Is Domino's Ultimate Pepperoni Pizza High in Histamine?

Domino's Ultimate Pepperoni Pizza

High histamine

This pepperoni pizza is high in histamine from the cured pepperoni, sauce, and cheese.

Fast food is cooked in batches and held warm rather than made when you order it, so it is rarely as fresh as something cooked at home. That matters here because histamine builds up as protein foods sit, which means the same item can affect you differently depending on how long it waited.

This is a hand-tossed crust with pizza sauce, provolone and pizza cheese, and a heavy layer of pepperoni.

Cured pepperoni and sauce are the drivers — pepperoni is a cured meat that carries a lot of histamine, and the tomato-based sauce is a liberator that runs high too.
Cheese and crust add to it — the provolone and pizza cheese sit high and the crust is moderate, so several parts each keep this high.

Dropping the pepperoni and sauce is the only way to meaningfully lower this one.
