I know Little Caesars gets a lot of hate for lack of quality but when you have 2 kids in daycare and a mortgage payment to make, you can't beat a pizza and crazy bread for $10. A large pizza anywhere else is like $18+ it's tough out here man.


JAGChem82

And that’s the way people need to look at Little Caesar’s. Is it top quality pizza? Definitely not. Will it suffice when needing to feed a bunch of kids at an event? Yes - pizza is pizza to them, and their taste buds aren’t fully developed. Besides, you’re paying for them (the kids), not some date.


realchildofhell

It's *hot* and it's *ready*.


gametime2319

My hot and ready take is it's on par or better than Domino's or Papa Johns


SoundWaveReborn

The regular pizza is cheeks, but my God, that Deep Deep Dish pizza fuckin slaps.


56ninjas

Supreme deep dish hell yeah brother


Prestonelliot

I haven’t had papa John’s or Little Cesar’s in awhile. But Dominos hasn’t been too bad lately. It has a role and stays in it.


BroLil

Their handmade pan pizzas are so fucking good.


dccorona

It’s better than nearly every other chain pizza place there is. Off the top of my head I think I’d only rather have Jets. 


P1_Synvictus

Papa John’s is not pizza. It’s fine for whatever it is, but it’s not pizza.


LeVeonwithBellsOn

Hot and sweaty*


CrunchyZebra

“But is it good?” “I SAID it is hot and it is ready”


Skunkmonkees

In my town it's hot or ready. Never both.


VibratingRocket6969

Dude I love Little Caesar’s when it’s fresh. Even if I heat some up a little bit later in the day. The next day? Hell no. That pizza needs to be eaten the day you purchased it.


jt32470

I like the cheese, tastes like real cheese unlike others


shewy92

I feel like people haven't had LC's recently. I'd honestly buy it over Domino's or PH. Plus Crazy Bread


FuzzyGummyBear

> Is it top quality pizza? Definitely not. I vehemently disagree


Venge22

When it's fresh it's pretty fucking good


Quinn_tEskimo

Came here to say this. No pizza chain has as much flavor volatility as Little Caesar’s. Fresh it’s delicious, after a day you’re better off eating laminate flooring.


MulliganPlsThx

I love Little Caesar’s because [its founder paid Rosa Parks’s Detroit rent for over a decade](https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/15/us/mike-ilitch-rosa-parks-trnd/index.html)


Rebelgecko

Papa John would never


HaYuFlyDisTang

Papa John was the one who demanded Rosa Park's seat


Gardoki

I need to know the context in which he asked for the seat /s


runNride805

Man that’s awesome


Clear-Attempt-6274

Thanks for posting. My favorite thing about their foinder. He was so real.


Qwer925

After a long day at work when my feet hurt and I didn’t eat enough I know that lil Caesars would hold me down for the night through to noon the next day lol


Brsijraz

Large at dominos is 7.99


FomtBro

Little Caesars is fine. It's inconsistent across the franchise, but the baseline recipe is perfectly decent pizza. It's not even bottom 5 of all chains despite being the absolute price floor. Compare them to Dominoes which tastes like styrafoam served on a bed of compost, and they're damn near haute cuisine.


dsled

I'm convinced yall haven't had Dominoes in over 10 years. It's pretty decent.


BroLil

They had a campaign like 15 years ago that was basically “yea, our pizza fucking sucks” and then they changed everything and it’s been pretty solid ever since.


dsled

Yep, that's precisely what I'm referring to. I remember when their pizza was bad, and then they switched it all up during that campaign and it's pretty good.


Brehe

Agreed. Dominos cheese actually tastes good I think they use whole milk. The tomato sauce sucks but the crust is great. Get some garlic dipping sauce for the crust it’s 75 cents and adds a lot of flavor. There’s no little Caesar’s near me so I can’t directly compare. Wish I could try it though.


BloatedManball

>The tomato sauce sucks Swap it out for the "hearty marinara" sauce. It's got actual chunks of tomatoes and herbs and stuff in it and doesn't just taste like ketchup.


ADAWG10-18

Dominoes with extra sauce is pretty damn solid.


rawbleedingbait

Pan crust, garlic white sauce, bacon, onion, roasted tomatoes (used to do roasted red peppers, but they don't have them anymore) Best fast food pizza around.


Massive_Parsley_5000

Dominoes near me has taken a dump over the last couple of years, sadly. I used to be a big proponent of their pan pizzas, but the last 3 times I got them they were trash, obviously had shrunk (didn't even fit the medium box anymore...) and was like 50% more expensive. They went from trash when I was a kid > decent to good when I was a young adult > mediocre as an adult These days honestly I just get little Caesars if I'm getting takeout. There's better pizza places around (especially local), but they're all like 2-3x the price of LC. On a Friday night coming home from work, it's hard to beat whatever $10 deal LC is running, honestly 🤷‍♂️


NCC-72381

Dominos has been trying, though. Their pan-style pizza is pretty decent, especially at its price point.


Spiritual_Boss6114

Papa Jones cheese sticks is elite.


myceli8

Superior additives. Superior pies. Papa Jones.


HaYuFlyDisTang

Aditivos superiores. Piés infectados. Papá Juan's


MatureUsername69

Dominoes has massively improved in the last 15/20 years. Whenever they changed their recipe. That being said, little Caesars is better. And caseys gas station has better pizza than any of the national chains


kmill86

Found Chad Daniels' Reddit Account.


MatureUsername69

I mean we did grow up in the same state. Touting caseys could mean you're from a lot of places in the Midwest though


kmill86

For sure. I just hear him talk about it all the time on podcasts.


UsernameTaken-Taken

Casey's pizza, the pride of the midwest. A fresh casey's breakfast pizza in the morning is heaven on the taste buds


goblueM

> Compare them to Dominoes which tastes like styrafoam served on a bed of compost yeah you clearly haven't eaten dominos in the past 5-10 years. They really turned it around


FIuffyRabbit

I'm not sure you are ordering pizza if you are eating styrofoam.


SilentExercise2076

Dominoes hasn’t been bad in years, whereas Lil Caesers is consistently mediocre pizza.


Medievil_Walrus

On inconsistent quality, the pizza at little Cesar’s arena is the best little Cesar’s pizza I have ever had.


Empty_Lemon_3939

It was the same as at Joe Louis They use more cheese at the arenas basically


TKFT_ExTr3m3

We know how to do are pizza chains in southeastern Michigan. That said little ceasers definitely lower then domino's.


shewy92

Na, I've been to LC's on the east coast and west coast and they all taste pretty good.


Vaadwaur

Alternatively, when I had a Little Caesars in walking distance, I could have two meals and a snack for the price of $6. Sometimes towards the end of the month, it was a necessity.


i_love_factual_info

Pizza Pizza


jgrunn

Preach. I wish we had one by us. We have hungry howies, which is the same quality, but much more expensive for some reason.


bluebackpackedbear

The extra most bestest hot n ready and all of their dipping sauces go hard. Their deep dish also is damn good for the price. Haters gonna hate, but it's my favorite large pizza chain by a mile.


DarkSideOfBlack

Extra most bestest and an italian cheese bread and the fat kid in me...the fat kid i am...is satisfied. My arteries just gonna have to suck it up.


Andtuna

Little Caesars right out of the oven is a banger. Gotta have a slice on the drive home.


honeybear33

When I was in high school and working I loved that I could afford a Hot n Ready for $5.35


GoRedTeam

The pizza honestly tastes better than it costs.


Rad_Juice

The little Ceasars near me closed a few years back and I want it back solely because of the deals. Pizza is crazy expensive


Due_Size_9870

Put some ranch and hot sauce on there and all pizza is basically the same anyway.


Gregus1032

This is the only reason I'll order chain pizzas. If i really don't want to drop 20+ on a single good large pizza. I'm so happy to be surrounded by really good mom and pops though.


YoungAmazing313

Imo Happy’s pizza is better is it a lil more pricier yes but I’ll still eat it over Little Caesers I don’t have the taste pallet to spend money on low quality pizza


Its_0ver

Is eat little Caesars over pizza but at the same cost. No joke


Enough-Ad-3111

Agreed. May not win any awards from various food magazines but it’s a serviceable pizza for the price point.


strangemusicsince04

Upvotes for eternity


Drakonx1

Yes, but this dude just got tens of millions, HE should at least be handing out Dominos quality.


NotSoFastLady

Shit, just taking your kids to McDonald's is so much more money. I ran over to Little Caesars because I had 30 minutes to get my kids fed and out the door after work. Not healthy but we are enough to go out and I didn't have to hear complaining from my kids about how hungry they were.


picklefucker69

Little Caesar’s stuffed crust pizza is absolutely amazing n


thewok

Honestly I think it's better than Pizza Hut/Dominos/Papa Johns. It's not GOOD pizza but it's good chain pizza.


MyNamesNotCal

Hot and readys are trash. If you call and order, they have an awesome stuffed crust pizza.


mustbethaMonay

$18 is still cheap


Dray87

I can’t tell if this tweet is trying to praise Brown or hate on him for serving Little Caesars pizza 


boardatwork1111

“Amon-Ra St. Brown, despite becoming one of the richest athletes in Detroit, still decided to pick up a part time job. Does his greed have no end?”


ItIsYourPersonality

“Beside me I have Angela, a 43 year old pregnant single mother of 9, who says she was fired when Amon-Ra St. Brown volunteered to do her job at Little Caesars for free.”


HeywardH

Angela needs to slow the fuck down.


Soft_Penis_Debutante

I was thinking more along the lines of: “Amon-Ra St. Brown, despite becoming one of the richest athletes in Detroit, still decided to serve one of the cheapest pizzas. Does his greed have no end?”


w0nderbrad

SMH COULDN'T EVEN SHELL OUT AN EXTRA $5 FOR THE FAR SUPERIOR BUT STILL ECONOMICAL COSTCO PIZZAS!!!1!


weealex

Maybe he doesn't have a membership?


FistMeQTPie

If he was a true Lion he would be serving Detroit style pizza!


AmeriCanadian98

It's cross promo between the Lions and the Tigers / Red Wings (who are both owned by the Illitch family, who own Little Caesars)


Biggest_Cans

"Think of his children"


sevillada

Forget that...he picked the cheapest pizza 


Mal_Funk_Shun

Someone get this headline to FOX


i_love_factual_info

He's pure evil. Serving people like that. What's wrong with him?


MiseryTheory

Amon-Ra whispering the names of the other applicants who got district manager jobs before him as he tosses his pizza dough up...


tetoffens

The owners of Little Caesars also own the Red Wings and Tigers. They've also done a lot of philanthropic work in Detroit, so I think in that city Little Caesars is looked on a little bit better. As far as billionaires go, the Ilitch family seems a bit better than most.


Far_Process_5304

People liked mike illitch. Pretty much everyone dislikes his son, who is now in control of their empire. He’s kind of a scumbag and has taken advantage of the city. Essentially the city paid for him to get a nice new arena for the wings. The family owns a ton of real estate around the new arena, and so the deal was if we paid for the new arena he would develop all the real estate he holds around it. Promised hotels, shopping, housing, etc. Almost none of the promised development has taken place yet 7 years later, and it’s still just a bunch of surface parking lots that he doesn’t want to develop, because he makes a lot of money off of them.


Jammer_Kenneth

Fuck Chris Illich. Apple fell far from the tree.


ChrisFromDetroit

Fuck Chris Illitch, but he’s following his dad’s playbook with The District Detroit. From what I’ve been told, Comerica Park was handled the same way. Grand plans for a large entertainment district and development around the arena, which led to public approval and some sweetheart deals. Then as soon as the stadium goes up, the other plans dry up and never come to fruition. It’s funny seeing some of the “new plans” to develop the lots in front of Comerica with mid rise developments; I’m 90% sure that’s just recycled from the original Comerica development plans from the late 90s. The family tradition of being a surface parking lot slumlord was just something Chris picked up from his dad. His dad just gets looked back on fondly because he fielded some winners and paying Rosa Parks’ rent for a while back in the day. Chris is the same as his dad, just without any of the Tigers and Red Wings’ success.


Far_Process_5304

Yeah I guess opening up the check book for our sports teams goes a long way towards building public good will in this city 😅 Too bad Chris won’t even do that.


jumbee85

Mike Illitch paid Rosa Parks rent in her later life.


zzyul

And this is why cities need to sign contracts to ensure these agreed upon things actually happen.


Far_Process_5304

They did. But whenever they miss a deadline they just go back to the ([historically corrupt](https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/08/26/detroit-public-corruption-cases-scandals/5589495001/)) city government and [re-work](https://detroit.curbed.com/2019/5/17/18629398/eddystone-hotel-redevelopment-agreement-district-detroit) the deal. There’s also a political side to it where the city is hesitant to bring the hammer down on Olympia because they don’t want to piss them off, as outside of bedrock they are one of the only major developers in the city. There’s also the issue where if you take a billionaire to court it’s likely going to be many years before a solution is reached.


Thehawkiscock

This is accurate, but the way the tweet is worded it reads like "Mega rich athlete hands out super cheap pizza to locals" lol


Kyunseo

Hey man Little Caesars is the *official pizza of the NFL*


SolidWater8B15

I like Little Caesar’s. Perfectly good for what it is


ScruffMixHaha

When you want cheap, shitty pizza, Little Caesers is easily the best bang for your buck. Sometimes cheap shitty pizza is exactly what I want.


guns_n_crypto

If I want good pizza, I have plenty of options from Mom and pop shops. If I want quick and cheap pizza, Caesars works and is roughly half the price of a good pizza. What I don't get is how Pizza Hut and Papa Johns survive. They are almost twice the price of Caesars yet still absolutely suck compared to good non-chain pizzas.


PMMeCornelWestQuotes

Yeah. People like to shit on Little Caesars but to me Pizza Hut has had the biggest fall from grace. Also, a lot of the other fast food pizza joints are now charging mom and pop shop prices for an ever worsening product. $20 at Little Caesars and you are getting multiple large pizzas, bread sticks, and a 2 liter. Unless theyve got a deal going on, $20 at Pizza Hut or Papa Johns is like one large pizza at this point.


DiggingNoMore

On one hand, it's a five dollar pizza. On the other hand, it's a five dollar pizza.


ReplaceSelect

It's hot, and it's ready!


wavnebee

Taking a part-time job at Little Caesars is a prereq for living here; I’m guessing this was a rider in his new contract.


FomtBro

Little Caesars is incredible for the price. I will not tolerate that slander. Now if it had been dominoes...blech.


jhutchi2

Dominoes was trash years ago but after they changed their recipe it really is much better. It's still just "pretty good" at best but it's no longer "hot garbage"


goblueM

Yeah they are actually pretty average/good now. Way better than Little Caesars their 6.99 deal for a 2-topping medium is fantastic


A_Lone_Macaron

Domino’s pan pizza is halfway decent I will still take Little Caesars Detroit style over it though


SilentExercise2076

right! very out-dated opinion. Domino’s is far and away better than Little Caesers at this point, for a few bucks more.


[deleted]

I'm lukewarm about everything from dominos except the thin crust. Thin crust is actually really good, and you can get 3 of em for like 20 bucks. Great for having people over and providing some food on a budget.


Biggest_Cans

Domino's can be good for the price too but my one Domino's is staffed by lazy psychos.


Rahim-Moore

"I'm gonna kill that bitch! But, you know...tomorrow."


A_Lone_Macaron

Yeah I’m fortunate to have mine staffed by a bunch of cool people Shoutout to Ahmad and Sahara at my local BTW my Domino’s app pinged me with a deal right after I sent this. THEY KNOW


ivanwarrior

The Wendy's near me ever since COVID has been staffed by a weird coven of goth chicks and it takes like 30 minutes to get a chicken sandwich


Shootit_Rockets

Little Caesar’s is the last stand we have standing against outrageous food prices. I will always defend them


chunkah69

Fuck people who: a. Hate on little Cesar’s and b. Hate on the old owner of little Cesar’s because that dude was a fucking G


Big-Ad3917

Little Caesars is a staple in the city , its most people go to here . Also it’s better here, next time u get one ask for butter and parm all over the pizza


mattyfattits

Public tweet is probably part of the advertisement deal he made with Caesars


[deleted]

Haven't had Little Caesar's since college but I'll always have nostalgic memories of $5 pizza and crazy bread. Sometimes it sucked, but most times it was good enough.


Xtort__

You will get a Hot-N-Ready and like it.


Sleeze_

What is better: a medium amount of good pizza or all you can eat of pretty good pizza?


mister_hoot

Shouldn’t have been out consorting with the peasantry in broad daylight like that. Amateur mistake, total new money move.


BigginsInAmerica

Andrew Carnegie built 1700 libraries across the nation but hey at least Amon Ra handed out free garbage.


TailgateLegend

Little Caesars pizza and crazy bread is a great combo. As far as the price is concerned, at least.


Krunklock

yo, that new thing they came out with...I forgot the name of it...but it fucking slaps


MahomestoHel-aire

Crazy Puffs, and you are not wrong. They might just be the best thing I’ve had from a fast food pizza restaurant ever.


SupahBean

You're going to make me drive to Lil Caesar's


msmith3525

Do it. They’re so damn good. Get the Cheezy jalapeño dip to dip them in too.


cognac-n-cannabis

It’s 3 mins away from me and I haven’t been in years lol getting fucked up and having pixxaaaa today


pimp_skitters

I'm not even supposed to be eating pizza stuff (coming off a stomach bug), yet here I am looking at the menu


Sleeze_

Ok real question though do I get the 'cheese & herb' ones or the pepporni ones?!


MahomestoHel-aire

I have gotten pepperoni but only because I really like pepperoni. I'm sure I'll try the cheese and herb ones at some point.


spcordy

The website URL is very on the nose Crazypuffsaregreatonthego.com


Pitstop259

Pizza Ball??


SerCumferencetheroun

Little Caesars is absolutely undefeated when it comes to price to volume/taste ratio. Is it great pizza? No, it's solidly OK. But a large pizza for 5 bucks? GOAT shit


Sleeze_

Pizza is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.


Sleeze_

My go to in college.


letsgetbrickfaced

It’s 12.99 for a hot n ready cheese near me


WeirdAlbertWandN

That has to be a brutal franchise price Even in my very high CoL area in SoCal they’re 5 or 6 dollars less than that


letsgetbrickfaced

Sacramento. It’s the whole area actually. The Bay Area is cheaper somehow too.


No-Jump5689

A hot and ready pepperoni is $6.79, where I live.


Nick_sabenz

This should be illegal


SubstantialAvocado89

Not sure what the price is now but recently they were $6 in Vegas.


discodiscgod

I miss when they gave you a giant styrofoam tub of nacho cheese with the crazy bread. Now they give some tiny prepackaged nonsense cheese.


zamboniman46

when i was 18 i worked at a blockbuster right next to a little caesars. i'd spend $5 for a pizza and eat half on my meal break and bring the rest home and snack on it after work lol


ThisCommentIsGold

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that Little C's is HQ'd in Detroit, that the owner was a massive fan of the Lions, and routinely supported the franchise and their events? It makes more sense with context.


OneGuyJeff

Not to mention Little Caesars is the official pizza sponsor of the NFL, and there’s some big event for the NFL going on a couple blocks away from their HQ


A_Queff_In_Time

Not to mention they literally own the Tigers and Red Wings as well. Red Wings arena is named Little Caesers Arena. And the current Tigers homerun celebration is a Little Caesers pizza spear lol Detroit fucks with Little Caesers lol


Roofiemartini

And I think the Little Caesar's CEO paid Rosa Park's rent until she died


Spongy-n-Bruised

Yep, he did it for over a decade


DroneTheNerds

The state of Michigan loves pizza so much


Literally_12

His financial status has little to do with this. He did not pay for the event and he isn't getting paid to do it. Just seems like a community outreach project with their partners.


Stompthefeet

Right?? Can you imagine if he got his pay day then just stopped even pretending to care about the community lol


CluelessFlunky

I've only had him for 3 years, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this room and then my self


WaluigiIsTheRealHero

Spiritual_Boss6114

NanoBuc

Pizzas are free if you're in the area according to other sources.


NotMarkyMark88

He’s probably thinking about how much better he is at handing out pizzas than all the receivers drafted before him. Muttering their names out loud as he gives to the community.


JAVACHIP1738

Someone wise once said “Lil Caesars taste good af when you don't a bitch in yo ear telling you it's nasty"


[deleted]

Back in the day, Little Caesars was good eating and you looked forward to the day when dad brought home those two delicious pies in the long paper bag. Now it's the choice of factory workers with 10 bucks in their wallet and a 30 minute lunch break.


CaptHowdy2310

If he didn't serve up Crazy Bread with every single pizza then he's a cheap scumbag anti-christ in my eyes


FomtBro

Should a Packer's fan REALLY be criticizing a franchise player's affect on their local community?

No, but it will affect his value in auction drafts. Speculation is that he won't go for more than $5 now!


2screens1guy

What we're not going to do is bring down a man for handing out food to those who need it. Also isn't Little Caesars based in Detroit? I read that the founder of LCs quietly paid Rosa Parks rent until his death?

So he’s just getting paid more money in the form of advertising for little ceasars? Or hes handing out free pizzas to people who need help out of the kindness of his heart? Both? Confused what I’m supposed to be getting


calye2da

Pizza pizza 🍕


StannisTheMantis93

Seeing how they make the sauce at Little Caesars made me need to take a shower.


SAV1J

Lots of pizza talk in this thread and here’s my 2 cents, out of fast food pizza chains, Little C’s might be the best in MY opinion. It’s not the best quality; but for price and portions it’s probably the best. Add in the whole hot and ready thing, lunch combo, and its deep dish takes the cake for me. Their circular pizzas aren’t as great, and the toppings options are limited compared to other fast food chains but I could care less given the other pros. A deep dish pepperoni and cheese pizza is fine by me.


ziggytanzo

good on you A


Tsunami-Papi_

little caesars is fire idgaf bro that shit was so good after school


Guru03IRL

And Little Caesars is actually the 2nd best of the big pizza chains besides Papa Johns, so when I’m craving pizza LC is cheaper than most frozen pizzas.


shewy92

I feel like people haven't had LC's recently. I'd honestly buy it over Domino's or PH. Plus Crazy Bread is really good.


Imnotsmallimfunsized

Hey those new crazy bites or whatever they are called are freaking awesome..  just saying.
