Pizza, particularly as served by chain restaurants like Domino's, is a globally popular dish originating from Italy. Traditionally made with a bread base, tomato sauce, cheese, and various toppings, modern pizzas can include a diverse range of ingredients catering to different cuisines and preferences. Its nutritional profile varies greatly depending on size, crust type, and toppings but generally includes carbohydrates from the crust, protein from cheese and meat toppings, and fats from cheese and oils. A slice of classic cheese pizza typically provides around 200-300 calories, with moderate amounts of protein, calcium, and saturated fat.
Store leftover pizza refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in an oven or on a skillet to maintain crispness.
The nutritional content varies depending on the type of pizza, but a single slice of Domino’s Hand Tossed Cheese Pizza (large) contains approximately 270 calories and 11 grams of protein. Toppings such as meat or extra cheese will increase both calories and protein content.
Traditional Domino’s pizza crusts are not suitable for a keto diet due to their high carbohydrate content. For instance, one slice of Hand Tossed Crust contains around 33 grams of carbs. However, you can make keto-friendly modifications by ordering a crustless pizza bowl and avoiding high-carb toppings like pineapple or sweet sauces.
While Domino’s pizza can be part of an occasional meal, it is high in sodium, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates, which can contribute to health issues if consumed frequently. A large slice of Hand Tossed Cheese Pizza, for instance, has about 500 mg of sodium, which is 22% of the recommended daily limit based on a 2,300 mg guideline.
A recommended serving size typically consists of 1–2 slices from a medium or large pizza, depending on your daily caloric and nutritional goals. Pairing pizza with a side of vegetables or a salad can help balance the meal and prevent overeating.
Homemade pizza can be tailored to be healthier, using whole-grain crusts, fresh toppings, and reduced-fat cheese to lower calories and sodium. In comparison, Domino’s pizzas tend to be more calorie-dense with higher levels of sodium and saturated fat due to processed ingredients like commercial dough and pre-packaged meats.
