Troup’s is serving its Alabama community one slice at a time

By: Susan Swagler

Troup’s Pizza in the Cahaba Heights neighborhood is a family business serving families while creating family, too. The husband-and-wife team of Terrill and Ashley Brazelton are known for their great food and genuine, warm hospitality, but they serve their community way more than that.

The two cemented their relationship and their shared passion for the restaurant business years ago when they had Open Door Cafe (ODC) in Crestline Park. The neighborhood gem was beloved for its eclectic, cozy atmosphere and jazz acts.

They brought that same casually fun and welcoming vibe to Cahaba Heights when they opened Troup’s in April 2020. It was hardly the best time to start a new restaurant, but in those early days, when there were few places consistently up and running, they endeared themselves to their new neighborhood with their friendly and delicious curbside to-go. “While restaurants were closing all around us, we were creating a new business and forging a path forward,” Terrill says. “We got a lot of support from the locals.”
