Guide to Ordering Gluten Free at Domino’s Pizza and Review (2024)

Domino’s Pizza is another well-known brand in the pizza market and one of the most popular fast-food chains worldwide that’s trying to stay relevant by offering gluten-free pizza options.

The gluten-free menu at Domino’s Pizza consists of one gluten-free crust, naturally gluten-free toppings, and a few processed foods and treats.

Like Pizza Hut, Domino’s offers a build-your-own option, as well as their specialty pizzas that can be cooked on the gluten-free crust.

So, to check out how Domino’s measures up in the gluten-free pizza category, we studied everything about their gluten-free menu and went ahead and opted for the build-your-own option to get the most thorough picture possible.

In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Domino’s gluten-free menu and give our honest review of the food and experience.

Spoiler alert: The pizza is very tasty, customer service is very weak, and gotta use their deals and coupons; otherwise not worth the money…

Domino’s Pizza Gluten Free Crust Option

Domino’s offers only one type of gluten-free crust which is a mix of multiple flours. So, despite inconsistent information roaming around about Domino’s having multiple different GF crusts, you will have to make do with this one type for now.

The crust is made in a gluten-free facility by a supplier who uses a certified gluten-free production line. It’s guaranteed to have less than 20ppm of gluten, which meets the standards for a gluten-free product, but the pizza is made in a common kitchen with other pizzas that are not gluten-free.

As for the flavor, it’s really amazing and tastes just like a crust made of wheat.

Domino’s Pizza Gluten Free Crust Ingredients, Nutrition Facts, and More

Domino’s Gluten-Free Crust Ingredients: Water, Modified Rice Starch, Rice Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Potato Starch, Olive Oil, Potato Flour, Evaporated Cane Sugar, Fresh Yeast, Honey, Avicel, Salt, Calcium Propionate.

A short word regarding the nutritional information:

Domino’s website features a calorie calculator, but the gluten-free crust’s nutritional content is not provided separately from toppings.

Other online sources were somewhat in disagreement over the calories, with some saying each slice has 160 calories and others saying it has 70.

So we used the calorie calculator on Domino’s site to come up with an estimate. With no toppings and only one scoop of Marinara sauce, the Cal-O-Meter showed the following:

Domino’s Pizza Gluten Free Pizza Toppings

Domino’s has plenty of gluten-free toppings you can choose from to top your pizza.

Naturally, some toppings, like vegetables, are gluten-free by nature. However, you will also have processed options such as cheeses, meats, and sauces.

To see all the gluten-free options Domino’s has, you can check out their allergen-info page and review a list of all the toppings there. Each topping is labeled with the allergens it contains.

For gluten, they use wheat as the marker. So, if an ingredient is labeled as containing wheat, you can safely assume it’s not gluten-free.

However, this list is not very organized and may require a lot of up and down scrolling.

So, we went ahead and organized each gluten-free topping into its own category for easy reference down below:

Is Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza Safe for Celiacs?

No. Domino’s gluten-free pizza is not safe for celiacs.

As mentioned above, their gluten-free pizzas are made on the same surfaces and in the same kitchen as their regular pizzas. So there is a high risk of cross-contamination.

We could not even confirm whether Domino’s had some sort of protocol in place to reduce chances of cross-contact, such as using separate utensils or taking some other precautions.

We asked the employees from multiple stores, but they did not confirm either.

However, in Domino’s Pizza’s defense, they have a disclaimer stating that all pizzas are made in a common kitchen and do NOT recommend their gluten-free pizza for customers with celiac disease.

Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza Review | Taste Test and Experience

After checking out all the nitty-gritty details of the gluten-free menu at Domino’s, it was time for the moment of truth: the taste test and the customer experience.

We opted for a 3-topping carryout deal and placed our order on their website for pick up.

The online ordering was hassle-free and we had our piping hot pizza order ready before we even got to the store.

Based on our order, here is each aspect of our experience with Domino’s in more detail:

The Pizza (Taste & Texture)

Absolutely no complaints here.

The pizza was delicious, with a thin crispy crust with just the right char.

The toppings (ham, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes) were all fresh and flavorful. Even the cheese was super fresh and was stringy and melty in all the right ways.

The marinara sauce was pretty sweet but not in a bad way and coated each slice evenly.

The crust’s texture was perfect – thin and crispy with just enough give. It tasted just like a regular wheat-based crust to us.

It was also easy to pick up and didn’t fall apart, which is always a plus.

Overall, our gluten-free Domino’s pizza really knocked it out of the park in terms of taste and texture, and we would definitely order again.

The Employees & Pizza Preparation

So, here is where it gets a little less romantic.

Although the staff at the store we ordered from and other stores we called in with questions were really polite, but without exception, they all came across as totally clueless about anything beyond the very basics.

They would gladly take your order, but if you had asked them a question about food allergens or preparation methods, they would look at you back with a blank stare.

This is definitely not unique to Domino’s, but it’s still something to be aware of if you’re concerned with allergens or have other dietary restrictions you need to accommodate.

Do your own research about anything that concerns you before placing your order because the average employee likely won’t be able to help you out too much.

As for the pizza’s preparation, Domino’s and similar brands have their prep counters and area somewhat away from the front counter where customers stand, so there really isn’t a way to see how they’re handling the gluten-free pizza.

But, in their defense, they make it clear that the pizza is prepared in a shared kitchen with other pizzas, so if cross-contamination is a major concern for you, Domino’s probably isn’t the best place to order from.

Price

The price structure at Domino’s can be confusing. If you order the same pizza in three different ways, you will pay three different prices.

The coupon for a 3-topping pizza has one price if you order online; for the same 3-topping pizza, you will pay more if you order it at the store, and if you build-your-own pizza with the same 3-toppings without using the coupon, you will pay even more.

So, the best way to get the most bang for your buck at Domino’s is to order online and use a coupon. Otherwise, you will be paying more for the same exact pizza.

That said, we used the 3-topping pizza coupon listed on their website and placed our order online, so here’s what our cost was for the gluten-free pizza:

FAQs

Is Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza Keto Friendly?

Based on Domino’s Cal-O-Meter, each slice of the gluten-free pizza crust has at least 15 grams of carb, which is too high for keto.

You may be able to make Domino’s gluten-free pizza “Ketoish” by loading up on low-carb toppings, but it’s not going to be a strict keto meal.

Is Domino’s Gluten Free Base Vegan?

Not quite. The base contains honey, which is an animal by-product. But then again, all of its other ingredients are non-animal based. So it’s kind of up to your version of veganism.

All in all, the pizza veterans such as Domino’s and Pizza Hut haven’t really jumped on the lifestyle diets bandwagons just yet.

So, if you’re looking for Vegan or Keto gluten-free pizza options, you’re better off checking out the newer generation of pizza places, like Blaze Pizza, Pieology, and MOD Pizza.

Does Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza Have Soy or Eggs?

No, there is no soy or eggs in Domino’s gluten-free pizza crust.

How Much is Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza?

Domino’s does not charge extra for its gluten-free pizzas. If you use their deals and/or coupons, a 2 or 3-topping gluten-free pizza can cost you about $10.

We used their website coupon for a 3-toppings carryout deal and the total came out to be $8.75.

Why is Domino’s Gluten Free Pizza so Expensive?

Domino’s gluten-free pizza is not necessarily more expensive than other gluten-free pizzas on the market, but if you don’t use deals or coupons, it can end up being pricier than most other pizza places.

With Domino’s, the rule of thumb is to always check for deals and coupons before placing an order. Otherwise, you’ll end up paying pizzeria prices for a fast-food pizza.

Final Words

Domino’s has carved out a solid place for itself in the pizza industry and has millions of fans across the globe.

The gluten-free addition to its menu is an effort to accommodate the growing number of people who’d like to enjoy their meals with as little gluten as possible.

It’s not 100% safe for celiacs, but then again, not many restaurants can make that claim.

Use their deals and coupons and try to opt for carryout deals because that’s how Domino’s quality can actually match its cost.

And don’t forget- you can always make your own Domino’s style pizza at home using copycat recipes. You might even like it better than the real thing!
