About Papa Murphy's

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.

Simple Operations – Because our entire concept is take ’n’ bake, our owners do not hassle with the complications that other restaurants have.

And with no cooking, there is no sit-down dining which reduces space requirements and labor costs.

Consumer Appeal –We offer our guests the unique experience of watching their pizza being made fresh before their eyes and then taking it home to bake it to perfection - complete with a distinctive and mouthwatering aroma that brings families and friends together.

Historical Performance – Our company has over 40 years of success, with 1,100 stores and hundreds of franchise owners from various backgrounds and careers – all who fell in love with our product and saw the opportunity to own a business that their community would love as well.
