What oil does Nancy's Pizza fry in?
Nancy's Pizza cooks with Soybean oil in dough and fryer, confirmed by back-calculating the wings; dairy fat dominates the pizza PUFA. The chain names no oil of its own for the stuffed pizzas: an earlier note here said their PUFA was very low per official data, but that came from an unpopulated polyunsaturated column in the guide and was wrong..

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 Nancy's Pizza report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
