Papa Murphy’s

I love the 5 meat stuffed pizza. I usually get the family size and there is usually some left for tomorrow. They usually run specials but if they dont they may have some in store coupons.

This is a great location, so I don’t know what the fuss is all about. Yes it’s busy, but that’s because it is that good. Of course Fridays and Saturdays are crazy, sometimes their Tuesday $ 10 specials can be a bit hectic, but I know that coming in. The pizza is and if you can’t cook it that night, you can save it in the fridge for two days! The only down side that I can say about service is that most of the employees are teenagers, and maybe a few older people. But, like any fast food joint, teenagers aren’t very experienced with fast service and occasionally will talk to one another and whatnot. Patience is key for great pizza. I guess I’ve been to big metro areas and have had to wait longer for great pizza.

Complete lack of organization. Ideally there would be 2 — lines, 1 for call aheads and one for people placing orders — that is not the case here. The pizza is good but the headache of standing in a line 15 deep while people place orders is crazy.

I love Papa Murphys, but not this one. And of course, this is the closest one to me. Twice I’ve called in my order, only to show up and find out they lost it. This second time they were packed, but I promised the kids, so I placed the order again and went outside to wait. Way too many people packed in that tiny place. While outside I looked at my receipt and saw she had rung up the wrong pizza, one with spicy sausage not suited to toddlers. I went in and asked that they change it. After another 15min I asked if my order was being made and they said yes. 5 min later they start calling out for whoever ordered the sausage pizza. I asked if that was the mistake pizza that should have been changed. I was ignored by the girl that rung me up and the manager. Finally a teenage boy asked what I ordered and made my pie. No apologies from anyone. 30 minutes to pick up a pizza I called in. Ridiculous.

Busy. I have no Papa Murphy’s anywhere near me, so I decided I wanted to go on Halloween for the Jack o lantern pizza.
I got there and there were atleast 15 people crammed in this little spot, with over 9 employees making pizzas at record speed. I over heard a customer saying «They are always busy, like on high school football nights, holidays, Chiefs games. Always busy.» Well, they closed the one a little closer to me, so when I want Papa Murphy’s this one is remotely located. You have to drive for it.
I can’t explain where this one is, south (very south) I– 291, Garmen found it. Parking is little. People were parking at the CVS (I think it was CVS), and walking. That’s how packed it was.
For pizza, there’s so many options, and at this location, call y our order in first. It’s faster and easier. The options are over whelming. The ordering area isn’t under the menu. So, I made the mistake of not looking at the menu. OH my pizza goodness some of those pizzas the other customers bought looked really good.

The pack the ingredients and toppings on, not being greedy. You take it home, oven at the instructions, and cook it. I love it that they come in a bakeable pan.
This isn’t a location I would go to frequently, cause it’s quite a drive. But it’s delicious. Next time, I’ll call in my order, and be smart.

This is a new store in the Lee’s Summit market and just opened about a month ago. It is now the closest store to my home and I was excited to learn that I didn’t have to drive across town for pizza.
Tonight’s vist was on a Saturday night about 5 pm — the dinner hour. The parking lot was packed, there were people waiting in the store to pick up their pizza’s. The workers, some were new and still learning their jobs. The woman that rang me up was learning how to do the discount coupon.
The line was busy the whole time I was in the store. Watching pizzas be made is great becasue you can see how fresh the ingredents are. The workers, were friendly, even with the pressure of customers wanting their orders now.
Some customers thought that the crew was disorganized. I thought the crew was busy and those customers with ‘problems’ were handled by management fairly and quietly. I thought my wait time, considering that there were customers waiting ahead of me and call in or internet orders coming in for pick ups was not unreasonable.
This store seems to do a lot of call in and internet order business, as many folks were waiting for their called in and internet orders. Since this is a take and bake store, I prefer to go in and watch them make my pizza’s while I wait.
Why do I like Papa Murphy’s. I like it because the ingredents are fresh. I get to see what I am going to be cooking and baking the pizza at home makes my house smell yummy. The cost difference between Papa Murphy’s and delivery is worth it as I usually save up to ten dollars over comparable pizza’s.
Papa Murphy’s also offers fresh… did I say fresh… salads and cookie dough. They have perks for their frequent customers and this is a great place for pizza for those who like to watch their budget.
