What oil does Peter Piper Pizza fry in?
Peter Piper Pizza cooks with Fryer: 'Fry Oil (Canola Oil, Sunflower Oil, TBHQ, Citric Acid, Dimethylpolysiloxane)' verbatim in the chain's own portal ingredient statements (Nov 2025 edition), so wings, fries and fried sides are canola/sunflower with no soybean; dough, pizza sauce, breadsticks, mac and cheese and desserts list soybean oil; the boneless-wing breading carries soybean oil separately; the Mild Buffalo Wing Sauce lists soybean oil. The earlier 'soybean/canola blend for wings' note had no chain source..

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 Peter Piper Pizza report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
