So you buy a pizza at Pizza Hut price but you have to bake it at home yourself.

Sounds like the worst restaurant idea ever, but they seem to be doing alright.

Anyone here eaten this pizza and is it worth the price/effort?

It can't possibly be since your oven has to get to something like 800 degrees to properly cook pizza. Anything made for home cooking has either that lousy crispy crust or crust that's like bread.

It's actually very good, though it is a little annoying to cook it yourself (it can be difficult to get the crust just right).

The 'Cowboy' is good; it has pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives and sausage (though I usually get hamburger instead of sausage). They put massive amounts of each topping on the pizza; they're not just garnishes like with some other pizza places.

I think it's disgusting. You can find better in the frozen food section at HEB.

It's excellent. One of my favorite pizzas tbh. I particularly like the Meat D'Lite pizza.

I don't like the sauce, and if you don't like the sauce it's a non-starter.

I don't know about where you live, but the pizza's from Papa Murphy's here on Oregon are so much more massive than delivery. More toppings, more cheeses. etc. etc....

Pizza and ketchup are officially vegetables. Is why Americans are so self-diseased.

We go all the time... love it. Used them for super bowl parties a couple of times too... get enough food to feed ~30 for ~$30, 40 with their specials for Super Bowl.

My wife and I really like their pizzas, the stuffed pizzas in particular. Love the cinnamon wheel from them as well. Allot of quantity at a Very low price and pretty good quality I would say.

I highly recommend them but it seems some people don't like them while others love them, I wonder if it's an area thing.

oh crap

never tried it but they're running a $5 dollar special for the newest grand opening in the area, may give it a shot.

I'm not impressed by the pictures on the coupon book they sent in the mail but I guess I'll have to try it at least once.

I remember when they first opened. The prices then were compelling enough to make me try them out. It's not nearly as good as chain pizza or some of the Chicago style stuff around here (Kennedys, etc.). Now that the prices are essentially the same as the chains, I'd rather have them deliver.

On the good side though, some people are into seeing what they get on their food. If you want to know exactly how your food was prepared, this is a win.

I've never been. Are you saying they prepare it in front of you? Like Subway?

I agree; stupid concept. If I'm going out to eat, it's usually because I don't feel like cooking. Why would I want to have to do both?

Yep.

You can call ahead too though.

I may try them out. At least once. But I agree, the whole thing of going out, picking it up, then coming home and having to wait for my wife to burn it is kind of a downer.

Yeah, the only compelling thing about it was the price at the beginning. I could get a large pie from them for just under half of what I paid at the chains. That meant something.

It's the next best thing to making pizza yourself.

I like to get the premade crusts and shredded cheese myself, and make my own pizza from there. However, I have on occasion gone to them, and they are better than the other franchise or chain outlets.

How much did you pay for it and what comes on a perfect pizza?

if you're baking pizzas in the oven, get a pizza stone. worlds better.

The Perfect Pizza is half Hawaiian, and half pepperoni. I have them add italian sausage to the pepperoni side and it costs me $11.99 for a large pizza. You can frequently get coupons for a couple bucks off as well. I usually add a little extra mozarella at home before I put it in the oven. 16-17 minutes at 425 degrees (pre-heated) and it's done!

So you actually have to add more cheese to make it tastier for you?

any pizza, any size, any number of toppings

Same here in WA. Plus anytime I get a pizza from anywhere else it's just a big pool of grease.

My fav is the Thai Chicken. Wish they carried it all the time & not limited. Otherwise we just get the mediterranian chicken d'lite.

Nah, I just like more cheese than most people. There is nothing in your link that refers to a $10 pizza.

Pizzahut.com. I clicked on it again and I see it again.

1 of 4 scrolling ads in a box on the right. Football field in the background.

Of course, I'm sure you can call your (or my) local Pizza Hut to confirm if you are really that curious.

Love Papa Murphy's. Gotta go with the Cowboy or just pepperoni. Damn good grub. The only place in Portland/Milwaukie I like better is Pietro's but they're god damn expensive.

It's actually pretty decent and I don't really even like pizza. It's not cheap, but you get a shit load of toppings.

Yea, i dont get its appeal. Haven't been there, but if i wanted to cook it myself, i would cook at home. Like mcdonalds giving me a frozen patty, loaf of bread and a potato in a bag and charging me double.

Not quite the same; for instance, the McDonald's crap could actually be correctly cooked at home with the patty and bun in a pan or on a comal and then the potato fried in oil or lard. By contrast, hardly anyone has an oven that can do the temperatures needed to get pizza crust correct.

Tbh, Sam's Club and Costco both have bomb ass pre-prepared pizza that you go home and put in the oven. The pizza those places serve is very underrated.
