| - Papa Murphy's is a pizza place with a unique concept. They sell you an uncooked pizza that's assembled right before your eyes. You then take it home and bake it according to the given directions. We went there one evening and got a pizza with Canadian bacon.
Papa Murphy's also sells raw chocolate chip cookie dough. Again, it comes with directions. Soda comes in 20 oz. bottles and only Pepsi products. Hint: If you like Coke products, just go next door and get your soda at the Subway Sandwich shop!
The pizza directions are pretty straightforward. However, we found it strange that the instructions said to puncture any bubbles that appear while the pizza is baking. A pizza crust without bubbles? How strange! Needless to say, we ignored that instruction!
The chocolate chip cookie dough also comes with straightforward instructions.
So...how did this all turn out? The pizza was unremarkable---no better than a store bought fresh pizza---and that was disappointing. Somehow, with such a unique concept, we were expecting better. As far as the cookies go---what was odd was that they gave off no smell when baking. When you make homemade cookies, they tend to give off a tempting aroma that has you waiting impatiently for them to be done. So...the cookies were ok. However, we've had better.
If you do get one of their pizzas, get it knowing that it won't be any better than what you would get at the supermarket. However, the one advantage that Papa Murphy's has that the supermarket doesn't---you can customize your toppings.
Otherwise, the staff was friendly and efficient. When making our pizza, they made it incorrectly but quickly spotted their mistake and made us the pizza we ordered.
