If you go back to my earlier days, you know way before they even had big national chains that served Take and Bake (TNB) pizza, we had just one local joint in my home town that that offered it. Although I do not recall the name of the Take and Bake pizza place that was there, I do know that it solely sold soda by the case, and had a plethora of flavors with their own label on it.

It seems almost weekly I get Papa Murphy’s Pizza coupons in the mail, they usually arrive on Tuesdays with some other flyers about stuff I really have no interest in. They are usually a better deal than any of the other chains, today it was $10 for a large 5 meat stuffed pie.

This pizza has the usual cheese, sauce, and is topped with pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and the other kind of bacon, then a second crust is placed on top of that, and some more sauce, cheese, and ground beef is sprinkled atop the outer crust.

I swear this puppy weighed in at 5 pounds, making it a terrific value. It could feed a large family, I am sure. (I was only good for two small slices, which still blew my carb allowance for the day).

Papa Murphy’s supplies their pies on a disposable baking tray, so all you have to do is follow the instructions, 425, center rack, 25-30 minutes, take it off the tray and place directly on the rack after 20 for a crispier crust. It’s been eons since I had a Papa Murphy’s, and I have to say, for the “value chains”, this is my new bestest favorite. The crust was crispy, there is tons of cheese, mild sauce, and it is crammed full of processed pork products.

The side view of the slice shows the ample ingredients.

I don’t know why I haven’t picked these Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizzas up more often. I will in the future.

Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza gets 5 out of 8 slices.
