Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza

I have to say, today's order was totally disappointing. The crust tasted like cardboard. Usually their crust is nice and has a slight rise to it and crunchy on the crust. Today a pizza from the freezer isle would
have been better.

I had my first Papa Murphy's pizza this week and I am very impressed.
I ordered the pepperoni and mushroom, brought it home and added my own fresh herbs and fresh zucchini from my garden, baked as directed, and it was absolutely delicious! 😋
My Go to place now for pizza!
Thanks Papa Murphy's!!!

I appreciate the making of the pizza while I wait. They aren't that much more than a frozen pizza. A lot of folks say other locations freeze pizzas but not here. This is the cowboy pizza. Chicago is my favorite. 🥰

Wonderful  as always.  Great food, great staff ,great service.   Keep up the excellent work.

Always get Papa Murphy's pizza, best value for the$. Excellent product.

Every single time I am more than satisfied with the service and quality of the pizza and salads! We are frequent customers and love repeat ordering - quick and easy online ordering and the food is delicious. We get the Papa's Favorite Large thin crust and at times the keto version plus a club salad. Top notch!!

This place will not honor the $5 pizzas on Fridays! I think it's sad especially for seniors on a limited income. The manager claims they are losing money because they are not busy. Maybe if they had better customer service at this location they would get more business.

Purchased the Crustless Pizzas on Wednesday 1-5-22. I got three kinds (the Cowboy, the Vegetable Delux & the Favorite Combination). They were terrific!

I had occasion to speak with the manager and he was very friendly and helpful.

The service was super fast and my order was accurate.

I will definitely purchase this again for my mom who is on Keto and for my husband and me who are not practicing Keto.

Great Pizza and Salad!!! Plus really laid back and helpful employees. Can't go wrong with this joint..

Great customer service and quality Pizza. Knowledgeable and attentive staff. Clean building. Absolutely no complaints.

Gazali's

Awesome food and service!!!
If you look for real good Mediterranean food in Whole Des Moines, this is your place. The owner, MJ, is fantastic. He knows how to treat his customers, and he knows how to make awesome food.

Don't FORGET to try their real Arabic coffee with Baklava.

Loved everything about this place. The flavors were superb and the food very fresh. The service was efficient, friendly and overall excellent. They also were very accommodating of our young children. We loved the classic music and ambience. Highly recommend!

No better Mediterranean in the state. MJ and his crew are the best. Love the spicy chicken schwarma wrap

I had an amazing experience at the restaurant last night. The food was exceptionally delicious - a must-try for American diners. The unforgettable flavors are sure to be a hit. Additionally, the service was outstandingly impressive. Highly recommended!

Just had the best lunch I have had in a long time. I thought this was a new restaurant but found out they just moved and but been established for 18 years in Des Moines.

The humus was probably the best humus I’ve had in Des Moines. We stopped in just after the lunch rush so we received a little extra attention with it being a little slower which was nice. Karren (I believe her name was) shared with us how they prepare their food which was a nice touch. Very friendly.

I’m super excited to have found this restaurant that is close to my office.

It’s a small, contemporary feel and the food is great quality. Not that frozen processed stuff you can find dinning out.

I’d recommend starting with hummus and ending with the baklava with Turkish coffee.  We had the jalapeño chicken wrap and the garlic chicken wrap. Both extremely flavorful. Chicken was very tender.

I’d also recommend asking for a side of the hot “sauce”. Went great with the humus and I added a little to my wrap too.

I’ll definitely be back.

Cooking your own food is worth it for this pizza. Try the chicken bacon stuffed pizza. It's delicious.

Super tummy. Cooking the pizza in your own oven gives us the freshest pizza we can get.

Stopped at 6:20 tonight to get a pizza, door locked, kid unlocked it and told me they closed early, I could get cheese bread.........No way that is acceptable. The hours are posted til 8!!! Been going there for yrs, maybe not now!!!!!!

Ordered pizza by phone. Indicated pick up would be after 6pm. Was not notified of early closing time .. website says 8pm. Lights out and closed when we arrived at 7:20. Today we were advised the closing time is posted on door ..no help. Been a long time customer ... thinking twice now. No apology.
..

I had never had a problem with getting a Military discount at this location. I always ask if they offer a Military discount even if I’ve asked the same pizza artist. Never was an issue until tonight. The Manager kept saying we “usually don’t offer it” being very disrespectful. Kill them with kindness and still tipped them $5 😆

I went in 7/28 about 10:45 am and ordered a pizza. The lady waiting on me was one of the rudest individuals I have ever come in contact with. I couldn't believe how unprofessional and unfriendly she was. For absolutely no reason. I literally just ordered a pizza. When she finished making it, she slide it across the counter at me and never said a word. I said thank you and she never even responded. So disappointing. The pizza was good though. Probably never go back.

I just left...I'm hopeful the food will be good but...I ordered online for 11:45 pick up...got there at 11:50...no pizzas ready! Couldn't even find anyone! Three other customers came in looking for their pizzas...none were made & counter had a pile of orders!!! Had to wait additional 15 minutes...customers were pissed!!! If management can't get people to work either work yourself or reduce hours...

So I'm new to the idea of picking up a pizza, paying as much as I would for a hot fresh delivered pizza, and them having to cook it myself. But in saying that, it is a great idea when you have a coupon. The coupon makes the whole experience worth it. The menu is good and has a lot of variety and the staff are friendly. From my experience the pizzas need a little extra tlc when they get home. Either adding extra toppings or cheese or fixing them to look more appetizing. Overall, Papa Murphy's pizza is good but not my favorite when it comes to delicious pizza.

Got five pizzas they're all great I do recommend only cooking one at a time or rotating them so that they cook evenly

Always friendly and quick service! My family loves the double layer pizza. So good!

This review is not for the hardworking and friendly staff, it is in regards to business strategy.  I was their #1 customer ordering 50-70 pizzas throughout our relationship.  About a month ago, the phone lines were down 2-3 weeks.  Concerned, I contacted corporate and talked to owner.  I was worried the owner was unaware the phones were down, missing orders.  Talking to the owner while giving compliments to the staff, it was apparent they were attempting to shift to online orders by controling phone volume.  Great, no problem, but there is no comment section to request a freshly made pizza.  That is why I call.  Newer strategy on busy nights is to have pizzas premade with the sauce and cheese already added to sit.  They then just add the toppings upon order.  The quality greatly suffers, it is night and day difference between fresh and premade.  I quit ordering for a month.  Today I called, the lines were open! I ordered the online special 2 topping large for $10.99.  But when I went to pay, the price was $18, with a response the price is for online orders only.  I declined the freshly made pizza I requested via phone.  Order online, you may get a good deal, but if the dough, sauce, and cheese is already premade and sitting, buyer beware.  Thanks for the memories, to the super staff, time to select another vendor.  Quality over quantity.

Got 2 family pizzas the other day and cheese sticks. I cook them, when I went to cut it, there was a long hair in my pizza crust, baked into it. I called the company, told them about it and asked if they needed a picture. The manager told me no need for a picture, so I did not take a picture. Just tell them my name and a free pizza will be waiting for me. I went to get the pizza today and the manager then told me that I get no pizza as I am scamming him. I then proceeded to tell him that he said no pictures were needed and he told me he looked into it and no evidence of hair anywhere, of course not, it was in my pizza! Negative 1 out of ten. If I could get away with no stars I would. Definitely will not recommend or go back!! Very poor service and the manager leaves little to be desired.

Easily the best pizza in town, which really surprised me. I didn’t expect much from a take and bake business, but I decided to give it a try and it was excellent. I was able to get a vegan pizza packed with vegetables for a reasonable price — and I didn’t have the typical gut rot feeling after eating it. It’s definitely the “cleanest” tasting pizza I’ve had - not greasy at all, and the crust is light and crisp. Highly recommend it if you’re vegan/vegetarian and looking for a healthier - but still very tasty - pizza.

Pizza is amazing and highly flavorful for a chain, plus the take and bake nature allows for fsr more personalization which is awesome for someone who likes to cook like me. Only thing was the atmosphere while you wait was kinda quaint, but it's only for a few minutes while they make your pizza subway style, so oh well.

Pizza was frozen pizza quality service was terrible when I walked in to order acted like he hated to be there Probly won’t go back

Food was great. Got a family size half cowboy pizza with added green onion and half murphy special. Brought home and cooked immediately. Followed instructions on the sheet folded into the plastic on the pizza. Crust was great and crispy, toppings were fresh and there was plenty of cheese. Staff was kind and patient when asked questions about their menu. Store was clean and well maintained. Great experience.

If you want pizza with fresh ingredients, it's one of the best places to go. Only thing it leaves me wishing for is if they'd put on more sauce, otherwise I love it.

Pizza is delicious take-home cook it all you have to do. So much cheaper than the cooked pizza pick up.

Cheese bread and calzones here are great. Try em out.

1st time I went there it was low key And subdued but the food was good after I cooked it. It was very quick I received the garlic and chicken pizza and it was really really good almost taste it like flawn

Pros - Service was fast!
: Food was excellent.
: You can't beat their Tuesday deals.
: Tip jar if you want to leave a tip.
Cons - If using a credit card a Tip Screen comes up, only offering 20, 25 or 30% tips, or none, you can't add a 10 or 15% tip, nor can you add a set dollar amount tip.
Some people like their bills to come out to an even number like 20$ or 30$, can't do that here.

We really like the pizza and it's a good price, especially the Tuesday special, but some of the employees don't understand the difference between a coupon and the radio auction certificates that we buy. We had family visiting and sent them over to get pizza and they would not accept the certificate for the Tuesday special.   😒

I went in not to long ago to get pizza for our family. i was suprised by a big rush in the store to come to find it was being run by one young man. I believe his name was Drestin, he was very polite and helped us get the best bang for our buck for dinner. He was very efficient and got my pizza out in the fastest time i’ve seen even with a big rush. That young man is a very hard worker and I will be coming back again in the near future

I am not typically one to write reviews but i’m extremely disappointed in the customer service that was dealt at this establishment tonight. I showed up at 7:42 PM to this location where I was greeted by a sign that says closed when their hours on their door say closed at 8 PM while I was walking in they turned around and told me they aren’t making any pizzas and that they are closed for the night. when I stated your door says 8 PM. they looked at me in disbelief and said once again we are closed. Another lady was in there and stated she has been arguing with them back-and-forth regarding the same issue. Why if they were closed would their front door be unlocked with their lights, turn on proofing pizza crust. The two young boys that were there obviously had no idea what they were doing. Will not be going back.

Gotta love 10.99 Tuesday!! Great way to find the pizza that's 🍕 good for you! They have been very prompt on all my visits and for the most part friendly staff!

First time eating Papa murphys, and I am pretty taken away by the product. The product was fresh and easy to bake once I got home. It was nice to have a little leaflet with the instructions listed included inside the wrapping. We ordered 5 stuffed pizzas and found the chicken bacon ranch was a family favorite.

Side bonus for some of you:
This place also accepts EBT!!

Webb city papa Murphys is the best, joplin one has a bit of an attitude,  so I  go to Webb city. They are very friendly

I have ordered here a few times and had good service.  I always get the same 2 kinds of pizza. Cowboy and a Hawaiian with Pepperoni and pink sauce.  I always have it on original crust but got both of them on thin crust.  We don't eat thin crust.
I am disappointed with them twice I has happened to me.

Just had to give a shout out to the Papa Murphys location on Madison. Everyone working was over the top nice! Made small talk while we waited on our order, suggested other items (which resulted in a second purchase) and were all very pleasant. Will definitely be back, thank you!

Little slow not of fault of them. Short staffed

Always so polite, and I can actually get dinner done quickly and safely, bcz serious allergies are rampant in my family, without braking the bank.

The pizza was yummy but took waaaay too long for not being cooked.

If you don't like it you didn't make your own pizza

Great pizza made to order for you to take home and cook

Ordered ahead. There was little to no wait. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was clean. No issues. Will be back! Oh and pizza was great. Note: you do not eat here it is to go and cook at home if you weren't aware.
