Domino's and its iconic pizza have been around for decades. The menu has drastically improved over the last few years, and there are so many irresistible options to choose from. However, if you're trying to eat healthy, it can be hard to order from Domino's. But it is possible to get a lighter pizza fix. That's why compiled a list of seven healthy Domino's menu items to order next time. Keep in mind that these are on the healthier side, but should still be eaten in moderation.
1. Thin Crust Veggie Pizza (with less cheese)
Serving size: 1/8 of the pizza
Calories: 135
Saturated Fat: 2g
Sugars: 2g
I always get veggies on pizza, not for the sake of being healthy, but just because they add a whole new level of flavor. The veggies on thin crust is a healthier option that will still allow you to get your pizza fix. Also, if you want to cut calories even further, ask for less cheese.
2. Thin Crust Ham and Pineapple Pizza (with less cheese)
Serving Size: 1/8 of the pizza
Calories: 145
Saturated Fat: 2g
Sugars: 3 g
In my opinion, pineapple DOES belong on pizza. If you disagree, think of things like salted caramel and apple cheddar sandwiches, which have a combination of sweet and salty. On Hawaiian pizza, the ham adds an extra salty bite that makes you scream "aloha" every time you take a bite.
3. Spicy Pineapple Jalapeño Chicken
Serving Size: 4 pieces
Calories: 170
Saturated Fat: 3 g
Protein: 33 g
A lot of the chicken at Domino's isn't the healthiest, but the Spicy Pineapple Jalapeño Chicken has relatively fewer calories and still packs a punch. Looks like pineapple belongs in chicken dishes, too.
4. Classic Garden Salad (Without Dressing)
Serving Size: single salad
Calories: 120
Saturated Fat: 4 g
Sugars: 5 g
A lot of the calories in a salad come from the dressing. You may think that a salad without dressing is just rabbit food, but if you pair it with another item on this list, it could actually be a satisfying meal. You can even just add a bit of lemon and salt for flavor.
5. Hand-Tossed Veggie and Chicken Pizza (with less cheese)
Serving size: 1/8 of the pizza
Calories: 185
Saturated Fat: 2g
Sugars: 2g
The thin crust option is always healthier at Domino's, but I included the hand-tossed veggie and chicken pizza for variety. With the thicker crust and flavor from all the toppings, you'd think you're indulging.
6. Thin Crust Chicken and Veggie Pizza (with less cheese)
Serving Size: 1/8 of the pizza
Calories: 143
Saturated Fat: 2g
Sugars: 2g
If you want to cut calories even further and add protein, get the chicken and veggie thin crust pizza. It's a meal that will keep you full until the next morning (or at least until midnight snack time).
7. Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad (without dressing)
Serving Size: single salad
Calories: 170
Saturated Fat: 3.5 g
Sugar: 3 g
Protein: 19 g
The Grilled Chicken Caesar salad is protein-packed and super low in calories (if you don't add dressing). It makes the perfect side dish. If you'd like to cut out some of the saturated fat, remove some croutons.
Enjoy a lighter take on pizza with these healthy Domino's options. Even if you're trying to eat healthy, you can still enjoy a slice or two of pizza. Just choose pizzas with less cheese and a thinner crust, and you'll have no problem.
