What oil does Stout's Pizza Co. fry in?
Stout's Pizza Co. cooks with Olive oil in the dough. Stout's Pizza Co.'s own menu page (stoutspizzaco.com/san-antonio-menu, read 2026-09-25) says its dough is "made daily from pure olive oils", and the Billy Goat is built on a garlic olive oil base; the Pig and Pear uses truffle oil (base oil not named, scored as an unnamed vegetable oil). The menu lists no fried items and no fryer. The chain publishes no nutrition panel or ingredient statement. The PUFA here comes mostly from the pork toppings (pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, salami), the ranch drizzle and garlic sauce, and the salad dressings (Caesar, balsamic and lemon vinaigrettes, house dressing), which are scored as soybean oil because the chain names no oil for them, plus the walnuts on the Avocado salad. Mozzarella and the olive-oil crust score low. Every value for this chain is an estimate..

| Margherita Pizza (10") | 1.8g |
| Veggie Pizza (10") | 2.0g |
| Garlic Breadsticks (4) | 2.0g |

Lower PUFA is cleaner. These are estimates from published nutrition data and disclosed oils; preparation varies by location.
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 Stout's Pizza Co. report card, or where it lands on the Seed Oil Index.
