Frequently Asked Questions

Domino’s Slices & Calories — All Questions Answered

  • A Domino’s large pizza is 14 inches in diameter and is cut into 8 slices by default. This is consistent across all toppings — whether you order cheese, pepperoni, or a specialty like the ExtravaganZZa. If you order Brooklyn Style on a large, it is cut into 6 larger slices instead.

  • A Domino’s medium pizza (12 inches) contains 8 slices. The slices are smaller than those of a large pizza, but the count is the same. A medium is best for 2–3 people sharing a meal.

  • A Domino’s small pizza (10 inches) is cut into 6 slices. It is ideal for 1–2 people and is the only size on which Gluten Free crust is available.

  • The calorie count depends on size and crust. A medium hand-tossed pepperoni slice has approximately 240 calories. A large hand-tossed pepperoni slice has about 300 calories. A medium thin-crust pepperoni slice drops to roughly 165 calories. A whole medium pepperoni pizza (8 slices) contains approximately 1,920 calories.

  • A medium hand-tossed cheese pizza slice has approximately 200 calories. A large hand-tossed cheese slice has around 250 calories. A medium thin-crust cheese slice contains only about 140 calories — the lowest calorie option on the standard menu.

  • Carbohydrates are primarily determined by crust type. A medium Thin Crust slice has around 11g of carbs. A medium Hand Tossed slice has about 25g of carbs. A medium Handmade Pan slice has approximately 30g of carbs. Toppings add minimal carbs (typically 0–4g per slice).

  • Two slices of a medium hand-tossed cheese pizza = approximately 400 calories. Two slices of a medium pepperoni = approximately 480 calories. Two slices of a large pepperoni = approximately 600 calories. Two thin crust cheese slices = approximately 280 calories.

  • Yes. The lowest-calorie Domino’s pizza is a medium Thin Crust with vegetable toppings (mushroom, peppers, onions). A slice of medium thin-crust Pacific Veggie contains approximately 150 calories — comparable to many “health food” snacks. Avoid Pan crust and heavy meat toppings if minimizing calories.

  • For 10 adults, order 4 large Domino’s pizzas (32 total slices). This gives each person about 3 slices, which is the standard catering estimate. If guests have large appetites or you expect significant hunger, order 5 large pizzas to be safe.

  • Domino’s Gluten Free crust uses a certified gluten-free dough. However, Domino’s officially states that their kitchens are not gluten-free environments — cross-contact is possible during preparation. It is not recommended for people with celiac disease, but may be suitable for mild gluten sensitivities. Always consult your doctor if you have a medical gluten intolerance.
