In a recent article on&nbsp;TheStreet.com, founder and president Scott Gittrich related how as a former Domino&#39;s employee, he saw how much better of a pizza experience he could offer, calling out&nbsp;the&nbsp;cheap cheese used by his former employer and other chains like Papa John&#39;s.

&quot;How much they&#39;re really shifting to fresh ingredients and how much they&#39;re marketing that they are, are two different things,&quot; Gittrich told&nbsp;TheStreet.com. &quot;If you look at&nbsp;the&nbsp;ingredients in their cheese, it reads more like [those on] a shampoo bottle.&quot; <a href="https://www.toppers.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=thestreet-this-ex-dominos-employee-reveals-why-he-left-to-start-a-better-pizza-chain-2703758" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers Pizza</a> grew to $61.9 million in revenue in 2016 from $34.5 million in 2012.&nbsp;The&nbsp;franchise projects it will open its milestone 100th restaurant in 2018.
