Papa Murphy’s International, America’s largest take ‘n’ bake pizza chain, has been named the 2008 Chain of the Year by Pizza Today magazine. The announcement is in the magazine’s June 2008 issue. The company is a three-time recipient of the accolade, first in 2001 and again in 2006, and is the only chain to receive it more than once.

“The pizza industry has been on a roller coaster of sorts over the past 12 months, but Papa Murphy’s has been straight and steady,” says Jeremy White, editor-in-chief at Pizza Today.
