If you’re a vegan looking for delicious pizza options, you might be wondering what choices are available at Domino’s Pizza. After delving into the ingredient statements on their website, we’ve compiled a list of their vegan menu items. So, let’s dive in and discover what you can enjoy without compromising your lifestyle.
Vegan Crust Options
When it comes to crust, Domino’s offers one vegan option: the thin crust dough. Unfortunately, the other crust options contain whey or honey, making them unsuitable for vegans. So, if you prefer a thin and crispy base, you’re in luck!
Although Domino’s uses a microbial L-cysteine dough conditioner, it’s reassuring to know that no animal-derived ingredients are present in the crust. Now, let’s explore the sauces available.
The Vegan Sauce Dilemma
Finding a vegan sauce can be tricky, considering the various ingredients used in the manufacturing process. However, Domino’s pizza sauce appears to be vegan-friendly. While it contains sugar, some sugar is processed using cow bone char.
To clarify this matter, we reached out to Spencer Breidinger, the Manager of Global Product Quality and Regulatory Compliance – Supply Chain Services at Domino’s. He assured us that their sauce and seasoning suppliers do not employ bone char during the sugar processing. That’s great news!
Nevertheless, if you’re a vegan, be cautious when selecting your sauce. The Hearty Marinara Sauce contains butter and cheese, while the Alfredo sauce used in the Spinach & Feta Pizza includes beef enzymes. So, exercise your discernment when picking your ideal sauce.
The Search for Vegan Cheese
Now, let’s address the question on every vegan’s mind: does Domino’s offer a vegan cheese option? Currently, in the United States, they do not provide non-dairy cheese. But don’t lose hope just yet!
Aubrey Yuzva, the Director of Menu and Product Development at Domino’s Pizza, informed us that while non-dairy cheese hasn’t been available in the United States, other regions have experienced trials and launches in the past. Aubrey couldn’t reveal any confidential information about future plans, but it’s clear that Domino’s has considered the possibility.
In 2014, The VRG even reported on Domino’s Israel introducing soy cheese. To stay in the loop about any potential non-dairy cheese trials or launches, keep an eye on their press releases, website, social media pages, and TV advertisements.
If you’re eager to see vegan cheese at Domino’s and want to express your desire, we encourage you to contact the restaurant chain directly through their website contact form and social media platforms. Make your voice heard, specifying your city and state to help them gauge interest and potentially pave the way for trials in your area.
Remember, change happens when passionate individuals like yourself actively advocate for it.
