"A lot of time, love and thoughtfulness went into creating this product," says Jenifer Anhorn, Chief Marketing Officer at Papa Murphy's. "We wanted to make family pizza night even more fun and we've met that goal with the Mini Murph. During the testing process, many parents told us that it wasn't only fun, the kids actually liked that it gave them a role in the family's meal preparation process. Others loved using the Mini Murph as an activity at their child's birthday party." 

As with Papa Murphy's other pizzas, the Mini Murph bakes in a customer's 425 degree oven for 10-14 minutes. The price starts at $3 and is available at participating locations nationwide.
