Ali topping može biti i nešto drugo što se stavlja kao gornji sloj na hranu, odnosno ukras (u receptima se kaže: i na kraju pospite ... ili odozgo ukrasite sjeckanim ...)

I just realized that the asker is Russian and perhaps would not understand the answer. So, briefly, if the topping is in more or less liquid form it is preljev, but if it is solid than it could be posip (something that you sprinkle or arrange on top of the dish).

Problem je što se to u našem jeziku može na vrlo različite načine prevesti.

topping
nadjev


Explanation:
Obično se radi o jelima koja su sačinjena od neke vrste tijesta (smjese brašna i vode plus dodaci), i neke druge namirnice koja jelu daje karakterističan okus (nadjev).

Ne bih se složila s preljevom ili glazurom, jer se u ovom slučaju radi o pizzi. Da je riječ o kolačima, onda da.

agree  Veronica Prpic Uhing: I agree, for pizza we order “nadjev od” and for calzone “nadjev za punjenje” – in that case “nadjev za punjenje” is “stuffing. Most often word topping is omitted – pizza sa sirom, paradajzom itd .
