I don’t go there anymore anyway, I think they may have quit using real cheese a few years ago or at least made a big change, they just don’t taste good to me anymore.
None of the chain's pizzas taste good to me any more. I really believe it's because they started a long time ago on "cost savings" ideas such as, "Let's omit two pepperoni slices per pizza, while at the same time raise the price slightly and we'll save x amount of dollars every year".
Hey, since that worked so well, let's use an ounce less of sauce and an ounce less of cheese too, a year or two later, do the same thing all over again.
Resulting in today's chain pizza that's a thinly covered piece of card board tasting crust.
In my opinion, Papa Murphy's is a cut above the rest of the lot, not cheap and you do have to bake it yourself but not too bad for a "store bought" pizza. I still like the pizza I make myself better though.
P.S. I do not ever buy pizza with pepperoni on it, since manufacturers figured out how to make it out of "mechanically separated" turkey and/or chicken, instead of pork. I detest poultry and buy my pepperoni separately. They make it from birds for one reason, birds are cheaper than hogs.
They used to use a 3-cheese blend and several years ago they switched to mozzarella only (and u could also b right about it being imitation)
That’s why it isnt good anymore
