Best Low-Calorie Domino's Orders in 2026
The best low-calorie Domino's orders in 2026, from thin crust slices around 200 calories to salads and wings, with official calories and protein.
The short answer
The best low-calorie order at Domino's in 2026 is a quarter of a large Crunchy Thin Crust pizza with premium chicken, green peppers and onions: about 420 calories and 20 grams of protein, based on Domino's August 2026 nutrition guide. A large Crunchy Thin cheese slice is about 210 calories, versus 285 for Hand Tossed. The Chicken Caesar Salad is 190 calories before dressing.
Pizza night doesn't have to blow a calorie budget, but the crust and the number of slices decide most of it. Two slices of a large Hand Tossed pepperoni pizza come to about 590 calories. The same two servings on Crunchy Thin crust come to about 440, and with chicken and vegetables instead of pepperoni, about 420.
Domino's publishes a nutrition guide that lists every crust, sauce, cheese and topping per serving, so you can add up a slice before you order. Here's what to get, using Domino's own numbers.
How many calories are in a slice of Domino's pizza?#
A slice of a large (14-inch) Domino's Hand Tossed cheese pizza is about 285 calories, and a serving of a large Crunchy Thin cheese pizza is about 210. Domino's lists a serving as one eighth of a large pizza for both crusts. These totals are added up from the crust, sauce and cheese values in Domino's nutrition guide:
| Large (14") pizza, per 1/8 | Calories | Protein | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crunchy Thin, light cheese | 190 | 6 g | 355 mg |
| Crunchy Thin, veggie (green peppers, onions, mushrooms) | 190 | 7 g | 335 mg |
| Crunchy Thin, cheese | 210 | 8 g | 435 mg |
| Crunchy Thin, premium chicken, green peppers, onions | 210 | 10 g | 430 mg |
| Crunchy Thin, pepperoni | 220 | 8 g | 505 mg |
| Hand Tossed, cheese | 285 | 11 g | 595 mg |
| Hand Tossed, premium chicken, green peppers, onions | 285 | 13 g | 590 mg |
| Hand Tossed, pepperoni | 295 | 11 g | 665 mg |
Added up from Domino's August 2026 nutrition guide: crust, pizza sauce, regular cheese and toppings. Hand Tossed includes the garlic oil blend Domino's lists for that crust. Values may vary by location.
A medium (12-inch) Hand Tossed cheese slice is about 200 calories and 8 grams of protein, so a medium slice is a smaller step down if you prefer Hand Tossed.
Which Domino's crust is lowest in calories?#
Crunchy Thin is the lowest calorie crust at Domino's. On a large pizza, the Crunchy Thin crust is 100 calories per eighth of the pizza, compared with 160 for Hand Tossed plus 15 for its garlic oil blend. That saves about 75 calories a serving before any toppings.
The trade-off is protein: the thin crust has 2 grams per serving, the Hand Tossed crust 5. Adding premium chicken (25 calories, 4 grams of protein per serving on a large) makes up the difference for very few calories.
What is the best low-calorie meal at Domino's?#
The best low-calorie meal at Domino's is two servings of a large Crunchy Thin pizza with chicken and vegetables, or a Chicken Caesar Salad with a light dressing. These orders are added up from Domino's published values:
| Order | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|
| 2 servings large Crunchy Thin, chicken, green peppers, onions | 420 | 20 g |
| 2 servings large Crunchy Thin, veggie | 380 | 14 g |
| Chicken Caesar Salad + Ken's Lite Balsamic dressing | 290 | 19 g |
| 1 serving large Crunchy Thin chicken pizza + Chicken Caesar Salad + Ken's Lite Balsamic | 500 | 29 g |
| 4 Plain Wings + Classic Garden Salad (no dressing) | 320 | 17 g |
| 1/2 Philly Cheese Steak sandwich + Classic Garden Salad (no dressing) | 440 | 21 g |
Two servings of the chicken and vegetable thin crust are the best balance: 20 grams of protein for about 420 calories. Protein helps when you're eating less: higher-protein diets help preserve lean muscle and improve fullness during weight loss, according to a review in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Which Domino's specialty pizza has the fewest calories?#
The Pacific Veggie and the Philly Cheese Steak have the fewest calories of Domino's specialty pizzas, at 310 calories per slice of a large Hand Tossed pizza. The Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch has the most, at 410. From the specialty pizza table in Domino's guide (large, 1/8 of the pizza, Hand Tossed):
- Pacific Veggie: 310 calories, 12 grams of protein.
- Philly Cheese Steak: 310 calories, 13 grams.
- Spinach & Feta: 320 calories, 13 grams.
- Honolulu Hawaiian: 330 calories, 14 grams.
- Memphis BBQ Chicken: 350 calories, 15 grams.
- ExtravaganZZa: 380 calories, 16 grams.
- Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch: 410 calories, 16 grams.
Every specialty pizza here is heavier than a build-your-own Crunchy Thin pizza with vegetables or chicken (190 to 210 calories), partly because Domino's lists the specialty values for Hand Tossed crust.
Are Domino's wings and salads good for weight loss?#
The Chicken Caesar Salad is one of the best low-calorie picks at Domino's, with 190 calories and 19 grams of protein. Domino's lists the dressing separately, and it can double the calories: Ken's Caesar is 210 calories a packet, while Ken's Lite Balsamic with Olive Oil is 100.
Wings depend on the sauce. Four Plain Wings are 250 calories with 14 grams of protein, and four Hot Buffalo Wings are 260 calories with 15 grams, but the Hot Buffalo Wings have 1,520 mg of sodium. Four Garlic Parmesan Wings are 390 calories. The FDA recommends staying under 2,300 mg of sodium a day.
What should you skip at Domino's when you're trying to lose weight?#
Skip the pasta dishes, extra dipping cups and desserts, which add a lot of calories with little protein for the calories:
- 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese: 830 calories, 30 grams of protein and 1,680 mg of sodium per dish.
- Chicken Alfredo pasta: 590 calories, 24 grams of protein per dish.
- Garlic dipping cup: 250 calories, 0 grams of protein. Ranch is 160 calories and marinara is 30.
- Chocolate Lava Cake: 360 calories, 4 grams of protein.
- Stuffed Cheesy Bread: 160 calories a piece, and it's easy to eat several.
If you want a dip, Hot Buffalo (15 calories) and marinara (30) are the lightest. For more ways to keep takeout in budget, see our best low-calorie fast food meals and our guide to eating out on a calorie deficit.
How do you order pizza at a local pizzeria on a diet?#
Use the same rules as at Domino's: thin crust, regular or light cheese, lean protein like chicken, and vegetables instead of extra meat. Local pizzerias rarely post nutrition, so portion size is harder to judge. Our guide to healthy Italian restaurant orders covers pasta, sauces and the bread basket at sit-down places.
