| Papa Murphy's As the fastest growing Take ‘N’ Bake pizza franchise in the world, Papa Murphy’s presents a unique opportunity in the restaurant business. Papa Murphy’s pizzas are handmade with freshly prepared dough and high-quality toppings daily, but unlike most pizza chains, customers take the unbaked pizza home for a piping hot, delicious meal at their convenience. Papa Murphy’s is easier to operate than most chains in the industry and requires much less space for three reasons: no ovens, no delivery and no dine-in. Eliminating these three things makes Papa Murphy’s a much more affordable investment than many other comparable franchises. Voted
Best Pizza Chain in America 6 times in a row by consumers, Papa Murphy’s is
known for value, as its reduction in overhead leads to savings that can be
passed on to customers. Papa Murphy’s
customers enjoy lower prices with higher quality toppings and a fresh-from-the-oven
taste. Papa Murphy’s pioneered the take
and bake concept, and continues to stay on the cutting edge, constantly testing
new products and exploring new ways to maximize sales for franchise owners.
