What to Eat at Papa Murphy's Pizza How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Papa Murphy's Pizza, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Papa Murphy's Pizza, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Classic italian pizza Net +1
“Classic Italian Pizza The Classic Italian Pizza is a true testament to traditional Italian flavors. The creamy garlic sauce base is rich and flavorful, perfectly balancing the toppings. The pepperoni and Italian sausage add a savory depth, while the mushrooms, Roma tomatoes, and green onions bring a fresh and vibrant touch. The blend of cheddar, herb & cheese, and whole-milk mozzarella creates a gooey, cheesy delight that ties everything together. This pizza is a must-try for anyone who loves classic Italian flavors with a modern twist.”

Herb chicken mediterranean pizza Net +1
“Herb Chicken Mediterranean Pizza From the first bite, I was hooked by the perfect blend of flavors and fresh ingredients. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing the ideal base for the toppings. The combination of herb-seasoned chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and feta cheese was simply divine. Each ingredient complemented the others beautifully, creating a harmonious and mouth-watering experience. The Mediterranean herbs sprinkled on top added an aromatic touch that made every bite a pleasure.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check timing. Allow extra time or visit off-peak: one customer reported waiting 1 hour 30 minutes before a Talabat order was cancelled.
Confirm online orders. If ordering online, confirm the outlet has seen and started your order; one reviewer said preparation only began after staff saw them in person.
Ask for dips. Ask about dips and condiments when ordering, since a reviewer said none were included and another reported they were unavailable on request.
Inspect toppings. Check the topping portion when your pizza arrives, particularly for chicken pizzas, as one customer received almost no chicken.
Check cleanliness. Before settling in, look over the table and surrounding floor; one visit found food particles and required a table-cleaning request.
Choose pizza. Pizza receives more consistently positive feedback than pasta, while several reviews describe the pasta as reheated or not freshly made.

The Bottom Line
Papa Murphy's Pizza in Dubai South is mainly a made-to-order pizza stop. Reviews highlight fresh dough, generous toppings and the ability to customize a pizza exactly to your liking. Chicken Garlic Pizza is a recurring favourite, while vegetarian pizza, keto pizza and cheese rolls give you a few more specific options to consider.
The strongest visits describe pizzas served hot, flavorful and fresh, with welcoming staff and a clean, cozy setting that works for a family meal or casual hangout. One detailed review enjoyed the Herb Chicken Mediterranean, Classic Italian and Cowboy pizzas for their distinct topping combinations. The experience is not completely consistent, though: other customers found pizzas bland, undercooked or short on chicken, and one felt the size was small for the price.
Service and hygiene deserve attention before you commit to a larger order. Reviews mention long waits, including a Talabat order cancelled after 1 hour 30 minutes, and one online order allegedly not prepared until the customer appeared. Customers also report dirty tables, shared gloves and missing dips or condiments.
If you visit, confirm your order, check the table and ask about sauces; pizza appears to be the safer bet than the pasta, which several reviewers described as reheated rather than freshly made.
