When the folks at Top Class Pizza say every day is a new day, they really mean it. That's because this California-based pizza joint starts from scratch day after day, artfully crafting its gourmet and specialty pies one fresh ingredient at a time. Here's why Top Class's creations are truly top-class:

• The dough: It's hand-tossed fresh every day. In fact, Top Class's chefs utilize a special tossing style in order to create the company's unique signature crust.
• The sauce: The California-grown tomatoes used in Top Class's sauce go from the field to the can in less than six hours. Once the sauce is ready, it's allowed to cure for a day to ensure all the flavors come together perfectly.
• The cheese: High-quality mozzarella is grated in-house—usually, the alluring scent of freshly grated cheese escapes the kitchen and drifts around the restaurant.
• The veggies: The vegetables are bought fresh from local merchants every day, ensuring their freshness while also supporting local purveyors.
