Well I turned in my senior project today and decided to celebrate by eating an entire pizza. *devilish smile* They are right off of University near the scary Wal Mart. I went to this place called Papa Murphy's Pizza. They do a "take and bake" style pizza. So you go in, order the pizza you want, they make it for you, you take it home and cook it on your own time. This worked out really well for me because I could do dinner on my own time.
Here is the inside of the place. You can choose from thin, pan, or deep dish style pizza. There are many different types of sauces and toppings you can get (including zucchini!)
Below are my before and after. I got a thin crust pizza with creamy garlic sauce, mushrooms,tomatoes, and spinach. It was awesome!! I ate all of it except one piece! (as you can see in the after picture, I couldn't even wait long enough to get a photo before I started eating)
OH! I looooove papa murphys! what a hidden gem for pizza in central illinois! i generally avoid pizza down here (being from chicago and all, home of the best pizza in the world) BUT papa murphys is always my exception. i love how fresh it is and you get to bring home that amazing smell when you cook it yourself. their dessert pizza is also FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI love how you prefaced the location by saying it was near the "scary" Walmart. I would have to agree with Nicole that Chicago does put most if not all of the pizza in Peoria to shame. But both of you seem to think it's a reasonable substitute so I might have to indulge sometime this week.
ReplyDeleteI recommend it! Its no lou malnati's, but it does the trick down here in the south.
ReplyDeleteI really wish more companies took on this model of prepared meals. I love to cook, but often don't have the time to put it all together.....
ReplyDeleteUm, Drew, the prep part is a big part of the "cooking". Just turning on an oven isn't really doing anything. :)
ReplyDeleteBoys will be boys Heidi.
