Our Story
About Us
A little bit about who we are and why we do this.
Machesney Park, Illinois
Your New Neighborhood Hangout
Top Dog Pizza & Pub was built on one idea: Machesney Park deserved a real neighborhood hangout. A place where the food is good, the drinks are cold, and you don't need a reservation or a reason to stop in.
We serve handcrafted pizza on pinsa crust— a Roman-style dough that's lighter, crispier, and more flavorful than traditional pizza. Pair that with our half-pound burgers, sauced wings, Italian beef, and loaded shareables, and you've got a menu that covers all the bases.
Whether you're coming in for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or settling in for the game — Top Dog is your spot. Pull up a seat. We're glad you're here.
What Drives Us
Our Values
The things that make Top Dog what it is.
Neighborhood First
We're not a chain. We're your local spot — where regulars have a seat, and first-timers feel welcome.
Pinsa Pizza
We chose pinsa crust because it's better. Lighter, crispier, more flavorful. Once you try it, you'll understand.
Pub Vibes
Cold drinks, games on the TVs, and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether it's Tuesday night or game day — this is your place.
The Top Dog Promise
Fresh food made to order, priced fairly. That's the deal — and we stick to it every single day.
