About Toppers Pizza

Scott Gittrich got his start in the pizza world working as a deliver driver for Domino’s while attending the University of Illinois in 1984. He worked his way up to director of operations for a group of Domino’s franchises before deciding in 1991 to open his own pizza restaurant: Toppers. The company began franchising in 2000.

Toppers’ menu features signature pizzas like the Mac ‘N Cheese, Gyro Topper, and Hangover Helper, as well as quesadillas, chicken wings, toasted sandwiches, and breadsticks.
