Why Own a Toppers Pizza Restaurant?
Toppers Pizza is an ever-evolving brand that has capitalized on technology and a booming pizza culture to do what other big-name brands cannot — give customers what they want. Our “Never Settle” attitude has allowed us to corner an untapped segment of the pizza industry and continues to fuel our mission to be the best in the business.
It all starts with our food. Setting the standard for high-quality pizza means that we make our dough from scratch every day, we use real Wisconsin cheese, and we never stop creating bolder and more flavorful recipes. Every Toppers pizza is crafted with love, personalized with care and baked to be unapologetically exceptional in every way.
Our focus on technology means that we can provide customers with a first-class experience and franchisees with reliable, cutting-edge technology to run their businesses. We pioneered a customized POS and online ordering platform that work in sweet harmony, turning the average phone into a remote control for pizza. The end result is a happier customer (hello, speedy delivery) and higher unit-level economics (hello, higher check averages).
