Learn more about Papa Murphy’s nutrition information, and you can keep your belly and your waistline happy.

Appetizers

The Papa Murphy’s menu is slim on appetizer selections. In fact, the only appetizer on the menu is cheesy bread. Cheesy bread is comprised of handmade dough, a mix of herbs and spices, and cheese. A side of optional dipping sauce is available. Chowing down on two slices of cheesy bread will cost you 220 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 480 milligrams of sodium. Toss in the dipping sauce and you’ll add 10 calories, but not a single gram of fat.

Salads

The menu lists a variety of leafy greens to satisfy your appetite. Try the traditional garden salad full of veggies with only 200 calories and 12 grams of fat for an entire salad. Enjoy the tasty indulgence of an entire classic Caesar salad - only 100 calories and 2 grams of fat - a 240 gram serving. Add in some chicken, and add 80 calories and 6 grams of fat.

Papa Murphy’s also offers both a club salad and Italian salad at less than 300 calories per whole salad and 20 grams of fat or less each. Don’t forget the dressing! Avoid the cream based dressings like buttermilk ranch and Caesar to save over 100 calories. Top your salad with low calorie Italian dressing at only 10 calories and less than one gram of fat per two serving packet. Skip the croutons; these tiny toppers max out at 90 calories per packet.

Entrees

While known for their pizza, Papa Murphy’s also offers a selection of other entrees in addition to their salads and pizza. Not in the mood for a slice of pizza? Try the lasagna rather than the calorie-infused calzones. The lasagna contains just 18 grams of fat and 330 calories per portion, while the calzones (pizza folded in half and then baked or fried) range from 400 to 470 calories with a maximum of 20 grams of fat per large size. However, if you must try the calzone, choose the large size veggie version, which boasts the least calories of all the options; 400 calories and 16 grams of fat.

The Papa Murphy’s specialty pizza comes in a variety of flavors, sizes, and crusts sure to satisfy any craving. Popular creations include herb chicken Mediterranean, taco grande, chicken bacon artichoke, and gourmet chicken garlic. Available in medium, large, and family size, Papa Murphy’s signature creations do not disappoint.

Cheese lovers rejoice over Papa’s stuffed crust pizzas with plenty of ooegy, gooey cheese. While not entirely diet friendly, but definitely tasty, indulge once in awhile as the average stuffed pizza has about 370 calories and 15 grams of fat per slice (large size).

Try the original crust for an equally delicious dinner with fewer calories and fat. The average original crust slice has 250-300 calories and 10 to 20 grams of fat. For the health conscious pizza conoisseur, dip into the delectable crispness of Papa’s thin crust pizzas, which are affectionately known as deLite. These slices rack up 160 to 200 calories per slice with an impressively low 8 to 12 grams of fat.

Desserts

Save room for dessert without worrying about adding numbers to the scale when you weigh. The dessert menu at Papa Murphy’s includes apple and cherry dessert pizza, cinnamon wheels, and cookie dough with authentic Hershey chocolate chips. The decadent cinnamon wheel is best shared, as it has the most calories; 300 with 10 grams of fat, including the cream cheese icing. If you just can’t say no to cinnamon, drop the icing, and save 50 calories as well as 3 grams of fat.

Papa’s cookie dough is the lowest calorie dessert at only 120 calories and 6 grams of fat. This treat will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. Still not enough to cure your craving? Try the apple or cherry flavored dessert pizza. These creations are made of pizza dough and fruity pie filling and then topped with savory cream cheese frosting. This decadent treat tips the scales at 240 calories per slice and 4.5 grams of fat, plus the optional 50 calorie, 3 grams of fat cream cheese frosting.

Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake menu offers signature creations appealing to all tastes and desires. With something for everyone, enjoy a meal that will not disagree with your diet or your tastebuds. Papa Murphy’s offers full flavor dishes from an appetizer to dessert with a variety of different calorie and fat counts.
