Are there any vegan options at Domino's Pizza? You might be happy to know that if you are at the popular pizza restaurant chain, there is some vegan food for you to eat.

- Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich - order without the Feta, Provolone, or American cheeses. This sandwich comes with onions, diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, hot banana peppers and butter flavored oil. Feel free to order one of the vegan dipping sauces to go with it.
Pasta
The good news is that the penne pasta is vegan. The bad news is that the hearty marinara sauce contains dairy. You could order the pasta with pizza sauce instead.
- Penne Pasta

What to Order
I wouldn't search out a Domino's Pizza to eat at. But if I found myself at one I would order the Build Your Own Pizza with a salad on the side. As the majority of the pizza crusts contain dairy, I would order the following:
- Crunchy Thin Crust with pizza sauce and all the fresh vegetable toppings you like including fresh baby spinach, banana peppers, mushrooms, onions and roasted red peppers
- Classic Garden Salad with no cheese or croutons with Marzetti Balsamic Vinaigrette
Domino's in Australia
I never understand why restaurant chains have vegan options in other countries around the world but not in the United States. For example, in Australia there are a bunch of vegan items including:
- Vegan Margherita Pizza
- Vegan Spicy Veg Supreme Pizza
- Vegan Cheesy Garlic Bread
- Impossible Burger Patties
Domino's needs to step up and give vegans in the US more options like they have in other countries.
FAQ
Does Domino's have a vegan cheese option?
Unfortunately, Domino's does not have any dairy-free cheese at this time.
Does Domino's have any plant-based meats?
No, Domino's does not have any vegan meats. Hopefully in the future there will be some vegan pepperoni or sausage.
Is Domino's gluten free crust vegan?
No. While their gluten free crust does not contain any dairy, it does contain honey. Most vegans consider honey to be a non-vegan ingredient.
Are Domino's breadsticks vegan?
No, their breadsticks are not vegan. They contain dairy.
Does Domino's have a vegan bbq sauce?
Unfortunately, they changed their barbecue sauce to Honey BBQ so it is no longer vegan-friendly.
Summary
There are a few plant-based options on Domino's menu but definitely not a lot of great choices. As they currently do not have any dairy-free cheese, your best bet for pizza is ordering a Build Your Own vegan pizza with pizza sauce and vegetable toppings.
You could also get the penne pasta but the only vegan sauce is their pizza sauce. Major pizza chains around the country are starting to include more vegan options and hopefully Domino's will as well.
