Quick answer
Allergen matrix built for pizzerias: Pizzerias balance dough yield, topping portions, oven capacity, slices, delivery packaging, and frequent price changes on cheese and flour.
What this template helps you do
This allergen matrix helps pizzerias keep recipe review, cross-contact notes, and guest-facing tags aligned. Pizzerias balance dough yield, topping portions, oven capacity, slices, delivery packaging, and frequent price changes on cheese and flour.
Best use case
Use it whenever recipes, suppliers, prep methods, or specials change. Use the QR menu to feature high-margin pies, mark sold-out slices, explain half-and-half rules, and update specials without reprinting table menus.

Pizzerias allergen review checklist
How to build the matrix
List active menu items
Include core items, specials, modifiers, and limited-time offers.
Review components
Check base ingredients, sauces, toppings, prep surfaces, and shared tools.
Validate with staff
Confirm real prep behavior with the team that makes and serves the item.
Publish reviewed tags
Update the QR menu only after the allergen notes have been checked.
Use careful guest-facing language
For pizzerias, clear allergen notes are useful only when they match real prep behavior. Shared equipment should be communicated carefully.
How this connects to your QR menu
Use the QR menu to feature high-margin pies, mark sold-out slices, explain half-and-half rules, and update specials without reprinting table menus. FlipMenu can display reviewed tags and descriptions, but the restaurant remains responsible for ingredient review and staff training.
Use the worksheet first, then publish the guest-facing result only after the manager review is complete. That keeps the digital menu useful without turning it into an unapproved operations notebook.
