In America, pizza has become the go-to food at children's birthdays, class parties and soccer celebrations. It's also on the menu at Super Bowl parties and other adult get-togethers. Although pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping according to the Agriculture Council of America, you can improve the nutritional value of your meal by adding vegetable toppings instead. As of 2010, Domino's doesn't have a pizza product called a Veggie Lovers' pizza, but the Domino's "Veggies" pizza is a no-meat option that includes a combination of vegetables on its traditional hand-tossed crust.
Ingredients
The Domino's Veggies pizza is one of the options on the company's Lighter Options menu. The pizza has cheese, fresh onions, fresh green peppers, black olives and fresh mushrooms. If you want to reduce your calories even further, ask for less cheese on your pizza. By doing so, you'll be following the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommends reducing the amount of cheese on pizza and adding vegetables instead of meat toppings.
Allergens
If you have any allergy concerns, review the allergen information and complete ingredients list on the Domino's website. The hand-tossed crust and mozzarella cheese used in the Veggies pizza both contain milk, to which some people are allergic. The hand-tossed crust also contains wheat. If you select the thin crust instead, be aware that it contains wheat and soy.
Serving Size
According to Domino's website, a serving size is one slice of a 12-inch medium or 14-inch large pizza. Each pizza comes with eight slices total. If you typically eat more than one slice at a time, calculate the calorie count and other nutritional information accordingly.
Calories
One slice of a 12-inch Veggies pizza has 200 calories, with 3 g of saturated fat and 7 g of total fat. One slice of the 14-inch pizza is 270 calories, with 4 g of saturated fat and 10 g of total fat. If you choose Domino's thin crust or deep-dish crust instead of hand-tossed, the number of calories and fat grams will vary.
Considerations
If you want to order an all-vegetable pizza from Domino's but don't like the toppings on the Veggies pizza, use the order form on the Domino's website to select different vegetable toppings. Then use the online Cal-O-Meter tool to review the nutritional information of your custom pizza before placing your order either online or over the phone.
