What to Eat at Papa Murphy's Pizza - Motor City 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 - Motor City, 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.

Tips for a Better Visit
Consider pickup. If you live nearby, pickup may be quicker than delivery; one reviewer specifically preferred collecting a hot pizza personally.
Check orders. Check the box and specifications promptly, since reviewers reported paying before discovering the wrong crust and toppings.
Confirm extras. If you request garlic sauce, repeat the request when ordering and check that it is included before leaving or accepting delivery.
Check dressing. For a Chicken Ceasar salad, confirm the dressing carefully: one reviewer repeatedly received Thousand Island instead of the requested option.
Confirm seating. Call ahead if you plan to eat in, as a recent review says the location has no dine-in provision while older feedback mentions tables.

The Bottom Line
Papa Murphy’s Pizza in Motor City is mainly a takeaway and delivery stop for pizzas, with reviews highlighting thin crust, Papa’s Favorite, pepperoni, and half-and-half combinations. The strongest visits describe a light, crispy crust, fresh-tasting toppings, and staff who explain options or accommodate requests such as going easy on cheese. There is a real split in the feedback.
Some customers call the pizza delicious and report quick, friendly service; one long-time customer says the branch prepared a preferred pizza to order. Others received bland, dry, oily or undercooked food, sparse toppings, stale cheese, or pizzas that arrived cold, damaged, or crumbled. Delivery times range from a reported 50 minutes to 90 minutes, with one complaint describing a 90-minute wait for a nearby order and another reporting a cancellation after three hours.
Order accuracy also deserves attention. Reviews mention missing garlic sauce, the wrong salad dressing, incorrect crust and toppings, and a replacement pizza that led to another payment request. Check the box and specifications promptly, especially for app orders.
A recent review describes the site as delivery-only, although older feedback mentions sitting inside; confirm the current setup before planning a dine-in meal. A dated review also called the price after discount good, but the only specific price cited was a 31 AED large-pizza offer criticised for having very sparse toppings.
