Donatos Pizza: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Donatos builds every pizza to order, which makes it one of the easier pizza chains to eat vegetarian at. The toppings list and a real vegan crust option do most of the work, and the build-your-own format means you’re never stuck with a fixed vegetarian option.

What to order at Donatos Pizza

Build Your Own Pizza with vegetable toppings and no meat is the most flexible order, and most locations carry a dedicated Vegan Crust along with a Plant-Based Sausage topping. Order both together with no cheese for a fully vegan pie. The Very Vegy pizza, Margherita, and Ultimate 4 Cheese are all vegetarian as served, and the Italian Garlic Breadsticks with Marinara are worth checking for a vegetarian side, and the Serious Cheese and Ultimate 4 Cheese pizzas both work if dairy isn’t a concern.

What to watch out for

The vegan crust and Plant-Based Sausage topping depend on your local store having them in stock, so ask before you order if either one matters to your meal. Standard breadstick dough contains egg and milk, and the Cinnamon Bread, Oreo Twists, and Fudge Brownie desserts likely contain both too. The Fresh Vegy Sub comes with provolone cheese, so it’s vegetarian only, not vegan. Since availability of specific crusts and toppings can vary by location, check your local Donatos menu before you order if you’re counting on a specific item.
