Updated January 2023! Papa Murphy’s offers take-and-bake pizzas in the U.S. and Canada. And they are the only chain pizzeria we know of that has a full Dairy-Free Cheese Menu, complete with both vegan and meaty options! That said, some of their “dairy-free cheese” menu items need modifications for dairy-free pizza needs. But don’t worry, we have the full quick guide below, along with lists for custom ordering your perfect pizza!
Papa Murphy’s Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan Options
This menu guide includes dairy-free options first, followed by build-your-own pizza components. Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks. Please note that this guide is for the U.S. locations. Options may vary in other countries.
Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: Papa Murphy’s does not use peanuts or tree nuts in any of their menu items. Ironically, all of the following non-dairy items listed are made without eggs, except the 1000 Island Dressing and the gluten-free crust. At last check, the gluten-free crust, vegan cheese, all toppings, and salad items listed below were made without soy. The wheat crusts and sauces contain refined soy oil. All non-dairy pizza sauces, cheese, toppings, and salad options listed below are made without gluten. Substitute the gluten-free crust for the pizzas. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

All desserts at Papa Murphy’s, including the Cinnamon Wheel and Cookies, contain milk.

Nervous but should be ok
Cheese was all over the work area & in all of the toppings. I had to guide the young man what section of the containers to grab my toppings from in order to not get cheese on my pizza.
Amazing non dairy cheese!
I am so thrilled!
No Egg in Crust
Was checking to see if I can/ could eat from here. Yes yes I can! My favorite Chicken garlic pizza I can still eat it no egg. It’s hard to find stuff to eat when you have an egg allergy and I can still eat my papa Murphy’s pizza thank you.
Vegan pizza is life!
So I ordered a 16″ traditional crust w red sauce, banana peppers, mushrooms, bell peppers, onion and spinach. $14.12 out the door. Brought it home and added green and black olives, soyrizo(vegan chorizo) and daiya mozz cheeze! Pizza heaven! Makes 8 bigass slices!

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!
