My family and I came to this Toppers location for our first time (near downtown Ventura) and immediately were disappointed. The two toppers associates (male and female) mandating the register did not greet us promptly (mind you there was no one in line). As we were waiting to be greeted or to be asked if we were ready to order, both Topper's associates waited in silence and created an awkward moment. After I made contact with the female associate and patiently waited she finally asked if we were ready. My immediate response was “Yes; are you?” I guess I should have just said yes, I am ready. At this point, everything got more uncomfortable.
Upon concluding our order and walking away to get our drinks, my wife and son noticed that both associates were laughing at us (or me for that matter). Their laughter continued for a little while and noticed continued eye contact. This made us uncomfortable and upset to the point that I began to walk toward them to confront them and inquire about their behavior toward us. However, my wife reminded me that they are handling our food and we do not need to make things more uncomfortable. Overall, my family felt bullied, unwelcome, and disrespected.
I am a native of Ventura County and have been a long-time patron of Topper’s Pizza. We will not part ways; however, we will never return to this location. I hope no one is subjected to this awful...
Read moreToppers Pizza, Highly recommended by locals of Santa Barbara, CA lthat I visited from out-of-town (Sacramento, CA Area). Well, they (my Co-Workers) are so right to put Toppers Pizza in high regards and praise.
Forewarned that the Pizza is worth the price and that price point $12 for a small pizza "Toppers Combo Top Hit Combo". On this "combo", I requested as Half "combo" and Hawaiian style (Canadian Bacon & Pineaple). The toppings go to edge of the crust and plentiful and tasteful it was.
I also sprang for some Hot Wings. The selection of sauce rubs include (Asian, Lemon Peper, BBQ and Nashville Hot). Selecting the Nashville Hot had a ting of sweet upon the bit of that crispy flavorful skin and then... that heat from the fried in sauce bites me back.
Now, there is similar pizza of this style in Northern California Silicon Valley called "Stuft Pizza" very similar to that of "Toppers". In fact, they are very alike and both establishments are on equal playing field. So either in Ventura area or Fremont ( East Bay) areas, stop by the best pizzas of their respective areas.
I have to rate Toppers Pizza at 4 Stars. Although, very delicious, a little high price point, it was worth it. However, unlike Stuft Pizza, they didn't honor Armed Forces or Veteran's status. Otherwise, the 5 Stars would have been a given. I...
Read moreThe pizza is good but it's out of control expensive!!! It was $100 for one large pizza with two toppings, one small pizza with cheese, two small salads and one large salad (and the small salads are very small. I'm talking the size of one of your hands cupped.) And there really isn't much of a salad bar.(total ripoff!!) And four sodas. But the pizza was good. And the restaurant is really dirty. We went one time when there was really no one in there and none of the tables were bussed. We had to go from table to table to table to finally find a clean table. I can't believe it!!! Almost every single table was just filthy!! Another time we went in there and it was quite busy and we finally found a table and had to go look for somebody to bus that table and wipe it down. It's just weird that they don't have anyone cleaning tables All in all I felt that its way overpriced and not very clean. I will say though that I might order their pizza again but I will have it delivered. And only if I have extra money because like I said it's very expensive. I wish Little Caesars...
