| - You're kidding. This place has been open for months and months and I'm the first to review? Ok. I've had Papa Murphy's back when I was living in Washington state, and I thought it was an excellent idea at the time. Take-and-bake pizza hasn't really hit Arizona, but there needs to be more of these stores. It's sort of like the pizza version of Subway. You order the size, crust type and type of pizza that you're after and then your pizza is constructed before your eyes. The dough is flattened out, white or red sauce applied, cheese and toppings next (you can ask for more or less of each), and then finally the pizza is placed on a special tray which can be put directly into the oven. They wrap it with industrial-size Saran and you're good to go. Total construction time is typically ten minutes, but there's often a queue at the Surprise location.
They have a new pizza flavour which is my absolute favourite at the moment - the Chicken/Bacon/Artichoke pizza. I just polished off the last slice of it for lunch today. It tastes a little better when it's fresh, but reheated it was still great. They have a decent variety of pizzas and crust types, ranging from the "dee-lite" crust which is about 1/32 of an inch thick, right through to their thick and stuffed crust. Regular pizzas typically take 12-18 mins at 425 deg. Longer for their stuffed crust ones. You can cook immediately when you get home or throw in the freezer for later.
The prices are great as well. I bought a family size thick crust CBA pizza for $14.99 - enough for three people with a couple of slices left over. I can usually pack it away, but three slices took me down to Chinatown last night. They have huge pizzas here - the stuffed crust supreme ones could probably satisfy the biggest of appetites with just 2-3 slices. Way cheaper than delivery and fresher. They also have a couple of other sundry items such as containers of salad and even cookie dough! You can call ahead too - when you walk in you're welcomed and asked whether you're there to pick up or place an order.
If I had to pick something that ain't great about the place, it would have to be the lack of seats for waiting. There's just a single lame Ikea-style particle-board bench with a few magazine on it. When there's a lot of people you've got no choice but to lean against the wall since the bench probably holds 2.5 people. And you could be waiting up to 30 mins or more in peak times. They should throw about ten cheap chairs against the wall. Anyway, doesn't detract from the quality of the product.
Definitely worth trying!
