Papa Murphy's - Franchise
About Us
Since 1982 we’ve offered a great value and a superior pizza to our customers and a simple focused concept for our franchisees. Papa Murphy’s limited hours of operation and the take-n-bake concept without the hassles of dining or delivery, provide a great franchise opportunity.
Products and Services
Papa Murphy's empowers its guests. Not only do they decide which fresh, high- quality ingredients top their pizza, but customers have the pleasure of baking it right in their own ovens for a fresh, hot, delicious meal whenever they want. The dough is prepared daily in each store. Each pizza features fresh ingredients, including 100% all-natural, whole-milk mozzarella, cheddar and provolone cheeses. Real meat toppings, with no fillers, include savory Canadian bacon and premium salami, pepperoni, Italian sausage and ground beef. Other toppings, including fresh Roma tomatoes, whole mushrooms, green peppers and onions, are sliced and diced daily.
95% of Papa Murphy's stores are franchised. It is the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of our franchisees that makes Papa Murphy's the innovative and customer-centered organization that it is. Without the hard work and dedication of our franchisees, we would not have been able to experience the growth and success that we have seen over the years.
