Fast Food Carb Review – Domino’s Pizza

I was really going to miss my thin crust Domino’s pizzas!  However, I have enjoyed discovering ways to make pizzas at home!  More on that later.

I wasn’t sure there was going to be anything to eat off of Domino’s menu.  Pizzas.  Out.  One slice of an Ultimate Pepperoni medium pizza is 26 Net Carbs!  Pastas.  Out.  Desserts.  Definitely out!

Then I ran across their wings, which I’d never tried before because why get wings when you can have more pizza?

Any of their Plain, BBQ, Hot and Fire Wings are between 7 and 8 Net Carbs.  Any other wings and you are racking up the carbs!  It’s not the chicken that is high, but the sauces and seasonings that they have on them.

Their Garden Salad and Chicken Caesar Salad are a bit high in carbs at 13 Net Carbs each and so you will need to weigh that choice. However, they don’t give the contents of their salads on their nutritional guide and it could be that most of the carbs are croutons.  If that’s the case there are possibly up to 10 Net Carbs that can be subtracted. Their dressings, however, are ALL very low in net carbs in the 1 to 2 Net Carb range with the exception of their Balsamic dressing which has 5 Net Carbs.

So in short… if you, family or friends are going to order a pizza… don’t feel left out.  Just order some wings (and possibly a salad)!

Just remember the rule of thumb… basically, leave off the breads, breading, potatoes, onions, high carb fruits and veggies and desserts.  Get lettuce wrapped double meat proteins (if they aren’t on a bone) or  have proteins on top of the salads.  Beware of hidden salad carbs, especially in croutons and sugars in dressings or toppings!  If you follow this rule of thumb you can find quite a lot to eat.
