Papa Murphy's Franchise

Take-&-bake pizza

Papa Murphy's Take N' Bake Pizza is the pioneer of the take and bake concept. We are the largest take and bake pizza company in the world. We offer only the freshest and highest quality ingredients with our freshly grated cheeses and our dough that is prepared in house daily. We offer our products at a low price point, and we also offer our customer the opportunity to cook their pizza when they are ready to eat it.

98% of Papa Murphy's stores are franchised. It is the energy and entrepreneurial spirit of our franchise business owners that makes Papa Murphy's the innovative and customer centered organization that it is. Without the hard work and dedication of our franchise business owners we would not have been able to experience the growth and success that we have seen over the years.
