Aramark Higher Education has launched Topio’s, a pizza concept designed for college environments that menus old-world style pizza that can be customized with modern flavors and spices. The “old-world trappings” include fresh pressed dough for thin crusts, organic tomatoes and a traditional blend of mozzarella and asiago cheeses. Slices can be customized with a variety of spice blends such as Smokin’ Hot, Cheesy Hot, Spicy Hot and traditional oregano. The menu also features a Daily Creation pizza as well as traditional favorites like cheese, pepperoni and veggie, as well as strombolis and calzones.
“Topio’s was created based on extensive, proprietary research with Gen-Yers around the country,” says Naala Royale, vice president of marketing. “Our customers want a pizza concept that stays true to old-world tradition in terms of great dough, sauce and cheese, but brings an element of new-world customization with the infusion of modern flavors and spices.”
