Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2025

Background

By focusing both on our guest experience and quality of our product, Papa Murphy's has become the expert in the rising take-and-bake pizza segment. This franchise system is a compelling business opportunity for entrepreneurs who are passionate about their community, bringing families together and most of all - pizza.

While the majority of brands in the $46 billion pizza industry have the same business model, Papa Murphy's is different on purpose. For starters, we don't bake our pizzas - our guests do that. Instead, we help them create the perfect pizza for them. Unlike our competitors, we prepare all of our ingredients fresh, in-house daily. This includes hand-sliced high-quality veggies, freshly grated mozzarella cheese, butcher quality meat, and making our dough from scratch. The result is a pizza experience that cannot be matched anywhere else.
