Domino’s Pizza may be preparing to shake up its menu as consumer demand for protein-focused foods continues to rise across the restaurant industry.

Analysts reviewing the company’s recent comments said the brand could explore higher-protein options, including a possible protein-boosted pizza.

The potential menu addition was discussed after Domino’s chief financial officer, Sandeep Reddy, spoke with analysts from Bernstein, a New York-based investment research firm, according to Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi.

Reddy did not disclose any specific new products, but the analysts issued a note outlining several possibilities based on the discussion.

“Once again, for competitive reasons, management did not share the type of innovation, but we appreciated that ideas like a protein-boosted pizza, revamped chicken platform and variations of existing formats (e.g., a deep dish or new stuffing for the crust) could be operationally deployed and are likely in the long-term pipeline of ideas that management could eventually tap in,” the note said, according to Sozzi.

Fox News Digital contacted Domino’s for comment on the report but did not receive confirmation of any new menu changes.

The analysts’ note suggested future Domino’s innovations could center on protein-rich recipes, new crust types, or expanded chicken offerings.

Maeve Webster, president of Vermont-based consultancy Menu Matters, told Fox News Digital that the trend toward protein is clear across the food industry. “There’s no doubt protein is on the rise,” she said.

From a consumer perspective, Webster explained that protein “is intuitive and requires little advanced understanding.” She added that most customers view added protein as a sign of a healthier product.

“Protein is good,” Webster said. “Most people like eating it in some form, and adding it to anything will make it healthier.”

She acknowledged that this belief can be an oversimplification but said it reflects how many consumers think about nutrition when they order.

Webster also pointed to the growing popularity of GLP-1 medications as a factor driving greater interest in higher-protein diets. She said protein remains one of the most influential nutrients shaping consumer food decisions today.

“Adding protein to popular and indulgent items can reduce any guilt associated with its consumption,” she noted.

She went on to say that while fiber has recently started to challenge protein as a trending nutrient, protein “tends to be sexier, tastier — just another reason to add another slice of bacon to that burger — and more youthful.”

The potential for a protein-boosted pizza at Domino’s aligns with a larger pattern in the beverage and restaurant industries. Earlier this year, the chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola said the company was exploring adding protein or fiber to certain soft drinks.

Starbucks introduced its Protein Lattes and Protein Cold Foam beverages last fall, each containing between 15 and 36 grams of protein.

While Domino’s has not confirmed any plans to release a high-protein pizza, analysts and industry experts say the idea would fit neatly into the ongoing wave of protein-centric innovation across major food brands.
