Behind the Dough: Toarmina’s Fresh-Made Pizza

Toarminas fresh made pizza

Have you ever wondered what makes a truly great pizza? It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience. Since 1987, Toarmina’s Pizza has been dedicated to crafting that perfect experience, built on a foundation of quality, family tradition, and an unwavering commitment to freshness. It’s a passion that goes into every slice we serve. So, what exactly makes our pizza so special? It starts with a simple promise: never compromise on quality.

Fresh Made Dough Daily

The heart of any exceptional pizza is its crust. At Toarmina’s, we believe the best crust comes from dough that is made fresh every single day. We never use frozen dough. Our team arrives early each morning to prepare it right in-house, using a time-honored recipe that ensures a perfect texture—light and airy on the inside with a satisfying crispness on the outside.

This daily ritual is central to our philosophy. It means your pizza is built on a foundation that is as fresh as possible. This process guarantees that whether you order a small pizza for one or our famous 24-inch pie for a crowd, the crust will have that authentic, delicious flavor and consistency that simply can’t be replicated with pre-made or frozen alternatives.

The Perfect Melt: 100% Wisconsin Cheese

What’s a pizza without cheese? We top our fresh dough with only the finest 100% Wisconsin mozzarella. We specifically choose cheese that is never frozen, which helps maintain its creamy texture and rich flavor. To ensure maximum freshness and the perfect melt, we shred large blocks of mozzarella in-store throughout the day.

This extra step makes a significant difference. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives to prevent clumping, which can affect how it melts and tastes. By shredding our own, we deliver a pure, gooey, and flavorful cheese pull in every bite. It’s a small detail, but it’s one of the many that sets Toarmina’s apart.

The Secret Ingredient: Grandma Toarmina’s Sauce

Every family has its secrets, and ours is a delicious one. Our pizza sauce is based on Grandma Toarmina’s original recipe, a treasured formula passed down through generations. We make our sauce using all-natural ingredients, starting with sun-ripened tomatoes grown in California.

What makes this sauce truly special is what we leave out. You won’t find any citric acid or artificial preservatives in our recipe. This results in a sauce that is naturally sweet, robust, and full of authentic tomato flavor. It’s the perfect complement to our fresh dough and creamy mozzarella, creating a balanced and memorable taste that has been a cornerstone of our brand from the very beginning.

Quality You Can Taste: Superior Toppings

Eating Pizza with quality toppings

A pizza is a canvas, and the toppings are the colors that bring it to life. We take great care in sourcing every single ingredient that goes on our pizzas. Our commitment to quality extends to our meats and vegetables, which are selected to provide the best possible flavor and freshness.

We use soy-free meats, ensuring a higher quality and better taste for our pepperoni, sausage, and other protein options. Our vegetables are delivered fresh and sliced in-store daily. From crisp green peppers and sweet onions to earthy mushrooms, you can taste the difference that fresh-cut produce makes. We believe that quality should never be sacrificed for convenience.

Taste the Toarmina’s Difference

Our passion for quality is at the core of everything we do. From the dough we make each morning to the fresh vegetables we slice by hand, we pour our dedication into every pizza. We believe our community deserves the best, and we are proud to continue the traditions that started in our family kitchen decades ago.

The Art of Pizza Toppings

pizza toppings

Pizza is a universal food beloved by nearly everyone. A blank canvas of dough transforms into something magical when topped with the right combination of flavors. But here’s the thing about pizza toppings—not all of them are created equal. Some are adored worldwide, while others are surprisingly divisive.

Whether you’re a purist who sticks to the classics or an adventurous eater who loves experimenting with bolder options, this article will highlight the most popular and polarizing pizza toppings. Plus, we’ll show you how Toarmina’s Pizza takes your pizza-topping game to the next level, offering options to please the most discerning palates.

The Most Popular Pizza Toppings

Some pizza toppings have earned universal acclaim. They are the classic choices that most of us can’t imagine a pizza night without. Here’s a rundown of the crowd favorites:

Pepperoni

Pepperoni reigns supreme as the most popular pizza topping worldwide. Its rich, savory flavor and enticing crispiness when baked make it an easy go-to. Research backs it up, too. A survey by YouGov found that 64% of Americans consider pepperoni their favorite topping.

Mozzarella

While cheese isn’t technically a “topping,” mozzarella is the glue that holds all great pizzas together (literally). The melty, stretchy richness from high-quality mozzarella is a defining element in any great pizza.

Mushrooms

Earthy and umami-rich mushrooms are another all-star pizza topping. They pair beautifully with nearly any ingredient, from traditional pepperoni to unconventional truffle oil drizzles.

Sausage

Spicy or mild, sausage delivers a punch of meaty, seasoned flavor. It’s often paired with green peppers and onions for a classic trio of ingredients.

Veggies

Green peppers, red onions, olives, and fresh tomatoes all cater to vegetarians or anyone looking to add freshness and a crisp texture to their pizza.

PineapplePinapple cut for topping on pizza

Ah, pineapple. The sweetness of this tropical fruit, especially when paired with salty Canadian bacon or ham, makes Hawaiian pizza a cult favorite. Despite some strong opinions to the contrary, pineapple pizza remains one of the world’s most requested pizza types.

Toppings that Divide Pizza Lovers

Now, we’ve covered the toppings everyone loves—but what about the toppings that stir up controversy? Certain ingredients divide pizza lovers into passionate camps of “pro” and “anti.”

Pineapple

We mentioned pineapple in the popular section, but this topping also garners a fair share of detractors. The infamous “pineapple on pizza debate” continues to polarize the internet, sparking heated opinions every time it’s discussed.

Anchovies

This salty, fishy topping is one of the most divisive pizza ingredients. While anchovy enthusiasts love the bold flavor it brings, others find it overpowering.

Blue Cheese

A sophisticated topping for adventurous eaters, blue cheese’s pungent smell and taste make it an acquired taste. While it pairs beautifully with complementary ingredients like pears or prosciutto, it’s not for everyone.

Corn

Corn is a common pizza topping in certain countries, such as Japan and Brazil, but in many parts of the world, it raises eyebrows as an unconventional choice.
