About Us
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. 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 works 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).
Today, we are ready to take this thing to the next level. Why should you care about all this? Here's why:

Why Choose Toppers?
Because we're special. The secret is that, as true pizza people, we've found people just like us— people who love all things pizza! It's in the air, and we can smell it. They're 18-34 and love our decadent flavor profiles and the party we bring from the moment they hear "Hello! Thanks for calling Toppers Pizza", to the glorious moment we deliver what they so desperately crave. We've seen Toppers tattoos and have delivered Topperstix to weddings. Our unique House Pizzas, plus Topperstix, plus one-of-a-kind marketing has built Toppers Nation and delivered the Craveworthiness everyone is talking about (and shuts out the competition).
Customers today want to do business with restaurants that care and do things the right way. We’re blessed to be in the pizza industry because not only is it a massive segment, but it’s dominated by the big chains that are fixated on the mass production of $5.99 products. That’s NOT Toppers. It’s easy to be special and differentiated when all of our main competitors are doing exactly the same thing as each other. At Toppers, we know who we are and are focused on executing at a high level.
Ideal Candidate
Toppers Pizza is a craveworthy and innovative pizza delivery concept. With Toppers, franchisees can capitalize on both a well-positioned concept and an innovative business model. Toppers was one of the few brands that opened stores during the pandemic. That's right, while many neighborhood restaurants were forced to close their doors for good, Toppers continued crushing it. That's why the Toppers team is looking for qualified entrepreneurs in key growth markets across the country. People who are eager to utilize the brand's well-positioned systems to achieve their dream of business ownership or who are looking to diversify their portfolio with a pizza concept.
Our most successful owners have high energy and are excellent communicators, leaders, and coaches to their team members. Obviously, applicants who have managed people in the restaurant industry in general, or the pizza delivery business, in particular, are especially well prepared for the work required. Retail managers or those who have retail business experience also have very useful experience. While such experience is helpful, it certainly is not a requirement.
Most people in the restaurant business today came from totally unrelated fields of work, and never had any intention of getting into restaurants. Once in, they found that it is consuming and rewarding work that can provide a lifetime of challenges and opportunities (they also love the free food). Our extensive management training program and the ongoing guidance from your Franchise Business Coach more than prepares you to manage and operate your store.
If you are considering owning a pizza place, you might as well own the best! We would love to tell you more about our Toppers Pizza franchise—contact us to learn about our brand and the next steps to Toppers Pizza ownership.
