**Status: Halal items named, no certification published**

Pizza Pizza names three halal ingredients on its own website — Halal Grilled Chicken, Halal Pepperoni and Halal Beef Crumble — and its FAQ confirms it runs two pepperoni lines, one of which is halal. It claims no halal certification anywhere and names no certifier, and the same ingredient pages list pork products including bacon and Italian ham. So halal ingredients are used; certification is not published.

_Halal practice can differ between restaurants of the same chain, and suppliers change. Always confirm with the specific restaurant before you order._

## How we checked

We read Pizza Pizza's menu FAQ, product and ingredient listings, allergy information, nutrition pages, school lunch programme page and corporate catering page. We checked the registers of the Halal Monitoring Authority (HMA) Canada. Pizza 73, which shares a parent company, was deliberately excluded.

Pizza Pizza dates the ingredient information itself to 1 November 2023, which is more than two years old, and warns that items may change without notice. Supply contracts change, so this needs confirming before you rely on it. The ISNA Canada certifier register would not open for us. We have asked Pizza Pizza whether the three named halal products are certified and by whom.

A written enquiry to Pizza Pizza is drafted and pending. Their answer will replace the section above.

## Common questions

**Is Pizza Pizza halal?**

Pizza Pizza uses halal ingredients and says so on its own site, it names Halal Grilled Chicken, Halal Pepperoni and Halal Beef Crumble, and its FAQ confirms a halal pepperoni line. It does not claim halal certification and names no certifier.

**Does that make the whole restaurant halal?**

No, and Pizza Pizza does not say it does. The same ingredient list includes pork products such as bacon and Italian ham, prepared in the same kitchens.

**Who certifies the halal pepperoni?**

Pizza Pizza does not say. We have asked.

**How current is this?**

Pizza Pizza dates its ingredient information to 1 November 2023. We re-checked the page on 4 August 2026 and the halal products were still listed, but the underlying data is over two years old.

## How we decide what to publish

We publish what a chain says about itself, what a named halal certifier says about it, or what a specific restaurant says — and we say which. We do not publish community consensus, other directories' listings, or our own impressions. Where a chain says its food is not halal certified, that is what we print: certification is a paid third-party audit, and its absence is not a statement about slaughter method. Halal Food Pass reports halal information; it does not certify halal.
