What oil does Pizza King fry in?
Pizza King cooks with soybean oil (confirmed as dominant Midwest pizza chain oil; Pizza King does not publish oil type explicitly, but fat profile of fries — 16g total fat, 1.5g sat fat — is consistent with soybean/canola; soybean fraction 0.55 used throughout).

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.
