What oil does Mancino's Pizza & Grinders fry in?

Mancino's Pizza & Grinders most likely cooks with vegetable oil blend, but the chain has not confirmed it.

In detail: Not disclosed; vegetable oil assumed. Mancino's Pizza & Grinders (about 60 franchised pizza and grinder shops in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin) publishes no nutrition and does not name a frying or cooking oil on its own site, read 2026-11-11. Its pizzas and grinders are baked, not fried. It says its pizza sauce is a homestyle tomato sauce made with imported olive oil, so that sauce is scored as olive oil. The oil in the pizza dough and grinder rolls, the griddle oil for the steak and the chicken marinade are scored as an unnamed vegetable oil, our assumption, and the mayo as a soybean oil mayonnaise. Most of the fat is cheese, cured meat and mayo. Portions are not printed, so they are our assumptions, and menus vary by shop. Every value for this chain is an estimate.

Why the frying oil matters

Most fast-food chains fry in seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, or a blend of them, which are high in polyunsaturated fat (PUFA). A handful still use beef tallow or other stable fats, which are far lower in PUFA. The oil a kitchen fries in is the single biggest driver of how much seed oil ends up on your plate. See the full breakdown on the Mancino's Pizza & Grinders report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index. See which chains fry in real fats on Tallow Watch.
