working in Pinole so I thought I’d give the Pinole store a try.
Pizza is decent but customer service is a disaster at this store
I wanted to place my order over the phone before I left work so I could swing by and pick up on the way home.
Called them twice, they didn’t pick up the phone either time, even after I let it ring for 2 or 3 minutes
So I went into the store and waited in line about 10 minutes to place my order. When I tried to make an ingredient substitution, the girl taking my order first rolled her eyes said «we cant do substitutions» (I’ve never had a problem asking for a substitution at the Vallejo store). Then she said it would be an extra dollar to do the substitution, which I agreed to.
Waited another 15 minutes to get my Pizzas, and of course, the substitution was wrong
By that time I was done waiting and just left

Very good customer service. All employees are very friendly. And they make a good product. No shortcuts and full of the ingredients you order. One of my favorite places when we need a meal shortcut!

It’s affordable and fresh. Easy to cook once it’s home. Nice service. Relatively healthy as it’s not that gross and cheesy. Clean store, too.

As someone who’s known in her circle for being a bit of a food snob, I never thought I’d be reviewing a small town chain take ‘n bake pizza shop, but here I am, admitting that I go to one, and giving it 5 stars.
While driving by with my brother yesterday, on a whim, he decided, «I want pizza. Do you mind coming to Papa Murphy’s with me?» Sure, whatevs.
As we drove up, there was a large poster on their window that said something to the effect of them now having a $ 10 any pizza, any size, on Tuesdays, promotion. Yesterday was Tuesday. Score!
We decided that we wanted one thin crust and one thick crust. He picked a chicken DeLite, and I picked the stuffed chicken bacon. While waiting around, we gravitated to their fridge and he ended up picking up a S’MORES pizza, too. The total bill? $ 23. $ 10 for each pizza, including the MONSTROUS stuffed one that I picked, and the s’mores pizza was $ 3 (it’s about a foot in diameter). We felt like we were stealing.
Then we went home where the magic happened in the kitchen! We were able to get both the dessert pizza and the thin crust in at the same time without overlapping in the oven, then we baked the stuffed one. They were all so good! The stuffed one is literally stuffed. At a lot of pizzerias that I’ve gone to, stuffed simply means thick Chicago-​style pizza, but here, they actually put another piece of dough on top. This particular chicken bacon combination tasted like a Costco chicken bake. So good. Our only complaint is the super chew crust of their thicker pizzas and the dessert one, but that’s literally our only complaint. It’s otherwise tasty, tasty pizza.
And the real icing on the cake — how nice everyone at the store is. I’ve actually been here before quite a few times in high school and I remember every one being really nice. The people may have changed, but they still deliver consistently good customer service, from the person who takes your phone order and the one who rings you up, to the person who actually makes your pizza.
By the way, I’ve been on a pretty strict workout and nutrition plan, so this was obviously not part of the program, but it smelled and looked so good that I couldn’t help but indulge a little in my brother’s cravings. I swear I only had small slices! And it was worth it :)

It’s possibly not possible to have a fresher chain-​restaurant pizza, even though you may arguably argue with my arguable claim, than at Papa Murphy’s. I love the concept as everything is made fresh on order, and I get to bake it whenever I want to.
I love both their DeLite and Original crusts — the DeLite for the intensity of flavour that only a thin crust can allow, and the Original for that unmistakable rumble of satiety after two slices. My current favourite is the lemon-​pepper chicken with salami dancing on a bed of spinach, mushrooms and zucchini roundels over a layer of herbed tomato sauce.
It’s hard to go wrong with this pizza; just follow the simple instructions and even Forest Gump would find it hard not to get it right the first time.
With their very friendly staff and equally quick service, their lovely $ 10 Tuesdays (any size pizza, same price; I don’t know why anyone would go for anything smaller than the ‘family’ size) makes an already sweet deal even sweeter.

Centrally located and always a good choice when you’re in a bind for party food. Selections are fairly affordable (make sure to use coupons!), not to mention absolutely deeeelish. Staff at this branch is friendly and attentive!
My family is a fan of the stuffed pizza with chicken, garlic sauce, bacon and tomato, but I personally love the gourmet veggie (the veggies are as fresh as that of a round table pizza… but at half the cost!). Pizzas take only about 20 – 30 minutes to bake.
Two family size pizzas for $ 24 total. Wadoo!

Continuing my search for the best pizza near home, I finally caved in and tried Papa Murphy’s. I’m not a big fan of take-​n-​bake. Mostly because I don’t want to risk burning the pizza crust. But because of a pizza deal, I visited.
The pizza was assembled quickly and saran-​wrapped and I was out. The place is small and full of people waiting for the their order. They also sell cookies and other sweets to bake.
Once home, I followed the instructions to a T. The result was a pretty good pizza! The crust was crispy thanks to my special crispy crust pizza sheet and the toppings were tasty. I was surprised. For the price range and quality, it’s better than frozen but not gourmet. A good alternative if you trust your baking skillz.
Parking in the lot is free and easy.

Papa Murphy’s is hands down my favorite pizza place around.
1.) Great Prices. they always have a deal and include a coupon for your next visit. $ 12 for a family size. feeds 3 to 4 adults easily. AWESOME.
2.) FRESH PIZZA. I don’t know how many times I’ve gotten old ingredients from pizza hut or dominos.
3.) PIzza for later. Since it’s take and bake I always buy 2 and stash one in the fridge for later.
4.) Cookie dough. OMG their cookie dough is amazing. If you want a good desert, please don’t forget to get a mini tub.
My favorite combo: peperoni, extra pineapple, onions & jalapenos.
The way I cook: oven 450 degrees for 9 minutes. Then remove cardboard cooking tray, place on bare oven rack and cook for an extra 4 minutes to get it perfectly crispy. Remove from oven and DO WORK.
Seriously, this place deserves more credit, call ahead, pick up a pizza & some cookie dough and save some $$$. It’ll be a great night :)
