Topper's Pizza Canada is a Canadian chain of pizzerias. The chain was launched in 1982 in Sudbury, Ontario by Ron Toppazzini as Mr. Topper's Pizza. Topper’s Pizza is best known for their Authentic ItalianBread Crust™. The chain has 35 locations throughout Ontario.
History
Giuseppi Toppazzini relocated to Canada in 1904 from Italy and opened up a bakery called Toppazzini Bakery in Ontario's Little Italy. The company was passed down from Toppazzini to son Bruce Toppazzini, then Ron Toppazzini. Ron Toppazzini, third generation of the family, turned their Italian bread recipe into pizza dough in 1970. Mr. Topper’s Pizza was founded by Ron Toppazzini in 1982. After two years, the restaurant was successful enough to expand. The most recent owners, Keith Toppazzini, president of Topper's Franchise Company and Kelly Toppazzini, chairman and CEO, sons of Ron Toppazzini, shortened the company name to Topper’s Pizza. As Topper's Pizza, the company has grown in Ontario to more than 37 locations. The 100-year-old family recipe pizza dough is made daily in the individual restaurants.
Charity of Choice
Topper's Charity of Choice – SickKids Foundation Selected by Keith and Kelly Toppazzini, partnering with Toronto’s SickKids Hospital for sick children is felt to be in-line with the Topper’s Pizza company mission and values such as strong family values. SickKids’ AboutKidsHealth program funds are collected through year-round in-store donations which are contributed to the world-leading education online resource which provides respected and medically proven health information for Canadian families of the paediatric patients.[1]
