Papa Murphy’s Pizza

Review by eFreeware

Ordering take-and-bake pizza usually means one of two things: calling the store and hoping the person on the other end catches every detail, or driving over and ordering at the counter. Neither is much fun when you already know exactly what you want and just need it ready. The Papa Murphy's Pizza app is the chain's own attempt to remove that friction, and it has been on Google Play since September 2018.

It is published by Papa Murphy's itself, sits in the Food & Drink category, and is free to download. The app centers on two jobs: placing an order for pickup, curbside or delivery, and managing the MySLICE Rewards side of being a regular customer. If you already order from the chain more than occasionally, the appeal is fairly obvious.

Built for the regular, not the curious

The app is clearly designed around repeat customers. A MySLICE account lets you save favorites, so the order you keep coming back to does not have to be rebuilt from scratch each time. That is the feature I would expect to matter most to anyone who has a standing Friday order or a household with strong opinions about toppings.

The second audience is the rewards chaser. MySLICE Rewards is woven into the app rather than kept separate, so the account you use to order is the same one tracking your rewards. For someone who visits often enough for rewards to accumulate, having ordering and earning in one place is the sensible arrangement.

If you are only trying Papa Murphy's for the first time, the app still works as a menu browser. You can look through the menu and find items you have not tried before deciding what to order. It is a reasonable way to get oriented, though the case for keeping it installed gets stronger once you have a usual order worth saving.

Ordering without the phone call

Having curbside as a distinct option is the detail I find most useful, since it suits the way take-and-bake pizza is often bought, on the way home or between other errands. You choose the method that fits your trip rather than adapting your trip to the store.

Favorites are tied to the MySLICE account. For anyone who orders the same few pizzas regularly, that turns a multi-step order into something closer to a confirmation.

Notifications cover local promotions and featured products. That is a double-edged feature by nature: it can surface a deal running at your nearby store, or it can be noise you would rather not have. For a chain with regional offers there is a real case for leaving them on.

The menu, and finding something new

Beyond ordering, the app includes the full menu to browse. This matters more than it sounds for a chain where the lineup changes and seasonal items come and go. If you tend to order the same thing, browsing is how you notice what you have been missing.

The developer frames the app as a way to discover something new, and the menu browser is where that happens. It is not a separate feature so much as the same catalog you order from, presented for reading rather than buying. For a household that argues over what to get, that is a useful place to settle it before anyone commits.

What it costs, and what it does not

The app is free to download. It carries no ads and no in-app purchases, so there is no second layer of monetization sitting between you and the order button.

The rewards side is the MySLICE Rewards program, which the developer presents as making ordering more rewarding for regular customers.

The most recent update, from February 2026, is described as minor enhancements, bug fixes and performance improvements. The app has been out since 2018.

How it compares with the alternatives

The obvious alternative is ordering at the counter or by phone, which costs nothing to set up and works for anyone who does not want another app on their phone. The app's advantage is saved favorites and rewards tracking, neither of which a phone call gives you.

A general delivery marketplace is the other comparison. Those apps cover many restaurants at once, which is useful if your household never agrees on one place. A single-brand app like this one is narrower by design, but it is also the only place where MySLICE Rewards and saved Papa Murphy's favorites live together.

There is also the question of whether you order often enough to care. Rewards and favorites both reward frequency; someone who orders twice a year gets less from either. That is not a flaw in the app so much as the shape of what it offers.

A keeper for the Friday-night regular

It is free and it has been maintained with periodic fixes since 2018.

It is best suited to people who already order from Papa Murphy's regularly and would rather skip the phone call. If you have a usual order, the saved favorites and rewards tracking are the reasons to keep it installed. If you are ordering once in a while, the menu browser alone may be enough, and the app will not ask anything more of you than that.
