Papa Murphy’s Just Added a New Meaty Italian Pizza — And It’s Only Here Through June 7

Healthy Fact of the Day

Take-and-bake pizza is a great weeknight option because you control when it goes in the oven — meaning no waiting around for delivery and no temptation to eat when it's still too hot. To lighten up a meaty pizza like this one, opting for Thin Crust cuts carbs and calories significantly, and loading a side salad alongside it means you're getting vegetables and fiber in the same meal. Sticking to two slices and saving the rest for lunch the next day is one of the easiest portion strategies for pizza nights.

Pizza night just got a loaded upgrade.

Papa Murphy’s launched its new Meaty Italian Pizza as a limited-time addition to its Papa’s Picks lineup, available now through June 7, 2026 at participating locations nationwide. It’s the chain’s most Italian-leaning pizza in recent memory — and at $12.99 for a large in most states, it’s priced right in line with Papa Murphy’s signature take-and-bake value.

What’s on It

The Meaty Italian Pizza builds on an olive oil blend and garlic sauce base rather than traditional tomato sauce — a meaningful departure from the standard Papa Murphy’s formula that gives the pizza a richer, more savory flavor foundation.

Loaded on top of that base:

  • Whole-milk mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
  • Salami
  • Mini cup pepperoni
  • Italian sausage
  • Zesty herbs

The combination of salami, cup pepperoni, and sausage makes this one of the meatier pies in the Papa’s Picks lineup, with the layered Italian cured meat profile giving it a distinctly deli-counter character compared to a standard pepperoni pizza.

Available in Two Sizes and Two Crust Styles

The Meaty Italian Pizza is available in large or family size, and on either Original Crust or Thin Crust. The Thin Crust option lets the meat and herb flavors come through without the bready base dominating — worth considering if you want the toppings to be the star.

Pricing

  • Most states: $12.99 (large)
  • California: $13.99
  • Alaska: $14.99

Pricing for family size and Thin Crust may vary by location.

About Papa’s Picks

Papa’s Picks is Papa Murphy’s rotating lineup of featured pizzas designed to offer a more curated selection alongside the full customizable menu. Current permanent Papa’s Picks include Double Shredded Pepperoni and 4-Cheese on Large Thin or Original Crust. The Meaty Italian is a limited-time addition to that lineup — here for a defined window rather than a permanent slot.

The Bottom Line

Papa Murphy’s Meaty Italian Pizza — loaded with salami, cup pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella, Parmesan, and garlic olive oil sauce — is available now through June 7 at participating locations. Order online at papamurphys.com or pick up in-store for a limited time.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Little Caesars’ Fan-Favorite Personal Pizza Deal Is Back

A pizza-and-bread combo can pack in a fair amount of refined carbs and sodium in one sitting, especially with dipping sauce added on top. To round things out, consider pairing the combo with a side salad or a piece of fruit to add some fiber, and going easy on the dipping sauce rather than using the full portion with every bite.

Cantonese BBQ Brisket Is Back at Panda Express After Selling Out Earlier This Summer

Pairing a high-protein entrée with the right sides can help round out a more balanced meal. Consider choosing a vegetable-based side like mixed veggies instead of fried rice or chow mein to add fiber without extra refined carbs, and opting for a bowl over a plate if you’re looking to manage overall portion size while still getting the full protein benefit of the entrée.

Wendy’s Halloween Kids’ Meal Is Back — And Adults Are Ordering It Too

Kids’ meals are portioned smaller than adult entrées, which can actually make them a reasonable option for a lighter meal or a snack-sized treat. To keep things balanced, consider pairing the meal with a side of apple bites instead of fries, choosing a lower-sugar beverage like milk or water over a fountain drink, and treating the Frosty as a dessert to enjoy on its own rather than adding it on top of a larger meal.
