Vegan Menu Options at Domino’s Pizza

By Jeanne Yacoubou, MS

After careful analysis of the posted ingredient statements for all menu options on the Domino’s Pizza website, here are their vegan menu items.

Vegan crust at Domino’s Pizza

The only vegan crust at Domino’s is the thin crust dough. All the others contain whey or honey.

As The VRG recently reported, the L-cysteine dough conditioner at Domino’s is microbial.

Which sauce at Domino’s Pizza is vegan?

Domino’s pizza sauce appears vegan. It contains sugar which may have been processed through cow bone char.

The VRG asked Spencer Breidinger, Manager of Global Product Quality and Regulatory Compliance – Supply Chain Services at Domino’s about its sugar and how it had been processed before arriving at Domino’s. He replied:

“Our sauce and seasoning suppliers have confirmed that bone char is not used in the processing of the sugar they source.”

Vegan diners should note that the Hearty Marinara Sauce contains butter and cheese.

Vegetarian patrons should be aware that the Spinach & Feta Pizza is made with Alfredo sauce which contains beef enzymes.  

Is there a vegan cheese option at Domino’s Pizza?

At this time, Domino’s does not offer non-dairy cheese in the United States.

The VRG asked Aubrey Yuzva, the Director of Menu and Product Development at Domino’s Pizza, if Domino’s had ever trialed non-dairy cheese in the past or had any plans to offer it in the future. Aubrey replied in November 2021 by email:

“We have not offered non-dairy cheese in the United States before, but other regions have launched or tested those types of offerings in the past. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on future plans around non-dairy cheese alternatives for confidentiality reasons.”

Note: The VRG reported on Domino’s Israel and its soy cheese debut in 2014.

The VRG followed up by asking where interested readers should check for updates on any non-dairy cheese trials or launches at Domino’s. Aubrey responded:

“Any official announcements would largely be made via press release, our website, social media pages, and TV advertising.”

If you would like to see vegan cheese at Domino’s, The VRG encourages readers to contact the restaurant chain directly through their website contact form and on social media. Express your wish to have a vegan cheese option at Domino’s. Be sure to specify your city and state to aid them in any trials.
