Description
When Scott Gittrich opened the
first Toppers Pizza in Whitewater,
Wisconsin 25 years ago, he did
so with one goal in mind—to
change the landscape of the
competitive pizza industry, one
delicious box full of Pizza and
Topperstix at a time. Since then,
Toppers has established an audacious reputation as the forwardthinking pizza pioneers who
never stop innovating. We’ve
formulated the perfect recipe to
appeal to both pizza enthusiasts
and savvy investors. Toppers
is one of the fastest growing
better-pizza chains in the United
States. Our brand has doubled
in size over the last three years
and completely sold out three
states based on growth spurred
by both existing franchisees and
established multi-unit operators.
We love dense residential areas,
colleges, hotels, business parks,
hospitals, and entertainment
districts
