In the UK, Domino’s isn’t halal, but most of its chicken is. Domino’s UK says, “We don’t promote our stores or meat as halal approved. However, most of our chicken (sourced from our trusted suppliers in Thailand) is certified as halal by the religious authorities.” The exceptions are chicken wings and pulled chicken. Every UK store also sells pepperoni, ham and bacon, which go through the same ovens as every other pizza.

In Muslim majority countries such as Pakistan, Malaysia and the Gulf states, Domino’s is halal. In the US and Canada, it isn’t. This guide explains each country, which UK items are halal, and what to think about with shared ovens.

Is Domino’s halal in the UK?

Here’s the detail from Domino’s UK:

  • Most chicken is halal. It comes from suppliers in Thailand and is certified halal by the Thai religious authorities.
  • Not the wings or pulled chicken. Domino’s names its chicken wings and pulled chicken toppings as the exceptions. In a reply shared in 2025, Domino’s UK said: “While we no longer have any halal stores, all our chicken, with the exception of our chicken wings, is halal slaughtered.”
  • The chicken is stunned. Domino’s told The Halal Life that its halal chicken is stunned before slaughter.
  • No halal stores. Domino’s UK doesn’t run any halal stores. Older lists online that name “100% halal” Domino’s branches in Manchester or London are out of date.

The shared oven question

Every UK Domino’s also makes pizzas with pepperoni, ham and bacon. A Bradford Domino’s manager told The Halal Life that pizzas aren’t made separately from those with ham and other meats, and that they go through the same oven.

Scholars differ on this:

  • Many Muslims eat halal chicken or vegetarian pizzas from these stores, because the food itself contains nothing haram and dry baking in the same oven doesn’t transfer pork.
  • Others avoid Domino’s because pork toppings are handled on the same counters and utensils, and grease or pieces can get onto other pizzas.

If you order, a vegetarian pizza or one with halal chicken avoids pork ingredients, but it can’t rule out contact with pork.

Final thoughts

Domino’s UK is a halal chicken supplier story, not a halal store. The chicken toppings and sides are mostly halal, the wings and pulled chicken aren’t, and pork shares the oven. Decide how you view a shared kitchen before you order. In Muslim majority countries, and in some Dutch and Belgian stores, you can order with confidence. If your local Domino’s has changed, tell us through our Contact page.
