CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE PIZZA

Papa Murphy’s pizza franchise brings people together at home

For over 40 years, Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza has been providing pizza lovers with an affordable meal option without sacrificing great flavor. 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. What you might not realize, is why this business offers a great opportunity to entrepreneurs as well.

Three key factors are undeniable:

Simple Operations – Because our entire concept is take ’n’ bake, our owners do not hassle with the complications that other restaurants have. There are no commercial ovens so that eliminates cooking and the operating costs that go along with it. 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 – The company was founded in 1981 and currently operates more than 1,200 franchised and corporate-owned stores in the US, Canada and UAE. There are over 500 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.

Have a passion about creating a culture that serves their community.
Have an outgoing personality and a positive attitude about business & life.
Recognize the value of a proven system.

Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza Testimonials

My husband has been a pastor for about 20 years and I was a stay-at-home mom. The most attractive thing about Papa Murphy’s for us was that it was more than just a job. We knew that we would be able to combine the heart of Papa Murphy’s with our passion and love for our family and community. We’re very involved, from school involvements to coaching, so we love that Papa Murphy’s belief of bringing people together and contributing to the community allows us to have an even bigger impact and be more involved.

Ashley & Andy Klumper (Co-owners of Papa Murphy’s Franchise in Seaside, Oregon)

I’ve been a fanatical fan of Papa Murphy’s for about 25 years. Now being a part of the franchise family, one of the things that surprised me was it having a family-like feel despite how large the company is. They treat every franchise owner as if they’re one of the people working for them directly. Everyone plays an important role and everyone is invested in each other’s success. Additionally, we all have a communal love for pizza. So when we talk about breaking bread together and cultivating relationships, it’s amazing that pizza can play a special role in that.

Craig Sanborn (Owner of 18 Papa Murphy’s Franchises in Nashville, Tennessee)

The one thing that is the most endearing thing to my family is the idea of pizza and how it brings people together. At Papa Murphy’s, it’s all about the food. And that’s one of the reasons I feel comfortable selling the brand to my family and friends. Everything is made fresh in-store every day, from the shredded mozzarella cheese to the scratch-made dough and more.

Kristen Taylor (Co-owner of Papa Murphy’s Franchise in Anchorage, Alaska)

It’s quality versus quantity. You literally make everything fresh in the store every day.

Brian Hinojoza (Owner of Papa Murphy’s Franchise in Sacramento, California)

We’re really proud to be involved with Papa Murphy’s. We love the quality of the product. There’s a lot of great employees here at the corporate support center who really care about the business and care about the brand. It’s truly amazing being part of a brand where you can both identify and work with other fellow franchise owners to be able to find solutions and more.

Ryan McAllister (Co-owner of 37 Papa Murphy’s Franchises in Colorado)

It’s pizza that you can feel good about serving to your kids. It’s fresh ingredients. You make it fresh right then, so there’s that time with your family. That 12 or 14 minutes it takes to cook it, everyone is there and around it—and everyone is happy. It’s pizza!

John Platt (Owner of 7 Papa Murphy’s Franchises in California)

I don’t think anyone has done it quite like we have. You get to go home and bake it in your oven and smell the pizza while it’s baking and watch the crust rise. You get to experience the whole start-to-finish process.

Allison Kenney (Owner of Papa Murphy’s Franchise in Portland, OR)
