Our Sauces, Cheeses & Toppings
Top Pizza & Spaghetti House builds its pizzas from a small set of house standards: dough made fresh daily, homemade Signature Pizza Sauce on the pan classics and a distinct pizza sauce on the Detroit squares. The cheese lineup runs from 100 percent real mozzarella to cheddar and feta, with ten proteins from pepperoni to anchovy.
It Starts With the Dough
Every crust in the house starts as homemade dough, made fresh daily. That has been the standard here since 1968, and it is the reason the pan classics and the Detroit squares each bake up the way they should.
The Sauces
Each crust family carries its own sauce:
| Sauce | Where it lives |
|---|---|
| Signature Pizza Sauce | The homemade default on Pan and Featured pies |
| Pizza Sauce | The Detroit Deep Dish squares — its own formulation |
| Basil Cream, Meat, Hot Sauce, Salsa | Specific pies and pastas that call for them |
The Cheeses
100% real mozzarella is the house standard on the pan classics. The Detroit squares pair that mozzarella with cheddar. Feta appears where a pie calls for it, and a dairy-free substitute is available — see Dietary Options.
The Topping Board
Ten proteins anchor the topping list:
Hot Pepperoni · Cupping Pepperoni · Salami · Ham · Bacon · Italian Sausage · Ground Beef · Diced Chicken Breast · Shrimp · Anchovy
Vegetables, from mushrooms and green peppers to black olives, baby spinach, pineapple, and fresh tomato, round out the board, with hot honey as a finish. The same list covers extra toppings on the numbered classics and the choices on a Build Your Own — see how regulars build one.
Why It Matters
A short ingredient list, done properly, beats a long one done carelessly. We would rather make the dough every morning and let the same ten proteins carry forty-plus pizzas than chase novelty. See what they become in The Top Pizza Menu, Explained.
