I was provided a behind the scenes look at Papa Murphy’s from BSMMedia & Papa Murphy’s, however all opinions are 100% my own!
Tuesday I had the opportunity to go to a local Papa Murphy’s Pizza and look behind the scenes! I really had fun and learned a lot! I would love to give you that behind the counter look too!
What is Papa Murphy’s Pizza? Papa Murphy’s is a Pizza restaurant, but different than other local pizza restaurants. At Papa Murphy’s you can call in or stop by and order your freshly made pizza. Then you “take” it home and “bake” it when you’re ready. This is perfect for busy families, just pick one up on your way home, pop it in the oven for 12min..you have dinner! First thing when I arrived they had orange juice and chocolate chip cookies (YUM) to fill my tummy! They also made a super delicious cinnamon wheel that I got to try…OMG! It’s like a slice of heaven! Since I had never even been to a Papa Murphy’s I had a lot to learn!
Next up, was a look at all their toppings, which are super fresh! Their fresh produce was delivered and right away washed and ready for prepping. They sliced and diced everything right there in store!
Ok, it’s not the fresh veggies, but it looked sooo good!
You know what else is fresh? Their pizza crust. They also make their crust in-house and let it rise for a day, and then it is made and served the next day! I got to watch the whole process that day and it was really neat to see.
Once the crust was ready, I got to create my own signature pizza! It was a so much fun, and I created a really delicious pizza!
I got to make the Family size…What size would you need?
I’m not to creative when it comes to pizza, so I just created a Family size meat pizza, something everyone would love!
Now here are some fun facts that I learned that day! And there was a lot to learn.
Papa Murphy’s loves helping out their community. They offer fundraising programs to local community groups, such as selling Peel-a-Deal cards to family, friends.
Papa Murphy’s offers five different combinations of pizzas and crusts:
Fresh Pan – thick, buttery crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Signature – their famous crusts on which their signature pizzas are made.
Delite – packed with flavor, thin on the crust. It has 25% less fat, and 35% fewer calories than their original crust.
Stuffed – loaded with two layers of fresh dough stuffed with fresh and yummy ingredients.
CYO (create your own) – make it your own and add your favorite items!
I also learned that you can call during the day to place your order and then pick your pizza up after work! How easy does that make meal planning for your family?
Coupons and Savings
The pizza was really good that night too!! We just threw it in the oven for 12 min and we had a delicious dinner! The family size was a lot bigger than I was thinking too…I thought we would need more to satisfy my boys, but everyone had 3-4 squares (yes I cut it in squares, it was that big) and seemed to be satisfied…I hope you give Papa Murphy’s a try if you haven’t already, I think you will love it as much as we do!

It’s the end of an era! Over the course of its first five seasons, Girls – the hit HBO comedy series created by and starring Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham, and executive produced by Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner – has continued to be one of the most critically acclaimed and buzzed about shows on television. Now fans can finally find out how this instantly-iconic HBO series ends when Girls: The Complete Sixth Season will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on July 25, 2017. All formats feature exclusive new bonus content, including an extended version of ‘A Goodbye to Girls,’ featuring never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage, ‘Inside the Episodes’ featurettes and more.
In the sixth and final season of Girls, HBO’s hit comedy continues to follow the assorted humiliations and triumphs of a group of 20-something friends in NYC. Season 6 picks up six months after the end of Season 5, with Hannah (Dunham), enjoying new success as a writer while her roommate and bestie Elijah (Andrew Rannells) considers getting serious about his acting career. Marnie (Allison Williams), now in a relationship with Ray (Alex Karpovsky), seeks to maintain her independence post-divorce from Desi (Ebon Moss-Bachrach).
Now also a couple, Jessa (Jemima Kirke) and Adam (Adam Driver) decide to embark on a creative project to channel their passions, which could become a source of contention. And Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) finds herself professionally on the right path, though personally, she realizes that her friendships may be holding her back. A time for closing chapters and new beginnings, Girls follows our four familiar friends as they attempt to get closer to becoming the women they always envisioned…even as life sometimes gets in the way.
Girls has continued to inspire critical raves in its sixth season, with The Washington Post hailing the show for achieving “overall excellence” and The New York Times praising it’s “poignant hilarity.” For fans of the show, it was difficult to say goodbye, but now you can relive the hilarious “4 star” (US Weekly) series and complete your collection with the upcoming release of Girls: The Complete Sixth Season.
