I had the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes- look at our
local Papa Murphy’s and make my own pizza to take home afterwards. I thought
this would be a fun activity to take Daryl and Z to so we headed to the Springville, Utah location.

Upon arrival, we realized we came in during a small dinner
rush but were greeted immediately. Once the lobby had cleared out we met with Lisa,
the manager. She was so friendly and told me to head on over to the back room
to get ready to make some pizzas. While walking around the back room I just
noticed everything was so clean and organized. I have worked in the food industry
prior to this experience and was just amazed with how tidy Lisa keeps the
place. I put on an apron, tried fitting my top knot into a hat, washed my
hands, put gloves on, and was anxious to start making my own pizza.


After watching Lisa and the other employees make a few
pizzas, I thought it looked very simple and I had a pretty good idea of what I
needed to do. However, spreading sauce is a lot harder than it looks… at least
for me it was. I had the cheese down pretty good and toppings were a breeze.
But man, I suck at cutting saran wrap and I’m sure if I would have made a few
more pizzas I would have got it down!


Shortly afterwards, I started making our deLITE Chicken BaconArtichoke pizza. Zaden loved seeing me make the pizza and waving at me from the
other side of the counter. He even had
an opportunity to join me on the other side of the counter. Although, Zaden
didn’t personally help me put any
toppings on the pizza he did manage to flirt with all the female employees,
haha.

Right before leaving, Lisa showed us these adorable MiniMurph personal size pizzas. You can buy one of these personal size pizza’s for
$4 (each additional Mini Murph $3). I think that this would be a great toddler
activity to let your little one get hands on in the kitchen and make n’ bake
their own pizza. I’m thinking of buying a few of these for Zaden’s 2nd
Birthday Party since it would be a fun activity for all the toddlers to do
together and a cheap way to feed them. What kid doesn't love pizza?
Something that I love about Papa Murphy’s is that they cater
to you. If you are a busy mom on the go and don’t feel like cooking a home
cooked meal Papa Murphy’s is a great option for dinner. If you are short on
time, you can order online and have your pizza ready to pick up right when you
get to the store.
Papa Murphy’s always has coupons. You can find them online,
in your local newspaper, and you get bounce back coupons with every pizza you
purchase. If you complete an online or phone survey within 3 days of your
purchase you can get a free tub of their cookie dough and have a free dessert to
go with your next meal.
August 25-August 29 is Customer Appreciation week at Papa
Murphy’s. In honor of customer appreciation week the promotion is for every
family size pizza you buy, you get a free Faves pizza. There is no limit on
this offer and tomorrow (8/29/14) is the last chance you can take advantage of
this promo. I seriously wish we were having all of our friends over Saturday
night instead of Sunday night so we could jump on this offer. However, we are still
planning on heading over to Papa Murphy’s Saturday night and buying a couple of
pizzas and sides for our get together.

Once we got home Zaden couldn't wait to put the pizza in the
oven. He helped me push the buttons on the oven as we pre-heated it. Once the
oven beeped, Zaden ran over to get me in the other room and insisted on putting
the pizza in the oven himself. While in
Daryl’s arms I opened the oven and put the pizza half way on the rack while
Daryl pushed it the rest of the way in while Z anxiously watched.



Every 5 minutes or so Zaden would grab my hand and have me
turn on the oven light so we could check on the pizza. Once our pizza was done
Daryl put some oven mittens on Zaden so he could help us take it out. Daryl
took out the pizza while holding Z back with the other hand until the oven door
was shut and then told Z to help him move it over to the table.


Zaden hurried over to his high chair and all I kept hearing
him say was “MMMMMM!!” while we were strapping him in. As we brought the pizza
close up to his face you could see all the excitement in his eyes as he had
been anticipating this bite ever since we walked out of the store with our
pizza.

We highly recommend the deLITE Chicken Bacon Artichoke pizza.
It was a hit and didn't make me feel overstuffed since it comes on a thinner
crispier crust.
Remember to take advantage of Papa Murphy’s customer
appreciation promo: Buy any Family Size pizza get one Faves pizza FREE! Valid
now through tomorrow night.
I seriously cannot get over how cute your little babe is!!!
