Build Your Own Pizza Like a Regular: A Topping Guide

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 ten 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

Ten proteins are on the board: hot pepperoni, cupping pepperoni, salami, ham, bacon, Italian sausage, ground beef, diced chicken breast, shrimp, 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 comes two ways. On the pan crust it is numbers 26, 27, and 28 on the board: two, three, or four toppings, in all three sizes. On the Detroit side it is a three-topping deep dish square. Both carry a loaded build comfortably. Match the ambition to the base and you will order like you have been coming here for years.
