How to Build Your Own Pizza Like a Regular

Summary

A guide to ordering Build Your Own pizza the way experienced Top Pizza customers do. It suggests starting from a numbered pan classic and adjusting, splitting one pizza half-and-half between two combinations, choosing from the thirteen protein toppings on the menu, and applying the dietary swaps — the medium-size gluten-free crust and the dairy-free cheese substitute.

A blank pizza is intimidating. Decades of proven combinations already live on our menu, so the smartest builders do not start from zero.

Start From a Classic, Then Adjust

Pick the numbered pan pizza closest to what you are craving, then change one thing. Pepperoni and mushroom, minus the mushroom, plus bacon — that is a build. Working from a proven combination keeps the pie balanced, because the classics earned their numbers by working.

Know the Protein Roster

Thirteen proteins are on the board: pepperoni, salami, chicken, Italian sausage, chorizo, ground beef, prosciutto, hot capicolla, roast beef, bacon, shrimp, ham, and anchovy. Two or three toppings is the sweet spot — past four, everything fights for the same bite.

Split It Half-and-Half

One pizza can carry two builds. Go half loaded, half simple, and both appetites at the table win. Just say so when ordering.

Use the Dietary Swaps

A gluten-free crust is available in the medium size, and dairy-free cheese can substitute on any build. Both are real swaps, not separate menus — your combination stays yours. Details in our dietary options guide.

Pick Your Canvas

Build Your Own runs on pan and thin crust. Pan carries heavy builds comfortably; thin crust rewards restraint — two toppings, nicely spread. Match the ambition to the base and you will order like you have been coming here for years.
