I am suddenly craving a pizza from Detroit


I think the nearest Little Caesars to me is in St Cloud, about a 2 hour drive away. I think the company must hire people like Hiro Protagonist from Snow Crash to make their pizzas.

Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as | grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how | cut him off in traffic earlier. Before | can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he’s been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. | said “are you ok man” and he looked me dead in the eye and said “B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready.”
Five stars. Will absolutely return.

    On the other hand….. My brother ordered a pizza from our local Little Caesars. And used Door Dash for delivery The next day, somebody in San Fransisco used his card number to pay $110 for a restaurant bill, and then somebody in London tried to use his card number to pay for a meal. Had do cancel his card and get a new account.

    @2 Walter No, their slogan is “hot and ready”, at least in the ads they run here in Ottawa Ontario.

    @2 @3 it used to be “Pizza Pizza” in the 90s. They have since moved on to “Hot and Ready”.

    @OP, this tracks. :P (Still, if I am getting Little Caesers, the best form of that pizza can only be found at the LCA in Detroit.)

    My Little Caesars, on the other hand, involves no human interaction at all. You order online and pick up your pizza from a little pizza vault at the store.

    The Little Caesar’s I first encountered in college was a pretty good pizza like what you’d get in any non-chain parlor. Then a couple of years later, don’t know what happened, corporate buyout or something? it changed to the manufactured cardboard they still sell today (though it’s somehow gotten even worse over those years).

    The “Pizza! Pizza!” slogan was because when you ordered a pizza, you’d get two pizzas of whatever you ordered, while the price was still comparable to one Pizza Hut or Domino’s pizza. Don’t recall when they stopped doing that either, as there were a couple of decades or so when I never had LC’s. I think I’ve only had them 2 or 3 times in the last 10 years.

    CNN – Little Caesars founder quietly paid Rosa Parks’ rent for years

    Shortly after her famed defiance of segregation sparked the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, Parks moved to Detroit and became an important presence in the city for years afterward.

    But in 1994, Parks was robbed and assaulted in her home at the age of 81. […] [Founder Mike Ilitch] read the story in the newspaper and called […] offering to pay for Parks’ housing [at a safer apartment] indefinitely. With no fanfare, Ilitch continued paying for the apartment until Parks died in 2005
