IS DOMINO'S SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS?

We want as many people as possible to enjoy the great taste of Domino's, which is why we're delighted to confirm all our cheese is made with vegetarian rennet and suitable for vegetarians. There's a great range of delicious veggie pizzas on our menu. Or you can even create your own legendary - or maybe that should be vegendary - pizza from scratch! If you are a vegetarian, we also recommend you inform your order-taker.

DOES DOMINO'S HAVE A PLANT-BASED RANGE?

We’re constantly innovating our menu to provide great choice and we’re proud to say we have a growing plant-based pizza range. We have five Plant-Based pizzas on the menu - our new Plant-Based American Hot, the Plant-Based Margheri-tastic, the Plant-Based Chick'n Winner, the Plant-Based Vegi Supreme, and our award-winning Plant-Based Peppy-roni pizza. These pizzas are made with our Plant-Based dough and Plant-Based cheese alternative. Customers can also enjoy our Plant-Based Nuggets and our Plant-Based Garlic and Herb dip.

Our Classic Crust, Thin & Crispy and Stuffed Crust are not Plant-Based as they include milk-derived ingredients.

All Domino’s food is freshly prepared in our kitchens which are small and extremely busy environments, and due to this we cannot accommodate dedicated preparation areas for our Vegetarian and Plant-Based products.

WHAT CONTROLS DOES DOMINO'S HAVE IN PLACE FOR MAKING GLUTEN FREE PIZZAS?

We've worked hard to develop our gluten free pizza and are pleased to offer customers a Coeliac UK accredited option, which tastes great too. Our pizza base is made in a dedicated central product facility and stored in sealed pouches before use. These pouches are only opened when a customer places an order for a Gluten Free pizza. Once in store, we've implemented a range of measures to ensure our gluten free pizza is suitable for coeliacs. Domino's team members are specially trained in handling gluten free products and ingredients, this was refreshed in line with the reintroduction of the Gluten Free pizzas in June 2021. We use freshly cleaned equipment to produce each pizza while handling fresh sauce and cheese. Gluten Free pizzas are not cut, to minimise the risk of cross contamination from the pizza cutter. Finally, we conduct a hot rack check before any Gluten Free pizza is given to our customers and the pizza box will have a sticker on it to clearly identify it as Gluten Free.

As part of our work with Coeliac UK, stores are carefully audited against third party defined criteria. Each year, some of our stores are selected for audit in which we demonstrate all measures we take to provide gluten free options. This includes demonstrating how we make our Gluten Free pizzas. All our stores display a Coeliac UK sticker in the door. Our Food Technical team maintain on-going dialogue with Coeliac UK to provide updates to our gluten free menu and store audits. 

To see which pizzas are gluten free, take a look at our printed menus, app or visit here.

WHAT IS DOMINO’S APPROACH TO THE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN ITS SUPPLY CHAIN?

At Domino’s, we believe antibiotics should not be used for disease prevention or as a growth promoter. We do not permit the use of antibiotics within our livestock supply chain for anything other than treatment purposes. This standard applies to all species of livestock and all geographical locations.

When it is necessary to treat an animal, it must be done under strict supervision with the vet deciding which type of antibiotic is appropriate. All antibiotic usage must be recorded in a veterinary health plan, and available for our technical specialists to review as part of our ad hoc supply chain audits.

WHAT IS DOMINO’S APPROACH TO ANIMAL WELFARE?

Animal welfare is important to us and to our customers. Our Animal Welfare Policy sets out the standards we expect of our meat suppliers and the processes we use to ensure full compliance.

We work closely with our suppliers to ensure animals exhibit normal behaviour patterns, are properly supervised during transport, and are handled by trained workers. All animals are stunned prior to slaughter.

We demand suppliers comply with all EU, local and UK animal welfare legislation, but we also expect them to commit to further improvements. Each supplier is audited to ensure compliance with our minimum standards, and we agree specific targets and timelines for enhancements.

We continue to take steps to improve standards and are committed to providing transparent information, so our stakeholders are aware of the measures we are taking in this important area.

HOW CAN I MAKE DOMINO'S BETTER FOR ME?

Domino's pizza can be enjoyed as part of a varied balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Customers are given the choice to customise the toppings, crust, type of cheese and most importantly, the number of slices they want to eat. We offer Delight Cheese, which contains a third less fat than standard mozzarella, and work hard to provide up-to-date nutritional information, giving customers the confidence to make informed choices. We recommend a personal pizza serves one person, a small sized pizza serves 1-2 people, a medium pizza serves 2-3 people, and a large pizza serves 3-4 people.

In January 2019, we introduced Delight pizzas to our menu. Our Delight range was developed to contain less than 650kcal per small pizza while keeping the classic taste of Domino's. Both Delight Chicken and Delight Vegi options use Domino's signature fresh dough hand-stretched a little thinner, a lighter portion of Domino's signature tomato pizza sauce and a handful of reduced fat mozzarella.

CAN I REHEAT MY LEFTOVER DOMINO'S PIZZA?
