About Donatos Pizza

Every Piece Is Important.®

When you think about it, pizza is all about bringing people together. The real fun happens when it’s shared by many that moment when the box is opened and eager hands appear from every direction to help themselves.

What makes Donatos so deliciously different

Our Edge to Edge® promise. Your Donatos pizza is loaded Edge to Edge® with toppings, so it’s consistently delicious, bite after savory bite.

Award winning dough. We’ve used the same recipe for 50 years (it’s the best we’ve ever seen) baked to golden perfection and sprinkled with cornmeal for extra crispness.

Piles of pepperoni. Go ahead and count em. We put 100 crispy pepperoni on each and every large thin crust pizza we make.

Family-recipe sausage. We’ve used our family's sausage recipe, filled with special seasonings (and no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives) since 1963.

Premium cheese. We use only real Wisconsin Cheese naturally smoked, aged Provolone cheese, to be exact because it’s just more flavorful.

Fresh, hand-cut veggies. From our Roma tomatoes and onions to our green peppers, our veggies are always fresh and sliced by hand every day.
