Toppers: Better than bartime
By Eamon Hegarty & Matt Payne
Pizza and beer. For decades, the staple foods of young scholars have been this simple. While recent years have seen a rise in the number of health-conscious individuals, for many nothing is more welcome at 2 a.m. than a delicious pizza covered in an assortment of meats, cheeses and veggie toppings. For such occasions, Toppers Pizza on Regent Street is our favorite. Why? We admit that there are a number of outstanding pizza joints in Madison, and although Toppers offers an exceptional standard assortment, there are two menu items which make them unique.
The first, and by far our favorite, are Topperstix. Sure, other restaurants have their own version of cheesy breadsticks, but no one makes them as well as Toppers. The cheese is fresh and delicious. The dough's texture is soft and chewy without being underdone. It's like combining the best part of a cheese pizza with the best part of a breadstick. Furthermore, you can order three dipping sauces to make these "stix" even more enjoyable.
The second thing Toppers has working in their favor is their house pizzas. Although they're little more expensive, they ‘re worth every penny, particularly if you're in the mood for more than bar-time food. From the Taco Topper to the Smokey BBQ Chicken, Toppers has something for every palate. Next to the Mac ‘N Cheese pizza, our favorite was the Potato Topper. This pizza consists of baked potatoes with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses sprinkled with bacon bits and green onions. On the side, Toppers offers the perfect palate cleanser of sour cream for a dipping sauce. This unusual yet ingenious mixture is truly mouth-watering and provides something that both pizza loving individuals and partygoers will enjoy.
