Papa Murphy's | Take 'N' Bake Pizza — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

Coming from someone who worked here for 2 weeks, this is not the kind of place you want to eat at. The sanitization standards are non existent. The front sink that is most accessible to wash your hands does not work, none of the employees wash their hands and no one wore gloves when handling the food. A lot of the pizza’s that would be made in advance like the cowboy would be in that freezer for way past their expiration date and would still be used to give out to customers. The dough itself has a 3 day expiration date when after that 3 days you’re supposed to throw it out, but a lot of that dough would still be used to make pizzas and be given out to customers on a regular basis to “save money”. The dishwasher cleaning standards are non existent as well, with the sink filled with soap being completely filled with gunk and filth and not be changed throughout the entire day, none of the bowls, containers, knives, or mixing equipment was ever truly cleaned. The sanitation buckets are supposed to be changed every 3 hours due to debris and food getting inside of it but those buckets would stay there the whole day and get extremely dirty and gross making the countertops extremely dirty and never clean. And last but not least, the reason I quit was because I had found meatballs in the bottom of the food drawer that had been 2 months expired and had mold caked all over them. When I asked the general manager of the store where I should throw them away, he said to just cut off the parts with mold and leave the rest. Someone actually bought those meatballs that day and to that person I’m sorry I wasn’t able to warn you about it and I hope you’re doing okay. In all this restaurant is a major health hazard and should not...

All I wanted was a pizza on my birthday. Just a Chicago stuffed to the face with beer and court tv. They close at 9p on the weekdays. I called to place an order on a Monday at 8:30p. If you've been to Papa Murphy's, you know that's more than enough notice for 1 pizza. First girl answered the phone sounded like she was 13 and immediately stated they were not serving pizzas after she stated the store name. I was frustrated from a previous pizza incident that occurred about 30mins prior to this one so I hung up in frustration. Called back and got Nick and asked what time they closed. Politely he stated 9 BUT they are not serving anymore pizzas tonight. I asked why since they do not close until 9 and he stated it was because they were really busy that day. Uummmm no no no. You cant just turn down a customer and close early because YOU had a busy day. I was amazed he just admitted it like that. I confronted him on it and asked the managers name and he gave me his and Harmons name without incident. I called and spoke to Harmon and she agreed it was not handled properly and helped me with a 50% off next purchase without incident. I LOVE Papa Murphys but tonight's experience kinda sucked. It's rare but I am sure they will work on the issue at hand and keep being the Papa Murphys...

This place is going down hill. We moved here about 3 years ago. It was good then. Since then the pizzas have gotten smaller, have less toppings, and the price has gotten way higher. I only order now when they have specials. For a few bucks more I can have cooked pizza that tastes waaaaay better. Tonight my husband wanted to try their Calzones. I got him 2 as he's a big guy. Cab you spell DISAPPOINTING!!! THEY ARE SO SMALL!!!! 2 is not enough to fill him up. The photos show then next to my hand. I have pudgy fingers, but my hands are small. You can't even see it under my hand!!! I think my pizza business belongs elsewhere...
