What To Order At Domino’s For Fat Loss (Men Over 40) - 151
YouTube A whole large pepperoni pizza from Domino's runs 2,300 to 3,000 calories. Split it between two guys and you're each at 1,150 to 1,500 calories before anyone touches a wing or cheesy bread. The odds you could guess that number within 500 calories, even if you've ordered this exact pizza a hundred times, are almost zero.

This episode is the seventh stop in the Restaurant Series and ranks eight real Domino's orders from worst to best. You'll learn why the Stuffed Cheesy Bread is worse than any pizza on the menu, what makes Deep Dish triple the fat of Crunchy Thin Crust, and why the Buffalo Wings rank lower than you'd expect. By the end you'll know exactly what to order instead of running the same order on autopilot, and why the crust you pick changes this entire calculation.

Key Takeaways:
- Stuffed Cheesy Bread is the worst order on the entire Domino's menu and it isn't even pizza: one box runs 1,200 calories and 56 grams of fat before you touch a single slice.
- Crunchy Thin Crust at 140 calories per plain slice beats Deep Dish at 313 calories per slice by more than 3 to 1, because the crust is the variable that changes everything.
- The winning order is a Chicken Caesar Salad (220 calories, 19 grams of protein) plus a medium Crunchy Thin Crust through Mix and Match ($6.99)—no calorie counting, no guilt, take the rest home.

Common questions from this episode:
- How many calories are in a large pepperoni pizza at Domino's?
A large pepperoni pizza on Hand Tossed crust runs 2,480 calories for the whole pie. Deep Dish runs closer to 3,000. Split between two people and you're each looking at 1,150 to 1,500 calories before anything else shows up.
- What's the best order at Domino's if you're trying to lose weight?
Order the Chicken Caesar Salad on its own (220 calories, 19 grams of protein, $7.49). If you want more food, add a medium Crunchy Thin Crust pepperoni through the Mix and Match deal for $6.99. This gives you real protein without going overboard.
- Why does crust type matter so much?
A cheese slice on Crunchy Thin Crust is 100 calories. The same slice on Deep Dish is 313 calories. The difference is how the crust gets made: Deep Dish gets fried in a pan before it goes in the oven, which loads it with fat. That one choice decides whether this meal works or doesn't.
- What is the Mix and Match deal at Domino's?
The Mix and Match deal runs $6.99 per item when you order two or more. It covers medium pizzas with up to two toppings, Boneless Chicken (8-piece), and a few other items.
