Our Story

From Humble Beginnings

toppers pizza began as a dream to bring authentic, handcrafted pizza to the heart of Denver. Founded by passionate food enthusiasts, we started with a simple mission: create exceptional pizza using the finest ingredients and traditional techniques passed down through generations.

What started as a small neighborhood pizzeria has grown into Denver's beloved pizza destination, but our commitment to quality and community remains unchanged.

Every pizza at toppers pizza is a work of art. Our skilled chefs hand-stretch each dough, use only the freshest ingredients, and bake every pizza to perfection in our traditional ovens. We believe that great pizza comes from great ingredients and passionate preparation.

From our signature sauce made daily from premium tomatoes to our carefully selected cheese blends, every element is chosen to create the perfect flavor harmony that our customers have come to love.
