The service started off pretty good but just kept going downhill after we were seated. We ordered the “feast for two.” Devin ordered the lasagna after the server assured him there were not any mushrooms in it. I got the fettuccine alfredo. When we got our food, it didn’t take long for Devin to find that the lasagna did have mushrooms, and lots of them. The server should know the menu better than that. If she didn’t, she should have found out before making promises. Fortunately, she brought a different entrée at no additional charge. Later, we were asked what kind of cookie we wanted for desert. We made are selection only to be told a few minutes later that they were out. Not impressed.

Their garlic bread is really good but everything else is so-so. The pasta sauce isn’t overly flavorful. The pizza is pretty good but you can find something just as good but at a better price somewhere else. Their homemade root beer is a popular item as well as their apple beer.
Atmosphere

It is a nice clean place. It is family friendly but doesn’t get too noisy. They are able to accommodate large groups. We definitely like the over-sized booths. When we were there they had someone going around making balloon animals for kids and whoever else wanted them. There is plenty of room in the waiting area at the front which many restaurants don’t have.
Our Recommendations
If you get the feast for two, there is no need to upgrade to the full salad bar. There is plenty to eat with what it already comes with.

We love to try different kinds of pizza and thought it’s time to try out the “meat lovers” pizza at Papa Murphy’s.

We have been to the Provo location several times since living here in Provo. It usually takes between 5-10 minutes for the pizza to be made, depending on how busy the place is. If you call your order in ahead of time, it ensures it will be ready when you get there and you have the convenience of going through the drive through to pick it up. We have always had a good experience when ordering. The staff is friendly and courteous and always willing to make a specialty pizza with various combinations.
Food: Chicago Style Pizza
Rating:
The Chicago Style Pizza is huge! It is a double layer pizza with lots of meats and cheese. It takes a while to cook (around 30 minutes as opposed to about 15 minutes for a regular pizza). It is a good pizza if you like meat. The down side to this pizza is that it is a little difficult to get the center cooked enough without overcooking the outer crust. Since it is so thick, the center tends to be a little soggy.

Our Recommendations
Always use a coupon. You can usually find them online and they rarely expire. Call your order ahead if it is a busy night like Friday night or if they are running a great special. They usually have their special posted on their street sign. Often times they make dozens of their specials for the day so if there is a wait, this may be a fast alternative. Go for a single layer pizza instead a stuffed. They cook faster and more evenly. Don’t be afraid to ask if they can do something special, like two different sauces. The gourmet vegetarian pizza is my favorite.
