Domino's Stuffed Crust Cheese Pizza — Price, Sizes & Calories (October 2026)

Stuffed crust exists to solve one specific complaint: people don't finish their crusts. Roll a rope of mozzarella into the outer edge before baking and suddenly the last two inches of every slice become the bit people look forward to. It's a simple idea that's been quietly reshaping pizza menus for thirty years.

Technically it's more demanding than it looks. The dough has to be thick enough to contain the cheese without splitting, the cheese needs to reach melting point at the same time the base finishes, and the whole edge has to hold together when picked up. When a store gets it right, you get a clean pull. When the oven runs cool, you get a doughy ring with a stripe of unmelted cheese in the middle.

What it costs you

Two things. Money — stuffed crust typically carries an upcharge of two to four dollars over a standard base, and it's rarely included in the cheapest promotional bundles. And calories: the crust ring adds roughly 60 to 90 calories per slice depending on size. That's a meaningful jump on a large pizza.

Ordering it well

Ask for it well done. This is the single most useful request for stuffed crust, because the extra minutes ensure the cheese inside actually reaches full melt rather than sitting semi-solid. A side of garlic or marinara dip is also worth the couple of dollars — the crust ring is dense and a dip makes the last third of each slice far more interesting.

One thing stuffed crust does badly is reheat. The cheese inside sets firm and never quite comes back. If you're likely to have leftovers, a standard crust is the better call.
