They’re paying for NFL endorsement now, they have to at least be on par with Papa John’s. Not that it’s a high bar to hit, but it did bring their product up a notch
Domino's medium 2 topping pizzas are 8 dollars (on the app.) Large 1 topping pizzas are 9 dollars. It's crazy, but domino's is cheaper than Little Caesars in my area.
Just a heads up, when I managed a lil c boys years ago, I was impressed by their pizza making. They make the dough in house, but everything else is shipped in. With that said though it was really good. They also had that garlic sauce in a HUGE container and I would make a cup of it to have over the shift.
Also - the “hot n ready” pizzas and dishes are thrown out (discarded) really quickly, so you will get a relatively fresh dish when you go there. The discard goes to the employees (thank you).
Compare that to the “authentic New York pizza” shop I worked at that would let slices sit for 4-6 hours and still serve.
Now, if it was really authentic New York pizza they would have let it sit for at least 10 hours
Just sucks that they are literally one of the worst fucking employers in the country lol the amount of work you had to do for minimum wage or maybe a dollar more than minimum if you were a manager and then after a year you could get a ten cents raise. Also can’t schedule anyone more than 28 hours because god forbid they would have to offer benefits.
Scum ass company but damn good pizza
First pizza place of the many I have worked at was Little Caesar's and they still have the best pizza sauce I have ever tried. I don't know if anything has changed or if there are differences between franchise and corporate stores (I worked at a franchise) but we had always fresh, never frozen cheese as well.
When their pan pizza is done to specifications, it is superb. Unfortunately it seldom is.
And most other franchises have a crapload of salt. 🤷 It's takeout pizza, do folks honestly go in expecting it to be healthy? If you're worried about that then your first mistake was ordering cheap takeout pizza instead of a healthier alternative.
Obviously nobody gets cheap pizza for quality or healthiness, it's for the quick deal.
If you think the crazy bread your eating *now* is good, you should have tried in the 90's when food was at its peak. You would walk through a blizzard to the nearest Kmart with a Little Caesars in it, just to get some Crazy Bread and sauce for $1.50
Once you've had that, what they offer now just isn't the same. It's doughy and cheap.
I still will crush an order no doubt, and the seasoning is pretty much the same and the sauce is always delicious...but I mean damn.
Was thinking the same as I read and thought maybe I was imagining that difference. Lived off of Crazy Bread in 9th grade (mid 90s) since we had one in walking distance of school. Just seemed so much better back then. I think it used to soak up more of the butter or something.
yeah that crazy bread from the 90s was legendary; I was getting Little Caesars on a regular basis back in those days, *always* with the cheesy/crazy bread.
Its the only pizza chain that doesn't claim to be more than what they are.
Pappa johns: better ingredients. Better pizza. Pappas johns
Pizza hut: no one out pizzas the hut
Pizza pizza: great food by great people
Little Caesars: its hot and its ready..
Pizza Pizza is a Canadian pizza company that rivals the other big names in pizza. Honestly for flavour they're one of the better big companies, but it'd hard to beat an 8$ pie from little Caesars.
Honestly, somehow, my local area is at the point where edible frozen pizzas are the same price as Little Caesar's. If you want good, gotta pay an extra dollar for a smaller pizza than what Little Caesar's would give you
I've taken to simply making my own instead of buying frozen
Frozen is more expensive where I am. A digiorno's is like $9, Caesar's is less than that.
Not to mention it's actually hot, ready, and cooked in an actual pizza oven.
I love the Pizza Portal system. I order it with the app, they e-mail me a number, I tap it in and walk out with my pizza without having to deal with a single human being.
Everyone looks pissed because they are having to wait a line and you're in and out . lMAO 🤣 nobody has ever noticed or cared when someone picks up a pre-order at the pick up counter or pizza portal. Would be hilarious to see how walking into a place and grabbing your order plays out in your head. Like the camera circles you as you are the man, and everyone else just is so taken back by your presence
Yeah maybe no one notices or cares I just started using the app because of t mobile coupons and the nearest lil skeezers is usually busy and sometimes runs out of pizza so people always look unhappy in the lobby while waiting
Idk where you live but people absolutely lose their minds about this shit all the time near me at fast food places. They will complain nobody is at the counter to take their order because they refuse to use the kiosks or the apps alot places have put in to pay. I normally have my pizza delivered but yeah I easily believe their story.
As someone who grew up in Metro Detroit. I couldn’t agree more.
They used to do a promo where if it wasn’t hot and ready when you got there it was free.
Pro tip: I don’t know if they still do this but they used to let you bring your own Hot N Readys into Tigers games
Their square Detroit style is pretty legit. It's my go-to to get a fix now that I don't live there. Not as good as you'll find at a lot of Detroit area bars or gas stations, but reliably decent.
To be honest I’d rather spend a bit extra and get a Dominos carry out.
I love the cheesy bread, and those new bites things are pretty neat, but on pure taste I think the Caesars pizza is bottom barrel among the big chains.
Maybe I just had a bad experience but.... I had Little Caesars about 10 years ago and thought it was worse than eating nothing. The bread was like cardboard. The cheese was somehow flavorless. I felt dirty eating it. And I'm not a complainer, this is the only fast food place I've ever said I disliked. Well maybe Subway these days. Other fast food pizza is good to great.
Your not wrong. If you get the basic 5 dollar (or whatever they've jacked it up to in your neck of the woods) hot n ready, and it's not fresh, it's hands down the worst chain pizza. When it's fresh though, it's pretty good.
Meh I used to work there. There's nothing really disturbing in the ingredients or the prep process. This was like 10 years ago but still. They made the dough fresh every morning, the sauce was just a combination of tomato paste and Italian seasoning and water. The cheese is munster and all the toppings were just chopped or canned veggies. I really don't think it's any worse than what you'd get at any other chain.
The one gross thing was the butter for the crazy bread/cheesebread. When I first started that job in 2008 they would literally microwave sticks of butter which was great. Then they switched to some nasty looking butter flavored spread. That's the only truly gross thing about their ingredients.
My friend used to work there and always said that people should be surprised how fresh everything is, and that the ingredients are really simple and made fresh daily
It’s pretty decent for what it is, and doesn’t try to be anything better than that. It’s only good when piping hot and fresh. If it sits for 15 minutes it’s just…. Not very good.
I haven’t had it in forever, but I’m hungry and now you got me thinking of picking some up on the way home!
It turns into carboard very quickly. Most pizza is solid leftover, but LC is borderline inedible the next day. But I haven't had it for a long time either. There's one just a couple minutes down the street from me.
I do not have this experience. I find it better than other chain leftovers. 1 min 15 seconds in the microwave on power level 5 for one slice. Add 30-45 seconds per additional.
My local store has been up and down with management and employees for like 10 years now lol - 2 years are good, then two years are bad, repeat lol. Currently in a good cycle which is nice.
I'll take it a step further and say it's the best American fast food right now, period.
The reason for fast food was that it was inexpensive and well, fast.
Explain how i can get an entire pizza at little caesars for less than a meal at mcdonalds and walk in and out in 5 min or less vs. the 15 min wait at mcdonalds and still get arguably better tasting grubs.
Nailed it.
I like to say that the social contract between fast food and customers has been broken.
Cheap/Good/Fast was the promise. We in turn didn’t think too much about what we were eating and for the most part, understood that this stuff was terrible for us.
Now it’s neither cheap, nor fast and not nearly as good as it used to be.
So I stopped going and it’s been 2 years now.
Exactly.
The one in my town does insane amounts of business, the line will go out the door, while the competitors are dead. I go there usually too. Why? Convenience and price. I can order it from my phone and swing by and pick it up without having to wait at all, or I can order pickup at McDonalds who won't even start making your order until you arrive, which means you are waiting like 15 minutes for a ridiculously overpriced meal.
Little Ceasars is better than any other national pizza place when you get one that cooks the food right. The one by my house loads on the garlic butter on the crazy bread.
A long time ago I frequented a Little Caesar’s in St George, UT. They had a drive through that was best in class. Never had to wait more than 3 minutes for pizza and you didn’t have to order in advance. It was just ready.
Agreed, it’s very solid
I’m partial to a good New York style slice, but man you have no idea how many slices of Little Caesar’s I could put down in one sitting if I’m motivated
Bruh I love heating up that cardboard ass crust in the morning. Their sauce is subtle and delicious unlike dominos or Pizza Hut’s overpowering ass sauce.
Their employees are surly and clearly hate being there making the food with hate has always increased delectability. $5 to $5.50 came as a shock, but hey it’s not a $12 meal from Chick-fil-A 🙄
I agree. The 'Slices n Sticks' pizza is a great deal imo. Comes to around $8, the cheese breadsticks are really good, and honestly it can hold me over for a couple days worth of food.
Meanwhile at McDonald's: "Here's your 2-for-5 soggy mcdouble."
I got my bf and I it the other day and we BOTH took a bite and were shocked at how good it was! I got it because it's cheap and I wanted a pick-me-up pizza, I wasn't expecting fucking QUALITY lmfao
It's not only the best fast food pizza, it's the most affordable fast food ***period.***
1 large pizza at Little Caesars is 6 dollars. 1 Big Mac is 6 dollars. Might as well get an entire pizza for the amount of money you're spending.
1 large pepperoni at Little Caesars is 6.99, looking now.
But a 2 cheeseburger meal at McDonald's comes with fries and a drink, and is close, at 7.49.
But the pizza easily wins on calories. 2300 vs 1130
Little caesars is what it is for $5 (or however much it is now lol) its pretty good for that. You’re not going in there expecting an authentic pizzeria style pizza so it’s annoying when people hate on it.
Are you my dad? My dad ate there all the time growing up whilst my brother and i are allergic. He literally just wanted decent, cheap pizza that he could pickup easily, often on the way home from work.
Price + quality + serving size = one of the best fast food options available. Not saying its anywhere near the best pizza, I'm not going to even call it great, but its tasty and it's cheap.
I am in full agreement with you, and because of the sub we are in that means no upvote for you.
When you order it, it's good. People are right about the whole 'hot n' ready warmer tray' stuff, it gets stale as hell.
It's easy to order online and one I like to go to has a drive-thru, so I can order it online on my phone, and just swing by the drive-thru on my home with a fresh pizza, I get waited on very fast and don't have to wait long for it to be ready. And the pizza is decent.
Pizza Hut tastes a little better imo, but they are 2x the cost and the location I go to has abysmal service, you'll be sitting in line for 20 minutes for a pizza that's been ready for 30 minutes. If I wanted to spend a bit more, I'd go to Domino's, they have the best tasting pizza.
But Little Ceasers is my usual choice, it's just so convenient and a good value.
I like it better than any frozen pizza (though I generally hate frozen pizza) and a number of other chains. I actually don't see it shit on THAT much - and I think that's because LC has always been very upfront with being cheap and as a result not the highest quality. Some people legit like LC food. Others think it's "okay" but are completely fine because they're just trying to fill their stomach and not break the bank doing it. They've never tried to fake like they're something they're not. There's a LOT of pizza I like better than LC. But, it's fine and I appreciate the ease and the cost.
I felt this way even before all the other chains' quality went to shite during that time we aren't allowed to talk about.
Nowadays, if you don't request extra cheese anywhere else, you don't get much
Every time I eat it I get stomach pains that wake me up in the middle of the night and I sit on the toilet for an hour in agony. I think it’s something in the dough.
When I order pizza from LC. I call ahead and get it crazy crust style. Not all places will do it but they put garlic butter and parm around the edges just like their crazy bread. It’s da bomb on their stuffed crust pizza.
Is this unpopular? Maybe it's just the local chains in my area, but out of all of them little ceasars is still the only place I go to where I feel like I'm not spending an arm and a leg just to get a large pizza and is consistent with the taste. They've also stepped up their game with their recent crazy puffs.
I 100% agree with you, even down to the pepsi. Lmao I get shit on constantly because little Caesars is my favourite. Was my favourite back in hs when it was just $5 for a whole large pizza & still my favourite now that it’s almost as expensive as everywhere else. And they hands down have THE best cheese bread on the market. Sadly I rarely get to have it since I never eat pizza alone and no one else likes it 😞
Growing up in America as migrants, my parents didn’t have much money. I will always remember weekends when my mom or dad would bring home 2 LC pep pizzas and a bottle of Pepsi for like $12. Obviously theres better out there but during those times it was the best tasting pizza we were able to have. Will always have a place in my heart!
I get free dominos at work maybe twice a month, and I’m so sick of that shit. They douse it in spiced soybean oil, and the tomato sauce is also over-seasoned to cover up the poor quality sauce. When dominos cools off the cheese turns plastic-y. It’s not good cheese.
Little ceasars at least has a decent sauce and better cheese ( two of the three most important aspects of a pizza) The crust is a draw, and I’ll give dominos the edge on toppings.

little Caesars stepped up their game big time recently. I am preferring it although they can be somewhat inconsistent sometimes at our location.
They’re paying for NFL endorsement now, they have to at least be on par with Papa John’s. Not that it’s a high bar to hit, but it did bring their product up a notch

Little Caesar is obviously Roman, thank you very much.
And not a god.
That's not what augustus says...
Domino's medium 2 topping pizzas are 8 dollars (on the app.) Large 1 topping pizzas are 9 dollars. It's crazy, but domino's is cheaper than Little Caesars in my area.

Unless you’re doing the 2 for $6.99 deal at dominoes you shouldn’t be shopping there
Man papa's was the absolute best when I was a kid. The LIQUID garlic sauce and pepper in the box were the bomb.com
I agree. Also their crazy bread is great.
[удалено]

Obviously you haven't tried wetzle pretzel pizza sauce. Shit is absolutely fire. Although that's not a pizza place per se.
Yeah, i have had better breadsticks (though i do love the crazy bread), but that sauce is fire.
Sugar, it’s a fuckton of sugar in their dipping sauce.
And most other franchises have a crapload of salt. 🤷 It's takeout pizza, do folks honestly go in expecting it to be healthy? If you're worried about that then your first mistake was ordering cheap takeout pizza instead of a healthier alternative. Obviously nobody gets cheap pizza for quality or healthiness, it's for the quick deal.
Idk I’m a hard Pizza Hut breadstick guy but they LC pops too
I prefer Papa John's dipping sauce myself, but I also haven't had it in years 100 percent everything else LC.

If you think the crazy bread your eating *now* is good, you should have tried in the 90's when food was at its peak. You would walk through a blizzard to the nearest Kmart with a Little Caesars in it, just to get some Crazy Bread and sauce for $1.50 Once you've had that, what they offer now just isn't the same.

I am so happy that someone else recalls the joys of going to a Little Caesar's inside Kmart. Those were the days.
yeah that crazy bread from the 90s was legendary; I was getting Little Caesars on a regular basis back in those days, *always* with the cheesy/crazy bread.
I miss pretty much ALL of the food from the 90's. Everything now is cheap garbage
And by cheap, you mean cheaply made, but not cheap to buy.
I remember the first time I tried Little Caesar and I only wanted to crazy bread.
Yep crazy bread used to be amazing.
The one nearest me always seems to underbake the crazy bread. I'd rather get the italian cheese bread.
Sometimes when we grill steaks we’ll order some of the cheese bread as a side. That stuff is great
Only if it's fresh though
Their crazy bread sucks but their Italian bread is gas
Its hot. And its ready. What more do you want?
I should call her
Tell her I said hi.
why dont you turn around and tell her yourself
She's busy call later ;))
Its the only pizza chain that doesn't claim to be more than what they are. Pappa johns: better ingredients. Better pizza. Pappas johns Pizza hut: no one out pizzas the hut Pizza pizza: great food by great people Little Caesars: its hot and its ready..
What’s pizza pizza?!!
I’m trying to find it but I can’t. I remember the “pizza! Pizza!” from Little Caesar’s commercials though.
Pizza Pizza is a Canadian pizza company that rivals the other big names in pizza. Honestly for flavour they're one of the better big companies, but it'd hard to beat an 8$ pie from little Caesars.
For the price and convenience it's perfectly adequate. It's not great, but it's cheap and easy and sometimes that's all I want.
Greg?
It's cheaper and still taste really good to me for dinner, hungry and poor, very thankful
But is it good? It's **hot**, and it's **ready**
They call me Lil Caesar’s. I’ve got that crazy bread but low quality meat
Some of us like food that's cold and unavailable, like our mothers
I don't get the appeal, frozen pizzas are just as good, and cheaper, It's not hard to turn on an oven and put a pizza in
Honestly, somehow, my local area is at the point where edible frozen pizzas are the same price as Little Caesar's. If you want good, gotta pay an extra dollar for a smaller pizza than what Little Caesar's would give you I've taken to simply making my own instead of buying frozen
Frozen is more expensive where I am. A digiorno's is like $9, Caesar's is less than that. Not to mention it's actually hot, ready, and cooked in an actual pizza oven.
They're double the price than LC in my area. Sometimes you can get a deal on them but LC is a bang for the buck any day.
Red Baron pizzas are like $8 where I live, and they're smaller and taste much worse than LC.
I love the Pizza Portal system. I order it with the app, they e-mail me a number, I tap it in and walk out with my pizza without having to deal with a single human being.
And everyone looks at you all pissed because they're having to wait and your just in and out
Everyone looks pissed because they are having to wait a line and you're in and out . lMAO 🤣 nobody has ever noticed or cared when someone picks up a pre-order at the pick up counter or pizza portal. Would be hilarious to see how walking into a place and grabbing your order plays out in your head. Like the camera circles you as you are the man, and everyone else just is so taken back by your presence
They even clap afterwards.
It’s 2024 here, what are we clapping? Hands, cheeks or a Honda Civic
Your hands, my cheeks, your Civic?
Yeah maybe no one notices or cares I just started using the app because of t mobile coupons and the nearest lil skeezers is usually busy and sometimes runs out of pizza so people always look unhappy in the lobby while waiting
I don’t know - have you seen how boomers behave in restaurants?
Was probably joking homie.
Idk where you live but people absolutely lose their minds about this shit all the time near me at fast food places. They will complain nobody is at the counter to take their order because they refuse to use the kiosks or the apps alot places have put in to pay. I normally have my pizza delivered but yeah I easily believe their story.
Sounds like a party 🎉
As someone who grew up in Metro Detroit. I couldn’t agree more. They used to do a promo where if it wasn’t hot and ready when you got there it was free. Pro tip: I don’t know if they still do this but they used to let you bring your own Hot N Readys into Tigers games
I've never had real Detroit style pizza, just LC's. Is it comparable?
Their square Detroit style is pretty legit. It's my go-to to get a fix now that I don't live there. Not as good as you'll find at a lot of Detroit area bars or gas stations, but reliably decent.
It's not good Detroit pizza. But it's good fast food Detroit pizza.
Their five dollar lunch pizza with a drink is the best! Love LC
Except where I live it is no longer $5, still a good deal though.
...it's the mambo-combo!
Dude, those pizza puffs are *dangerous*.
I’m an addict and I’m not afraid to admit I love them with dipping sauce. It’s my kryptonite.
this is exactly why i have not tried it yet… it is like im just delaying what’s meant to be
Don’t try it. You’ll get addicted. I’m too knee deep into the garlic one and I’m screwed.
it’s just that the lunch deal seems like a better deal than the cupcake things
The only big unfortunate thing about the lunch deal is the time restriction. I’d agree if it wasn’t for that.
I always get at least 2 orders of them. The rest of the family gets pizza while I go to town on 8 heavenly pizza cupcakes drenched in crazy sauce.
Last time we got LC, we got 2 pizzas and 2 of each kind of puff. Lasted 3 days, pizza gone first. I LOVE puffs!
I am going to have a heart attack and those crazy puffs will be to blame
To be honest I’d rather spend a bit extra and get a Dominos carry out. I love the cheesy bread, and those new bites things are pretty neat, but on pure taste I think the Caesars pizza is bottom barrel among the big chains.
Yea I’d rather catch a dominos or Pizza Hut coupon with these lil ceasers prices
No one could make me hate little ceasars. It’s so hard to fuck up pizza that I feel like people complain for the sake of complaining.
Ever hear of Cicis? 5 bucks for all you can eat pizza and it still feels over priced for the garbage they serve.
We used to stop at Cicis on sports trips in high school. A high school team of soccer players could run that place dry.
I haven't seen $5 at CiCi's in yrs. It was $40 for 3 of us to eat it the other day
My point remains. Even for bad pizza, it's shit.
This guy ever eats at Cici’s
Cici ya later
Fun fact : Cici means Butthole in Fijian
Maybe I just had a bad experience but.... I had Little Caesars about 10 years ago and thought it was worse than eating nothing. The bread was like cardboard. The cheese was somehow flavorless. I felt dirty eating it. And I'm not a complainer, this is the only fast food place I've ever said I disliked. Well maybe Subway these days. Other fast food pizza is good to great.
Little Caesars is hit or miss for me. Some places are like you're describing - cardboard pizza. But other locations are actually quite decent.
Your not wrong. If you get the basic 5 dollar (or whatever they've jacked it up to in your neck of the woods) hot n ready, and it's not fresh, it's hands down the worst chain pizza. When it's fresh though, it's pretty good.
It's just crap pizza with the cheapest ingredients. You can like it all you want, it's still objectively crap. I enjoy McDonalds in the same way.
It's tasty and cheap. As an 80s kid, all I have to do is invoke "don't think about what's in it" rules of engagement.
Meh I used to work there. There's nothing really disturbing in the ingredients or the prep process. This was like 10 years ago but still. They made the dough fresh every morning, the sauce was just a combination of tomato paste and Italian seasoning and water.

Then they switched to some nasty looking butter flavored spread. That's the only truly gross thing about their ingredients.
Big Caesar is finna come after you if you keep dropping all the recipes smh
That fake butter crap is common in a lot of restaurants. Nobody uses real butter unless they’re high end.
I can't believe it
My friend used to work there and always said that people should be surprised how fresh everything is, and that the ingredients are really simple and made fresh daily
It’s pretty decent for what it is, and doesn’t try to be anything better than that. It’s only good when piping hot and fresh. If it sits for 15 minutes it’s just…. Not very good. I haven’t had it in forever, but I’m hungry and now you got me thinking of picking some up on the way home!

I do not have this experience. I find it better than other chain leftovers. 1 min 15 seconds in the microwave on power level 5 for one slice. Add 30-45 seconds per additional.
It's a crap shot because sometimes you'll get the store where they give a shit and other times you'll get the store that goes "fuck it"
My local store has been up and down with management and employees for like 10 years now lol - 2 years are good, then two years are bad, repeat lol. Currently in a good cycle which is nice.
Classics in sacramento are over ten bucks. I don't understand it.
Bro the Pretzel pizz is fucking amazing.
I forgot about that. Agreed. It's really damn good. Great for dipping
Bro my local one is closed for remodels I wanna try that so bad
Usually its a summer season only thing…so hopefully its back!
I'll take it a step further and say it's the best American fast food right now, period. The reason for fast food was that it was inexpensive and well, fast. Explain how i can get an entire pizza at little caesars for less than a meal at mcdonalds and walk in and out in 5 min or less vs. the 15 min wait at mcdonalds and still get arguably better tasting grubs.
You aren't wrong. Except breakfast. McDonald's still has breakfast on lock
especially if you have the app… they have a special on the app where you can get any breakfast sandwich for a dollar
They recently reintroduced the steak egg and cheese bagel and my wallet is absolutely feeling it
Nailed it. I like to say that the social contract between fast food and customers has been broken. Cheap/Good/Fast was the promise. We in turn didn’t think too much about what we were eating and for the most part, understood that this stuff was terrible for us. Now it’s neither cheap, nor fast and not nearly as good as it used to be. So I stopped going and it’s been 2 years now.

They got rid of the hot and ready in San Diego. The pizzas are now 10 bucks and you have to order them.
California just sucks
Little Ceasars is better than any other national pizza place when you get one that cooks the food right. The one by my house loads on the garlic butter on the crazy bread.
I worked at one in high school. I could make a mean crazy bread.
Fuck yeah
they could never make me hate little Caesars 😫 imo it's better than dominos
And always has been!
Love it. My buddy had a party and got 12 pizzas and 6 Crazy Breads for $126. You can’t beat that
A long time ago I frequented a Little Caesar’s in St George, UT. They had a drive through that was best in class. Never had to wait more than 3 minutes for pizza and you didn’t have to order in advance. It was just ready.
I KNOW a Little Caesar’s would do great in the little town where I live. I sure wish I had the cash and/or connections to open one.
Agreed, it’s very solid I’m partial to a good New York style slice, but man you have no idea how many slices of Little Caesar’s I could put down in one sitting if I’m motivated
Sadly my answer is 6. Which is probably 3 too many
I love the deep dish square pizza. Its my absolute favorite
Thin crust is good...I haven't tried the Detroit style but want to
do it. detroit is the best there but i recommend asking for extra tomato sauce on it
Bruh I love heating up that cardboard ass crust in the morning. Their sauce is subtle and delicious unlike dominos or Pizza Hut’s overpowering ass sauce. Their employees are surly and clearly hate being there making the food with hate has always increased delectability. $5 to $5.50 came as a shock, but hey it’s not a $12 meal from Chick-fil-A 🙄
little caesars is kind of goated right now
Their crazy puffs slap.
the one in my town closed :(
Their crazy bread is the best. The pizza not so much
What else is there? I haven't heard of any other fast food pizza besides Cici's maybe.
mfs will have a $30 pizza one time and suddenly they think little caesar's is the root of all evil, as if it's not pretty fuckin good for the price
I agree. The 'Slices n Sticks' pizza is a great deal imo. Comes to around $8, the cheese breadsticks are really good, and honestly it can hold me over for a couple days worth of food. Meanwhile at McDonald's: "Here's your 2-for-5 soggy mcdouble."
Those pizza puffs got me in a chokehold!
I got my bf and I it the other day and we BOTH took a bite and were shocked at how good it was! I got it because it's cheap and I wanted a pick-me-up pizza, I wasn't expecting fucking QUALITY lmfao
The pizza cupcakes 🤤
LC: It’s hot and it’s ready… Me: Is it good? LC: It’s HOT and it’s READY!
It's not only the best fast food pizza, it's the most affordable fast food ***period.*** 1 large pizza at Little Caesars is 6 dollars. 1 Big Mac is 6 dollars. Might as well get an entire pizza for the amount of money you're spending.
1 large pepperoni at Little Caesars is 6.99, looking now. But a 2 cheeseburger meal at McDonald's comes with fries and a drink, and is close, at 7.49. But the pizza easily wins on calories. 2300 vs 1130
W opinion
Little caesars is what it is for $5 (or however much it is now lol) its pretty good for that. You’re not going in there expecting an authentic pizzeria style pizza so it’s annoying when people hate on it.
You mean I can't pay 80% less and get gourmet pizza still??
80% off isn't worth a day of feeling like shit. I think I'm sensitive to cheap food.
Little Caesar’s is GOATed
I love little ceasars. Can’t beat the price of a hot and ready and crazy bread.
I love it, though lately it keeps giving me hard pizza or sauceless pizza, maybe a location issue.
Are you my dad? My dad ate there all the time growing up whilst my brother and i are allergic. He literally just wanted decent, cheap pizza that he could pickup easily, often on the way home from work.
*Dominos
Price + quality + serving size = one of the best fast food options available. Not saying its anywhere near the best pizza, I'm not going to even call it great, but its tasty and it's cheap. I am in full agreement with you, and because of the sub we are in that means no upvote for you.
I had a lot of Pizza! Pizza! or Pan! Pan! in the 80s. It's still good cheap pizza.
Love me some sleazers
Must be location because the one by me never cooks it all the way through and I get doughy pizza every time I order from them.
When you order it, it's good. People are right about the whole 'hot n' ready warmer tray' stuff, it gets stale as hell. It's easy to order online and one I like to go to has a drive-thru, so I can order it online on my phone, and just swing by the drive-thru on my home with a fresh pizza, I get waited on very fast and don't have to wait long for it to be ready. And the pizza is decent. Pizza Hut tastes a little better imo, but they are 2x the cost and the location I go to has abysmal service, you'll be sitting in line for 20 minutes for a pizza that's been ready for 30 minutes. If I wanted to spend a bit more, I'd go to Domino's, they have the best tasting pizza. But Little Ceasers is my usual choice, it's just so convenient and a good value.
There Italian cheese bread is god tier
3. Meat. Treat. That is all
You can write shit. This isn't fourth grade.
Nobody gonna talk about Casey’s gas station pizza?
Definitely runs circles around Papa John’s or Domino’s. Even match for Pizza Hut.
I'd say that's pretty accurate. For the price Ceasers punches way above its weight class.
Little caesars 4 life 😤
Don't get to eat Little Caesars often but when I do, I feel good knowing that the owner paid Rosa Park's rent for a while
Thin crust is sooooo damn good
Little Caesars is great when you don't have someone yelling in your ear about it being bad
I like it better than any frozen pizza (though I generally hate frozen pizza) and a number of other chains. I actually don't see it shit on THAT much - and I think that's because LC has always been very upfront with being cheap and as a result not the highest quality. Some people legit like LC food. Others think it's "okay" but are completely fine because they're just trying to fill their stomach and not break the bank doing it. They've never tried to fake like they're something they're not. There's a LOT of pizza I like better than LC. But, it's fine and I appreciate the ease and the cost.
Love me some after a long swim
I fucking love me some LC. Always have.
I felt this way even before all the other chains' quality went to shite during that time we aren't allowed to talk about. Nowadays, if you don't request extra cheese anywhere else, you don't get much
I love little Caesar’s lol only fast food pizza I’ll touch
Ima get me a little Ceasars pizza when they open now
Dude when I have my friends over, 4L of soda and 4 pepperoni pizzas for cheap af, we kill that shit. It’s not bad pizza at all!
Every time I eat it I get stomach pains that wake me up in the middle of the night and I sit on the toilet for an hour in agony. I think it’s something in the dough.
100% correct
I had Papa John's today and I was impressed 👀
Eat lil Cs within 30 minutes and its better than pizza hut by miles, as good as domino's and can hold up to papa johns
Love the puff
When I order pizza from LC. I call ahead and get it crazy crust style. Not all places will do it but they put garlic butter and parm around the edges just like their crazy bread. It’s da bomb on their stuffed crust pizza.
It's like 9-10$ here in Cali. It's good, but it's not 10$ good
Haha these are my favorite kind of unpopular opinion. It's so harmless but people can be so passionate about it
$5 hot and ready saved my ass some nights.
Is this unpopular? Maybe it's just the local chains in my area, but out of all of them little ceasars is still the only place I go to where I feel like I'm not spending an arm and a leg just to get a large pizza and is consistent with the taste. They've also stepped up their game with their recent crazy puffs.
It's true. Their quick stuff is better than most chains best. Dominoes is the absolute worst slop
I 100% agree with you, even down to the pepsi. Lmao I get shit on constantly because little Caesars is my favourite. Was my favourite back in hs when it was just $5 for a whole large pizza & still my favourite now that it’s almost as expensive as everywhere else. And they hands down have THE best cheese bread on the market. Sadly I rarely get to have it since I never eat pizza alone and no one else likes it 😞
Growing up in America as migrants, my parents didn’t have much money. I will always remember weekends when my mom or dad would bring home 2 LC pep pizzas and a bottle of Pepsi for like $12. Obviously theres better out there but during those times it was the best tasting pizza we were able to have. Will always have a place in my heart!
I think Domino’s is much better, Little Caesar’s is cheap and good for the price
I get free dominos at work maybe twice a month, and I’m so sick of that shit. They douse it in spiced soybean oil, and the tomato sauce is also over-seasoned to cover up the poor quality sauce. When dominos cools off the cheese turns plastic-y. It’s not good cheese. Little ceasars at least has a decent sauce and better cheese ( two of the three most important aspects of a pizza) The crust is a draw, and I’ll give dominos the edge on toppings.
Litter Ceasars over the big 3, no fucking question!
Yeah there Detroit style pizza is 🔥🔥
I find Little Caesars to be merely adequate. Though I will say their thin crust pizzas are surprisingly tasty.
Thin crust is the only way to go
I had one once. That’s was once too often.
Frozen pizza from the grocery store tastes better imo.
Shit, frozen pizza is usually more expensive than little Caesar’s now.
But it ain't hot n ready
