“Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake Pizza recently earned the highest marks for food, and exceptional scores for value, polite staff, and service speed among the pizza chains.”

DRTC Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N Bake Pizza offers you a variety of fresh ingredients, crusts, and gluten-free options for your dining experience. But . . . have you ever tried a Papa Murphy’s pizza? A few things you may like to know about our store and how easy it is to enjoy the Take N’ Bake experience:

How long does it take to bake a Papa Murphy’s pizza?
In a standard oven, your Papa Murphy’s pizza will take 12-15 minutes to bake properly. Papa Murphy’s stuffed pizza or calzone will take 25–30 minutes. This is the same amount of time it takes you to drive to a restaurant or have a pizza delivered that has been made with frozen ingredients.

FRESH is BEST!
At DRTC Papa Murphy’s, we don’t have freezers! We make our dough from scratch daily, hand-slice our veggies and freshly-grate our 100% whole-milk mozzarella, provolone, and cheddar cheeses each morning. We believe in working only with suppliers who maintain our high product quality and food safety standards. It’s a difference you can taste.

Grilled Pizza?
Grilling your Papa Murphy’s pizza is one of the best ways to enjoy its great taste. By turning on grill every few minutes for about 20-30 minutes you can get a better, crispier tasting pizza.

How long will my pizza keep in the refrigerator?
For best results, always bake and eat your Papa Murphy’s pizza within 24 hours of purchase. And if you have leftover pizza it can be reheated.

What about EBT?
DRTC Papa Murphy’s gladly accepts EBT at our location, 2220 NW 23rd St.

Does Papa Murphy’s get involved with fundraising?
Papa Murphy’s offers a variety of fundraising options for organizations and groups like schools, churches, sports teams, Boy Scout or Girl Scout troops, and much more. Contact our manager at 405-601-6869.

Thanksgiving is coming! It is recognized in the U.S. and Canada primarily but countries like Liberia, Germany, Japan, and Grenada have their own version of Thanksgiving celebration during this time of year. In America, the average household will spend $300 on the entire weekend and about $55.00 on Thanksgiving dinner. All those traditional turkey’s will soon be cooking at 425 degrees before the feast can begin. Something else that tastes great when cooked at 425 degrees is fresh, made-to-order pizza from Papa Murphy’s. Papa Murphy’s prides itself on serving only fresh ingredients and your pizza isn’t made until you order it. And Papa Murphy’s pizza was recently voted #1 for taste and freshness by Consumer Reports.

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disease that affects 1 out of 100 people worldwide. This disease is receiving more recognition by the food industry as they become aware of those who cannot digest wheat-based products. Those suffering from celiac disease must avoid these products or their bodies immune response attacks the small intestine. If this occurs too often then the body loses its ability to absorb nutrients into the body. Untreated celiac disease can lead to other autoimmune disorders like Type 1 diabetes, MS, infertility and miscarriage among others. The only treatment for this is a lifelong adherence to a strict gluten-free diet. Meals must be prepared away from gluten-based products because even minimal exposure to those products can trigger an attack.

Many restaurants are now offering gluten-free alternatives to their traditional menus. This includes DRTC’s Papa Murphy’s location. Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N Bake Pizza offers new, medium-sized, gluten-free pizza crust for those who choose gluten-free alternatives. Papa Murphy’s was recently selected as #1 by Consumer Reports in the categories of food, value, staff and speed over other pizza chains. The pizza crust is a result of an agreement between Papa Murphy’s and Udi’s Gluten Free. Udi’s gluten-free crusts are lightly dusted with rice flour and can be baked or grilled.

DRTC’s Papa Murphy’s employees are aware of gluten-free issues and prepare each pizza properly to avoid gluten-free products. All toppings are fresh and delicious. And the fresh pie is ready to be taken home to be baked.

Happy Halloween from DRTC and Papa Murphy’s!

Julie’s story

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Dale Rogers Training Center

A huge smile grows on Julie’s face and her eyes light up when asked about her new job at Dale Rogers Training Center’s Papa Murphy’s store. Julie said, making the dough is my absolute favorite. It’s like science. I love science and you have to get the dough done just right.” The community job is a large transition from the DRTC in-house programs she has been a part of for six years. When Julie was asked why she wanted to work at Papa Murphy’s she said, “to better myself, to feel like I’ve accomplished something. It’s my first real job out in the community.”

Julie has grown confident in her work at Papa Murphy’s and learned a few lessons. Julie does the prep work in the mornings preparing the vegetables and the dough. Growing accustomed to prep charts and the fast pace of a retail establishment has taken Julie some time, but she is improving and constantly learning. Part of having a community job is transportation.

Julie rides the bus to work and loves it. Her first day of work she got off at the wrong stop, but Julie was not worried, rather she thought, “I can handle this.” Julie said the “sense of freedom [she] gets riding the bus is well worth it.”

With the money Julie is earning she plans to pay off her medical expenses and purchase her very own laptop and internet service. “DRTC trains you before you jump in on the big day,” said Julie. “I’m reaching my goal. I want to eventually own my own business, owning a bakery is a long-term goal.”
