Papa Murphy's Take 'n' Bake Pizza has permanently brought back chunky Italian sausage to its menu, and is launching Grandma's Pizza, an LTO available through Oct 18, according to a press release.

The rustic, rectangular, pan-baked pizza is Papa Murphy's largest pie to date.

Starting at $14.99, the featured Grandma's Pizza includes a crispy crust with golden edges, creamy red sauce, marinara, whole-milk mozzarella, an herb and cheese blend, and chunky Italian sausage. Customers can also customize a Grandma's Pizza with any two toppings for the same price.

While the Grandma's Pizza is only available for a limited time, customers can add the chunky Italian sausage to any Papa Murphy's crust and recipe permanently.

"When our guests start asking for something over and over, we pay attention," Dallas Massey, senior vice president of marketing for Papa Murphy's, said in the release. "Chunky Italian Sausage has built an incredibly loyal following, and we heard loud and clear that people wanted it back for good. Grandma's Pizza gave us the perfect canvas for this launch, but make no mistake: the Chunky Italian Sausage our guests love is officially back as a permanent addition to our menu, available on Grandma's Pizza or any other pizza we make."

Papa Murphy's has nearly 1,000 franchised and corporate-owned locations across the U.S. plus locations in Canada and the UAE
