The Top Hat Pizza & More is one of six vendors inside The Social at Piqua Center.
RCS Construction and Brait Capital purchased the former Miami Valley Centre Mall, located at 987 E. Ash St., in 2023. They have since turned the food court into a dining and entertainment destination.

They didn’t have much experience operating a restaurant, but Chris Kelly enjoyed cooking and Heather Kelly had previously been a server.
The St. Paris restaurant is known for its pizza, burgers and wings.
At the Piqua Center, Top Hat Pizza & More will offer a limited menu.
