Papa Murphy's Nutrition Calculator: The Short Answer
The Papa's All Meat Slice (Large) contains 1029mg of sodium — 45% of the 2,300mg daily guideline, in a single item, before any side or drink. It is the saltiest item at Papa Murphy's, and the clearest example of why sodium, not calories, is this menu's quiet problem.
Most people underestimate restaurant sodium because the saltiest items rarely taste extreme: the salt is distributed through breading, cheese, cured meat, pickles and sauces. The ranking below puts the whole top end in one place.
The Highest-Sodium Papa Murphy's Items, Ranked
From the Papa Murphy's calculator. A sensible single-meal sodium target is roughly 700–900mg — about a third of the day — which is why items above 1,500mg deserve a deliberate decision rather than a default.
| Item | Sodium | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Papa's All Meat Slice (Large) | 1029mg | 390 | 20.5g | 35g | 20g |
| Stuffed Pizza Slice (Large) | 1020mg | 430 | 18g | 44g | 20g |
| Cowboy Pizza Slice (Large) | 880mg | 370 | 16g | 36g | 18g |
| Chicken Garlic Slice (Large) | 780mg | 340 | 15g | 35g | 15g |
| Chicken Caesar Salad (portion) | 760mg | 330 | 22g | 12g | 21g |

Ordering Low-Sodium at Papa Murphy's
Anchor on the low end: the 2-Liter Soft Drink (12 oz pour) has just 35mg of sodium, which proves a low-sodium build exists on this menu. Around that anchor, the rules are simple — one salty extra at most, sauces on the side, and fresh sides over pickled or processed ones.
The calculator makes this manageable because its sodium bar moves as you build: add items one at a time and watch which single addition does the damage. Swapping that one component, rather than abandoning the meal, is usually enough to bring a 1,800mg order back under 900mg.
- Lowest sodium: 2-Liter Soft Drink (12 oz pour) — 35mg
- Highest sodium: Papa's All Meat Slice (Large) — 1029mg
- Daily guideline: 2,300mg (FDA); many clinicians aim nearer 1,500mg

| Item | Sodium | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Liter Soft Drink (12 oz pour) | 35mg | 150 | 0g | 41g | 0g |

What One Papa's All Meat Slice Does to Your Day
Set against the standard 2,000-calorie reference day, one Papa's All Meat Slice (Large) uses 20% of the day's calories, 41% of the protein target, 13% of the carb allowance and 26% of the fat budget. Its 1029mg of sodium is 45% of the 2,300mg daily guideline — the figure that most often surprises people, because sodium concentrates in restaurant food far faster than calories do.
None of those percentages is a verdict on its own. A Papa's All Meat Slice at 20% of the day's calories can be a sensible meal anchor; the same item plus a large side and a sweetened drink can quietly pass 60% of the day before dinner. The calculator's daily-value bars exist for exactly this check: build the whole order, not just the headline item, and read the day you are actually committing to.
- Papa's All Meat Slice (Large): 390 cal · 20.5g protein · 35g carbs · 20g fat
- Sodium: 1029mg (45% of the daily guideline)
- Sugar: 6.7g of the 50g daily value · Fibre: 0.4g of 28g
The Full Nutrition Profile of the Papa's All Meat Slice
Here is the complete panel for the Papa's All Meat Slice (Large), exactly as the Papa Murphy's calculator carries it, with each nutrient also expressed as a percentage of its daily value on a 2,000-calorie reference diet. Read down the percentage column rather than the grams: it is the fastest way to see which nutrient this item is really about. For the Papa's All Meat Slice, the standout is sodium, at 45% of a full day in a single item.
Two cautions belong with any single-item panel. First, published values describe the standard build — your portion, your sauce quantity and your size can move every line. Second, percentages are shares of a whole day, not grades: an item at 45% of the day's sodium is a problem only in the context of what else the day holds, which is why the calculator totals the full order rather than judging items one at a time.
| Nutrient | Amount | % Daily Value |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 390 | 20% |
| Protein | 20.5g | 41% |
| Carbohydrates | 35g | 13% |
| Total Fat | 20g | 26% |
| Dietary Fibre | 0.4g | 1% |
| Sugars | 6.7g | 13% |
| Sodium | 1029mg | 45% |
Where This Answer Sits on the Whole Papa Murphy's Menu
Zoom out and the Papa Murphy's menu tracked here spans 14 items across 5 categories, from the Garden Salad (family serving portion) at 140 calories to the Stuffed Pizza Slice (Large) at 430 — a 3-fold spread inside one restaurant. The average item is about 276 calories, 0 items pass 700 calories, and 14 of 14 sit under 500. Any single number quoted from this menu means little until it is placed inside that spread.
That spread is also the opportunity. A menu this wide almost always contains a build for the goal you actually have — the protein target, the sodium ceiling, the 500-calorie lunch — provided the order is assembled deliberately rather than inherited from habit. The rankings in this article are the map; the calculator is where you test the route before you travel it.
- Menu range: 140 cal (Garden Salad (family serving portion)) to 430 cal (Stuffed Pizza Slice (Large))
- 7 items under 300 calories · 14 under 500 · average 276
- Most protein-dense: Chicken Caesar Salad (portion) at 6.7g protein per 100 cal
The One Swap That Changes the Answer
If the Papa's All Meat Slice (Large) is your usual order and the numbers above are more than you wanted, the highest-value single change on this menu is the Chicken Caesar Salad (portion): 330 calories against 390 (60 fewer), 22g of protein against 20.5g, and 760mg of sodium against 1029mg (269mg less salt). One swap, repeated weekly, is worth more than a month of good intentions.
Not every swap has to be a downgrade in enjoyment: the pattern that works at Papa Murphy's is swapping the component, not the meal — the same style of order rebuilt around a lighter anchor, with the sauce, cheese or side demoted from default to deliberate. Price both versions in the calculator once and the better default usually picks itself.
