Updated 2020! Papa Murphy’s offers take-and-bake pizzas in the U.S. and Canada. They have a menu of creative pizzas, but many people just show up and request toppings as they go. In theory, this makes it a very easy option for special diet diners. But their allergen chart leaves a little to be desired.
We did some sleuthing to create the list below, but verify the ingredients and allergens in store before ordering. Some of their online labeling wasn’t very clear. Needless to say, you should at the least request no cheese for your dairy-free pizza pie. Papa Murphy’s doesn’t yet have a dairy-free cheese alternative. To the best of our knowledge, this list covers both the U.S. and Canada.
No Dairy (Milk-Based) Ingredients (see disclaimer below)
- Crusts (see Allergen Note below) – Original, Thin, NY Crust, Gluten Free (Udi’s brand)
- Sauces (see Allergen Note below) – Traditional Pizza Sauce, Marinara Sauce, Barbecue Sauce, Sweet Chili Sauce, Olive Oil & Garlic, Burger Sauce (limited availability)
- Meat Toppings (see Allergen Note below) – Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Chicken (raised without antibiotics), Giant Pepperoni, Ground Beef, Italian Sausage, Pepperoni
- Other Toppings – Artichoke Hearts, Black Olives, Chopped Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper, Green Onions, Green Peppers, Jalapenos, Onion Mix, Mushrooms, Pineapple, Roma Tomatoes, Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Zesty Herb Blend, Zucchini
- Salad Dressings – 1000 Island Dressing
Other Allergen Notes:
- Papa Murphy’s customer service told me that none of their meats contain dairy, but online the ingredients show milk in the Spicy Fennel Sausage and Salami. Just to be certain, I am double checking that the lactic acid starter culture in the Pepperoni isn’t dairy derived.
- The salads, except for the Caeasar, might be dairy-free if you request no cheese. Verify the ingredients and any allergens in store.
Vegan Menu Items
According to Papa Murphy’s, all of their wheat-based crusts are vegan. The Udi’s gluten-free crust contains egg, so it isn’t vegan. Also, all of their sauces are vegan, except for the White Sauce, which contains dairy. They do not have any meat alternative toppings, but their vegetable toppings are obviously vegan-friendly.

Ugh! Why can’t i find the actual ingredients. I am allergic to corn and no one labels corn ingredients. :/ without the ingredient lists I have no clue if the pizza is safe.
I would still be careful with pepperoni…even though it’s “dairy-free,” it still might contain lactic acid. It’s used as a preservative in a lot of cured meats. So, for those like me who are lactose intolerant, pepperoni is still a no-no. But, if you are allergic to the milk protien, you should be okay…
Ann-Noel, good news! The lactic acid in pepperoni is rarely, if ever, from dairy. See an explanation on my Dairy Ingredient List – http://www.godairyfree.org/dairy-free-grocery-shopping-guide/dairy-ingredient-list-2. It is typically fermented on other types of sugars such as corn or molasses. However, keep an eye out for lactic acid starter culture. Though not always a problem, this is more likely grown using a dairy medium.
Will you ever be offering a gluten free crust for your customers who have celiac disease or a wheat/gluten allergy? Thank you!
