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, light tomato sauce on the thin crust line, and a distinct pizza sauce on the Detroit squares. The cheese lineup runs from 100 percent real mozzarella to fresh mozzarella, cheddar, feta, and ricotta, with thirteen proteins from pepperoni to prosciutto.
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, thin crusts, and 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 |
| Light Tomato Sauce | The Thin Crust line |
| Pizza Sauce | The Detroit Deep Dish squares — its own formulation |
| 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 Thin Crust and Detroit lines step up to fresh mozzarella, with cheddar joining on the Detroit squares. Feta and ricotta appear where a pie or pasta calls for them, and a dairy-free substitute is available — see Dietary Options.
The Topping Board
Thirteen proteins anchor the topping list:
Pepperoni · Salami · Chicken · Italian Sausage · Chorizo · Ground Beef · Prosciutto · Hot Capicolla · Roast Beef · Bacon · Shrimp · Ham · Anchovy
Vegetables, from mushrooms and green peppers to black olives, spinach, and fresh tomato, round out the board on the numbered classics and the Build Your Own form — 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 thirteen proteins carry forty-plus pizzas than chase novelty. See what they become in The Top Pizza Menu, Explained.
