Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Crescent City, Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza offers a truly unique and family-friendly dining experience. Specializing in Italian and vegetarian-friendly cuisine, this charming pizza restaurant invites guests to enjoy fresh, handcrafted pizzas that they can take home and bake to perfection. The concept of “Take ‘N’ Bake” means each pie arrives ready for the oven, allowing you to savor the irresistible aroma and crispy crust of a just-baked pizza straight from your own kitchen.

Papa Murphy’s boasts a diverse menu that caters to all tastes. From the classic Mini Murph® Pepperoni Make 'n' Bake Pizza Kit, layered with rich red sauce, creamy mozzarella, and perfectly spiced pepperoni, to the Mini Murph® Cheese Kit, ideal for those who crave the simple, comforting flavors of molten cheese and tangy sauce. For those who are dairy sensitive or prefer plant-based options, their DairyFree Cheese Mini Murph® Pizzas offer thoughtfully crafted alternatives using dairy-free mozzarella-style shreds that still deliver the signature cheesy satisfaction.

What truly sets Papa Murphy’s apart are the inventive flavor combinations and touch of homemade charm found in customer favorites like the thin-crust Hawaiian, loved for its harmonious balance of sweet pineapple and savory ham, or the unexpected delight of pepperoni paired with honey — a surprising twist that one delighted customer raved about as absolutely delicious. The hands-on baking process means you’re the chef, controlling exactly how golden and bubbly your pizza turns out.

No pizza experience here would be complete without indulging in their selection of desserts and drinks. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is a crowd-pleaser, rich, gooey, and bursting with chunks of chocolate — perfect to enjoy baked or straight from the package for those who adore cookie dough in its pure form. The warm and aromatic Cinnamon Wheel, topped with a crisp oat crumble and served alongside luscious cream cheese frosting, offers a comforting end to any meal.

Staff was friendly and food was good. I ordered online using the app. It was super easy. I did have to wait a few minutes when I picked it up, but they were busy and also training a new employee so I understood. The three guys working were very polite and let me know it would be a few more minutes before it was ready. Not a problem. They did a great job. I guess if I had to, I could complain about the case being empty because they were out of salads, sides, and cookie dough, but sometimes it's difficult to find the time to restock when it's that busy, so..
