Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

I have to stop a minute to write this review, the manager who was working the shop today is always so professional, so nice and so efficient. I never have to wait long for my pizza. They use such great fresh ingredients. The veggie pizza is one of my favorite. Today I ordered something different. Chicken pizza with creamy sauce, green onions, tomatoes and herbs. I added mushroom because I like them. Its ALWAYS smart to get the family size. People, this pizza is just as good leftover as it is when you first cook it at home. I am a total convert. I will NEVER get pizza at any chain ever again except for PAPA MURPHYS.
Im so glad to say the new manager seems to be doing a superb job.
Thank you! I will be back soon....as soon as left overs are eaten lol

Same complaint as others have made, and one I’ve had happen before. If you are going to close at 7 pm instead of 9 pm, update your hours so that people don’t waste their time trying to buy from your business. Last time I’ll bother.

Wow. The place has really turned around.

..............

We really love Papa Murphy's pizza. It's always a hit with the kids; however, I will probably never purchase from this location again.

I waited for my pizza for about 20 minutes. Which isn't a big deal. But the kitchen was a mess. I was there at a really slow time. There was meat and cheese all over the counter. Two employees were making pizzas, and another wasn't doing anything. I don't know why he wasn't cleaning the counters. It was pretty gross. One of the guys making pizzas wasn't wearing a hair net and flipping his hair every 30 seconds. Pretty sure food code requires him to restrain his hair. He also scratched the side of his nose with his gloved hand and continued to make pizzas.

These issues may not seem like a big deal, but if employees can't change gloves, wash their hands, and clean the counters...  It make you wonder what they are doing when customers aren't watching.

I see that they responded so I’ll let them know.  Your employee closed at 7 PM when closing was at 9 PM. Apparently, I got there when he turned the lock.

You might as well adjust all of your hours closing at 7 PM if this is normal practice.

I'm changing my review from five stars to three. I have ordered one or two pizzas from this location every Friday night for the last 5 years. The staff here has gone from superb to marginal very quickly. I always order extra toppings, every time. Lately I only get what I order about half the time. Submitting a photo of a cheese pizza ordered with extra mozzarella and extra cheddar. If I bring up the mistake, the staff grumbles and fixes the mistake with attitude.

Hooters

Wings 3-mile Island, and loaded tator tots delish! Fish and chips a little greasy. Service?? Oooof 😕

Cool spot for drinks. The bar food is kicking. Come, and see for yourself, you'll like it. Friendly and attentive staff, great service and hot food! To top it all off, it's not expensive like people believe Hooters to be!

HORRIBLE !!! WAS SMELLING SO BAD. I FELT LIKE I WAS EATING IN THE BATHROOM!
The food was nothing special!! It's not a good flavor! Not juicy!  Better frozen wings from supermarket and cooking at home.
Service is very slow, and wasn't busy .
I will never be back here at this location, but I will try a different one.

Guess I went there on a slow night(then I'm told every night is). There was only a few people there and bartender kept disappearing.  Then another waitress came in with her bf and all staff hung out with her.  The bartender did come around when 2 guys came in and sat at the bar and we ended up having a great time.
I would come back.  The wings are always great.

Service was horrible, our food sat in the window for at least 12 minutes and several other servers just walked past it and ran other food while our server sat at a table on her phone. I had to walk over to the other side of the restaurant to ask her to bring the check because she had kicked her feet up and was on her phone not paying attention. Wings were delicious, service was just not it. Would not sit with McKenna again. 

I'm a Chicago native and I'm fussy about pizza. Been going to Papa Murphy's for over a decade. They consistently put out a quality take-and-bake product, with a good crust, delicious sauce, and fresh ingredients.

On Chicago's Southwest Side, I never saw a deep-dish downtown "tourist pizza" until I was 16, fifty years ago. I've had some delicious ones, for sure, but it's not what we grew up with in the neighborhood.

I will let you in on a little secret: You can come pretty close to the mom-and-pop pizza I love when I visit Chicago.

Start with a Papa Murphy's pie with their thinnest crust. Add one or two of your favorite non-meat ingredients. (I recommend mushrooms and black olives, if you like those.)

Take it home and add a thin layer of grated Asiago cheese, then top it with pinch after pinch of Scimeca's Italian sausage (get it at Hy-Vee), and pop that baby into your oven as instructed.

Enjoy. You can thank me later.

Found this piece of aluminum in our pizza. Didn’t see it until we cooked it. Might need to double check your product before pickups👎

Very good pizza, and even though I’ve only ordered here a couple of times, it’s always been ready when I arrive and they’ve been generous with the toppings.  It still feels a bit expensive to me, but it’s a nice middle ground between Pizza Hut and Minsky’s as far as cost goes.  Definitely a good choice when you have a good coupon!

Was sooo tasty but a little cooled off.   Cold, even.   Still good!

I am not going here anymore!! Several things happened. 1st off the manager was NOT using gloves on the pizza dough when I walked in. He was stretching it on the pie plate. Washed hands, IDK???? Then he took my order and went back to the dough. One of the workers had long hair flopping around without putting up. Hair falling in pizza, IDK????? Other person kept scratching his face and moving his hair so he could see, wearing same gloves, SMH!!!!  The kid wrapping the final product didn’t know what he was doing and it came open on the way into the car and made a mess!!  From NOW on I will make my own pizza at home!!

Our family loves getting pizza from here, even though it's cooked at home, the care, speed and friendliness of the people there are awesome! We sometimes have difficult orders (switching toppings because we don't eat pork/pork bi products) but they do a fantastic job making sure to get what we order, thank you for being so great! We will be back soon.

I was greeted as I entered. All  ingredients are for fresh. The guy making my pizza even ask me how my day was going. My favorite is Chicago pizza with no onions. I will definitely be returning again.

Place smells amazing every time you walk in. Service seems to be super fast and the quality is there making great pizza. Not a complaint or issue ever with this particular spot.

We’ve ordered twice in the last couple weeks, and Sean has checked us out both times. Someone needs to give this young man a raise! His customer service is FANTASTIC, he is so sweet and welcoming! I don’t know if he is the one that prepared our pizzas, as we ordered ahead, but they did a wonderful job as well! We will be moving out of the area soon but will gladly make the drive as long as we receive the same great care at this location!

Great product. Fast and friendly service. Clean.

Went to pick up pizza after work a few weeks ago now, and had my 4 month old with me in his carrier. It was raining pretty hard and the nicest employee offered to carry my pizza to my car for me through the rain. I really appreciated that kindness!! Their pizza is always yummy too and ready quickly.

Very disappointed. Third time and last time I will order from this location. The last three times I ordered the crust was not correct and the toppings were wrong. I called the store to let them know the problem and the person I talked with was very negative and somewhat rude. Will take business elsewhere.

Always had great pizza here. But two pizzas tonight were on the level of cardboard pizzas that dominos sells. Absolutely no sauce on either one. Probably won’t be doing Murphy’s anytime in future.

Omg I cannot say enough good things about the two beautiful young women that were working there tonight. I came in probably 10 minutes to close. They had already started cleaning everything up. At first I was going to tell them nevermind but they both reassured me that they could make my pizza's. My memory hasn't been the greatest since I was diagnosed with cancer but I do remember one of their names Emma! Both of their customer service skills were top notch. I have to be honest something you don't see very often anymore. Thank you ladies you definitely saved me staying up until probably midnight cooking than cleaning.

I ordered two pizzas. Customized them to have no cheese on half of each pizza. They put cheese on everything. When I called them to explain the issue, they said they’d make a replacement pizza with no cheese. Then, when I returned to the store to correct the issue, they insisted that I did the order incorrectly (despite the fact that I had the order on my phone and could show exactly how I customized it to not have cheese). Because I didn’t bring back the original pizza (my husband had already baked it) they would not give me a replacement. Instead I bought another pizza at 50% off. I guess the discount was nice, but why am I paying for your mistake???

Great place to get a "take and bake" precisely the size of the pie, and with your choice of crust type, ingredient combinations, and even seasoning. No place to eat here, though. YOU supply the oven, which can be preheating while you head home with your creation.  It's GREAT pizza, made your way.

Everyone was so friendly especially Van the person that prepared our order. Love this place.  Great place to get pizza on the go at a great price.

I've gone to this location for years, so it's sad for me to rate this place low as the staff and quality of food are great. But damn, $15 for a medium pizza that you still have to bake at home? I just can't justify how expensive it's gotten.

I never thought I'd like the idea of baking my own pizza back when this first came out. But now years and years later, I absolutely love everything about it. I order & pay online, swing by & grab it off the rack, & I'm on my way home.

I will go out of my way to specifically drive to this location. It’s clean. The staff is polite and super helpful. The Manager works alongside his crew and you can tell they all get along and work well together. This store is not really even close to where I live but I won’t go anywhere else for my Papa Murphy’s Pizza.

I ordered a simple family size cheese pizza, got home ready to take off the saran wrap, and noticed bugs where crawling around in my pizza. Called the store to speak with a manager, no Manager was there. I was told to bring my pizza back up with my receipt for a refund or to remake my pizza. They are apparently unable to give refunds over the phone. Here I am unable to go there due to extracurricular activities with kids after school. (The main reason I stopped and grab a pizza, quick dinner) so money not well spent. Will never go back to this location. I took a video but it will not let me upload here so I have screen shot the best I can to post.

We have gotten Papa Murphy’s salads and pizzas for as long as it has been there on North Oak. Always given excellent friendly service and I feel like I’m part of the family when I walk in there. Their pizzas are second to none because you build them and they just put them together and you bake them at home fresh anyway you want to. Add salad lovers. Their salads are individually made to order and my wife and I usually get one salad and split it with one pizza but if you just wanna make a salad your dinner, it is more than enough quality ingredients to make a meal.. I have tried other pizza places the last one Papa John’s did not have 2/3 of the ingredients on a very simple chicken barbecue pizza. The ingredients did not even come to Within 2 1/2 to 3 inches of the edge of the pizza very little chicken, will never eat there again. From now on, it’s Papa Murphy’s. Always.❤️

If you don't mind taking a little extra time to cook your pizza when you get home Papa Murphy's is the way to go! They're awesome

I have ordered food from this location for YEARS, but they lost me as a customer. I ordered a salad,  large pizza, and Smores dessert through Doordash. We started to eat the salad, and, thank goodness, I noticed the FURRY clumps of diced tomatoes before ingesting any. (see pic) Salads are eaten raw, so we could have gotten sick from the rotten produce! And, I checked the date on the salad container, which said it needed to be sold by that day's date. Obviously, if you put old ingredients in a salad and call it fresh, you're wrong. Freshly made and fresh ingredients are two different things. So, since I cannot trust this restaurant with my health and safety, I won't be ordering from them again.

I placed my order online and expected it to be ready 30 min later when I showed up. It wasn't.  So I sat and waited as there were alot of people in there. I notice they were taking new orders and only making the new orders. I finally get one person's attention and asked if they planned on making the online orders. She digs through a pile of receipts and say oh yeah here you are and then they made it finally.  I didn't really look at the pizza quality until I got home as I was just frustrated.  Get home and the pizza crust is much thinner than normal, the quality of how they made it was a mess. I will never go back to that location.

I had a great experience today, although my team did not win my dining experience won!!!  Aubree was my server, and she set my game up and made sure she checked on me just frequently enough and definitely was not bad on the eyes.

I ordered the Buffalo platter and requested that my wings be originally fried. Well, they came out naked 😔....but I was very pleased how they made sure that my order was corrected with ease. The manager even came to my table to make sure I was satisfied.

I visited this location last week and was very disappointed with the wait staff. No host at the door, bar staff was too busy to acknowledge anyone, and sat for 10 minutes before even being acknowledged despite sitting next to the aisle all servers used to get to the back. Priority was about getting closed up instead of tending to customers (there was over an hour of open time left).

The food was quite delicious, but also took another 10-15 min to receive.

This is the same atmosphere as years ago which was one of many reasons I didn’t return. Unfortunately, I will again not be back anytime soon.

Oh we had a blast!   The food was great and the waitresses were extra sweet.  It was my nephew's 26th birthday and they all came together and sang Happy Birthday to him and they let us take a picture of him with them.   They had live music, they had a young man in the corner playing jazz solo guitar and it really added to the evening.

Where do I start? We used to go here in the past frequently when they had the previous garlic parmesan wings before what they currently offer. The sauce was so good you could drink it.

My husband and I decided we'd order from here after not going for awhile and as we were deciding what we wanted we kept saying to each other "Why did we stop going here?" We couldn't remember so we proceeded.

Well the first reason is because the garlic parmesan wings offered now pale in comparison to the original ones. The steamed shrimp weren't completely deveined so that's gross all in itself. The Shrimp Baja tacos had 2-3 Shrimp on each and were covered in goopy sauce and cabbage.  Definitely NOT worth the money.

The ordering process is weird now as well. You're not connected to the restaurant. It sounded like a guy working from home that could care less about taking our order and definitely didn't thank us for our business.

I didn't enjoy anything we had or the ordering process and now I KNOW why we don't order from here or dine in any longer.

My sliders were over cooked and my curly  fries were cold. They did give me a new meal of shrimp tacos and mozzarella sticks no charge. The waitress kept disappearing once we got our food. Never asked how things were or refilled drinks. Waitress needed more training 😞. The waitress we had last time was much better. The manager was amazing

The Cheesecake Factory

Food was fairly good although slightly on the costly side for what it was. It seemed like the amount of options and the complexity of each item was like they were trying too hard to be super fancy; find a moderate selection that you can perfect and stick with it. There is no point in an over the top menu of high dollar items that dont absolutely WOW on taste. Overall the food was good but lacking for the cost. (Meals for 2 adults and 2 children around $110: 2 different burgers, an order of chicken strips, an omelet, and an appetizer)
The server ignored us for the most part. However he may have just been having an off day. The other servers who assisted us throughout our experience were very polite and apologetic to the absence of our actual waiter. Overall not the best but also not the worst experience we've ever had.
Now of course the BIG question....how was the cheesecake?!?!
We got 3 different slices for about $35 and each was absolutely DELICIOUS! Would definitely like to try more of their cheesecakes!

Complete overview: the cheesecake saves the day and honestly I don't think anyone should really be that surprised by this. As things go it was an overall positive experience just slightly expensive.

First timer to the Cheesecake Factory and was not disappointed! Pleased with the extensive meal selections, not just cheesecake! Had the Bang Bang Shrimp, Flat Bread Pizza, and a house salad. Best Bang Bang I have ever had, just the right amount of heat, very flavorful and a good-sized portion. (I would like to say that there was enough for leftovers, but I ate slow and enjoyed every last bite!) Markus was our friendly and knowledgeable server, with a great memory and prompt attention. We ordered all our cheesecakes to go, and they were delicious. My favorites were the Turtle and the Lemon Rasberry. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. The prices were higher than I was expecting, but everything was  well worth it.

One word ... AMAZING. From the service to the food and cleanliness. I enjoyed every moment, the staff was very friendly and our wait was about 5-10 minutes. I'd definitely go back!

We went after Church on a busy Sunday and they handled a packed house very well. The food was decent and came quickly. Two minor issues:  1) $17 dumpling appetizer with only 4 tiny dumplings 2) A medium cook burger translated to rare for them

Delicious food. Friendly wait staff. Marquis was very attentive to our needs and quickly without words even being spoken, he was on it.
My husband, myself and teen daughter, none of us have been to a Cheesecake Factory before. Of course we have had the cheesecake but never dined in one. It was a nice change from our fast food we were eating on our trip to Kansas. Thank you Marquis! You made our 1st visit very enjoyable.

Mediterranean Taste

The food was delicious! Great seasoning, fresh and not overly sweet on the desserts. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This is now going to be our "go to"  when we want gyros!

A cold morning was quickly tamed with a hot Turkish coffee! The staff were quite friendly and personable and the food excellent! The chicken shawarma wrap was tender and flavorful and even though I don’t care for hummus, it was a nice addition. My wife’s gyro plate was fantastic. Our lunch ended with a pistachio baclava for sweet treat. My only disappointment is that we don’t live in town and can’t come here more often. If we find ourselves back in town this will be a must stop.

I have never written a review of a place in my life, but I really feel like I should; I adore this place. It is run by wonderful and incredibly kind people who love to serve you fantastic food, and I love to give them money. Great service, Great presentation, great kabobs, great salads, and probably the best baklava I have ever had. I haven't tried everything yet but it's probably all equally as good. A+++

Absolutely amazing food. I wasn’t sure what to get so I told them to just surprise me. I got 3 different Kabobs, beef, chicken and kafta, which is a mix of beef and lamb with a salad. All of it was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

Delicious! I tried the beef, chicken and lamb. All 3 get 2 thumbs up! Loved the rice and salad too 🤤 I got the impression that the entire staff is family. I watched them treat all their customers like family too and call them by name. I loved everything about this place.
