Papa Murphy’s has been hearing the same request over and over, and it’s finally giving in. Chunky Italian Sausage is back―and this time, it’s permanent.

Starting August 17th, the take-and-bake chain brought its long-requested Chunky Italian Sausage back to the menu for good, meaning you can add it to any Papa Murphy’s pizza from here on out. To mark the occasion, it’s also launching a brand-new pizza built to show the sausage off: Grandma’s Pizza, the biggest pizza Papa Murphy’s has ever made.
There’s more to this than the sausage coming back, so here’s what’s actually going on.
Sausage Is Officially Back For Good
The permanent news is the sausage.
Chunky Italian Sausage has built a loyal following, enough that guests kept asking for it back. Papa Murphy’s is now making it a permanent staple rather than giving everyone another limited-time comeback to stress about.
You can add it to any of Papa Murphy’s crusts and recipes, so you’re not locked into the new pizza if you already have a go-to order.
That’s the part that sticks around.
Then There’s The New Grandma’s Pizza
Grandma’s Pizza is a large, rectangular, pan-baked pie with a crispy crust and golden edges. The featured version comes layered with creamy red sauce, classic marinara, whole-milk mozzarella, Papa Murphy’s signature herb and cheese blend, and, of course, the returning Chunky Italian Sausage.
And yes, it’s Papa Murphy’s largest pizza offering yet.
The catch, though, is that while the sausage is permanent, Grandma’s Pizza itself is only available for a limited time, from August 17th through October 18th.
So if it’s the sausage you care about, there’s no rush. It’s not going anywhere this time. But if it’s Grandma’s Pizza that’s caught your eye, there’s a little more urgency.
You Can Build Your Own, Too
And if the featured sausage pizza isn’t your thing, you can also build your own Grandma’s Pizza with any two toppings for the same limited-time price.
Grandma’s Pizza starts at $14.99 in most markets, with prices of $15.99 in California and $16.99 in Alaska.
And because this is Papa Murphy’s, you pick it up fresh and unbaked, then bake it at home whenever you’re ready to eat.
Which means you can have pizza waiting in the fridge without having to decide exactly when you’re going to eat it. A pretty solid setup for anyone whose dinner plans change approximately five times a day.
The Sausage Isn’t Going Anywhere
Grandma’s Pizza may disappear after October 18th, but Chunky Italian Sausage is officially back for good.
So if you’ve been one of the people asking Papa Murphy’s to bring it back, it finally listened. Papa Murphy’s caved. And this time, it’s not taking the sausage away again.
