Little Caesars

Got some Little Caesars tonight for the first time in about two decades. For $ 5, my cheese pizza was pretty alright. There were some tempting pretzel bites on the menu as well, but I decided to keep it simple and take what was already cooked and ready to go. Ordinarily I’d have a lot more to say about pizza, but this definitely falls into the cheap pizza category, and it’s just fine for what it is.

If you are lucky enough to get an actually hot pizza then this place is one step above a frozen pizza. You really can’t complain about the quality since you’re paying five bucks and some change. So if your looking for pizza without the wait I guess this is the spot for you.

Really bad pizza. I usually get my pizza from the lombard location, but I decide to stop here on my way, and my pizza was crunchy because it was burned, tasted bad, I hate this.

By far the worst pizza I’ve ever got from little Caesars. Completely dried out with holes in the pizza and it was stuck to the cardboard box. Pass. Pass. Pass.

Worst place ever! If I could give 0 stars I would! Hot and ready? I think not! They are never ready, so I tried calling ahead. Waited 10 minutes to get to register to be told it would be 10 minutes (20 minutes past the time I had ordered for). Will not be giving them more business until I hear owners have changed it!

I’ve always had a good experience at this location. They usually have the Hot n’ Ready pizza ready to go or done within minutes. Most Little Caesars suck at this. The quality of the pizza is good here in comparison to other Little Caesars.
$ 5 for a decent pizza, can’t beat that.
If you somehow haven’t been to Little Caesars before, it’s value pizza not some super great authentic Chicago style pizza. For the price though, its a great deal for «fast food» pizza.

Walked in at 1:45pm this afternoon and food a greatly cooked pep pizza for $ 5.41…straiight.

Get a Tombstone!
Filthy disgusting place. I saw the cashier ponytail her hair, take cash, text message, then go make a pizza… GROSS!
I was there for about 15 minutes and she did not wash her hands once.
What’s worse is that there are no gloves or utensils used to place the toppings. They are sitting in an open area and she took that filthy hand and dug right in. It may have been one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever witnessed… EVER.
Another customer asked her to heat up some bread sauce. She placed the sauce in the bake oven and took that same hand and stuck her finger in the sauce to test if it was warm… I almost projectile vomitted.
I called to complain and they said the franchise owner would contact me. Do you think I ever got a call back? NOT!
As a kid, I used to eat LC all the time. Little Ceasars is a disgusting place that will soon be obselete. Quality and cleanliness has gone to pits. This place is gross and absolutely no one cares about it, not even the owner himself.
You’ve been warned…

Pizza hot-​n-​ready for $ 5. Of course it’s not going to be big on «taste». It’s $ 5. However, their Crazy Bread is CRAZY GOOD! We usually order several bags at a time and for the most part it is fresh and tasty. (ordered 4 bags this afternoon!) When they burn it, it’s not very good but that happens only about 25% of the time. But when they make it perfectly… OH MAN!!! The warm bread, the butter, garlic… your taste buds are in for a treat.
Basically, 2 stars for the pizza. It’s not very good but it’s $ 5. Don’t expect gormet pizza. The crazy bread is 5 stars.

I can remember when I was an early teenager in the mid-​80s and my family would stop by Little Caesar’s to pick up a couple of pizzas for Sunday lunch. The pizza was so incredibly good, we’d devour every slice and wish there was more, often times scraping the tiny bits of melted cheese off the piece of cardboard that was left over.
Fast-​forward 24 years… to the current state of Little Caesar’s and how far it has fallen. Somewhere within the last couple of decades, it occurred to the corporate owners of Little Caesar’s that they could own the «value segment» of the pizza category. This meant that they would lower their prices to unheard of levels and pump out sub-​par to mediocre pies to all the frugal masses who didn’t care about taste, texture and overall meal satisfaction. It is really sad what they’ve done to a once delicious and quality pizza. Yes, it’s only $ 5 for a large pizza, but I can get a frozen Tombstone for $ 3.89 that tastes a whole lot better… and that isn’t saying much.
On top of this, they seem to have a case of the «me too» flu. On their boxes, it claims «A Family Company» (just like SC Johnson, the makers of tub and toilet cleaners). They also have a «freshest ingredients guarantee» on the side, which, the last time I checked, that was already Poppa John’s turf. I see a company that wants so desperately to be something, but can’t quite put their finger on what that something is. So they settled for being the «El Cheapo» brand and then tried to copycat the marketing from the other guys who they wished they were. Hopefully, they can take yet another cue from one of their competitors (Domino’s) and make some serious upgrades to their pizza as well.
So, with that, I would like to leave the family who owns Little Caesar’s with one last comment: I will gladly pay you an extra $ 5 on top of the $ 5 you already charge per pizza if you just bring back the version you used to sell in the mid-​to-​late 80s instead of this watered down, boring, chewy, bland and weak concoction you are dishing-​up today. Until then, you probably won’t be getting any of my money at any of your locations unless I am desperate and there are no other options anywhere else nearby. Thank you. There, I said it… and I feel better now.

The pizza is still the same, $ 5 and fast. But just found out that they got rid of their surly staff from a year ago — now they are pleasant, efficient, and very friendly.
No, the pizza won’t win any awards — but $ 5?!
I guess I’m cheap.

Horrendous, not worth it. Messed up my order, overcharged me. When I asked for receipt, lady at counter seemed angry with me. Never will go back!

the crack of pizza, i love it !! a piping hot pepperoni pie handed right to you for 5 bucks, you cannot beat that with your left hand.
always make sure to get a thing of crazy sauce to dip your bones in.

You absolutely cannot beat the price: $ 5 for a large ready made pizza. Yeah it’s not the greatest pizza and yes a lot of times it’s undercooked and yes. well, yes it’s only a choice of a couple of toppings, but it’s $ 5. a large pizza for $ 5. If you’re in a hurry and really hungry and don’t want to spend any money, you would be foolish not to get a Little Caesars pizza.
