It seems people like to rag on Little Caesars, saying that it's bad quality. Yes, the $5 one topping pizzas are indeed low quality. It seems there are never enough ingredients on them. Also, since they're "ready made", they've usually been sitting in the heater for a while by the time you pick one up. They're $5 so there's no surprise they're going to skimp on the ingredients. I can't recommend them because they're just not that great. I'd give the one-topping pizzas 2.5 stars. HOWEVER, my 5-star review is for the 3-MEAT ($8) and SUPREME pizzas ($9) which are freshly made, not pulled from a heater on which they've been sitting for an unknown period of time. The pizzas that they make fresh, which include the 3-meat, supreme, and custom pizzas are all good. Why? Because there seems to be a conscientious effort by the employees to do a better job on the premium pizzas. So in short, get the supreme and 3-meat pizzas because they're way better and worth the extra cost. They're made FRESH and come loaded with ingredients, unlike the ready-made one-topping pizzas which are sparsely covered. Also, the supreme pizzas have some veggies on them which is healthier if that matters to you. Let's put it this way. I went to a Gino's East one Friday night because I had a Groupon. I was disappointed in their deep dish pizza which was soggy and scarce in ingredients, and therefore mediocre. It also cost over $25. With my pizza fix left unsatisfied, the next day I went to Little Caesars and got the supreme for $9. It was way better. The price of something often doesn't correspond neatly with how good it is. $9 supreme pizzas FTW.

okay for $5 you can't go wrong... Their pizza is always hot and ready...you really cant beat that....too bad there is no delivery otherwise i would be stuffing my face with it every night....bread sticks aren't what I remember them as a kid and they lost the square pizza as well...honestly I thought the entire company went belly up in the 90's..apparently not, I am still going back just for the price....

Sometimes when I get off the train and head to Frescasita Mercado to do some grocery shopping, this place pulls me in with it's Hot and Ready 5 dollar pizzas. I'm not proud to say that I can eat a whole pepperoni pizza on my own (they aren't exactly large by other pizzeria's standards). The crazy bread is chronic of course. So cheap, greasy, and satisfying. As a friend once said, this place makes you appreciate when you have the time to eat real food, but when you don't, there's Little Caesars. Stay away anytime between 6:30-7:30ish or so, cause they have a line out the door and the Hot and Readies take a 10-15 minute wait!

This place has $5 hot and ready pizzas. They are ok but for the price it's a great deal. ...#winning. Don't get the deep dish though.

If you have seemingly no time on your hands, go to Little Caesar's. Seriously, I was in and out in literally 2 minutes. TWO MINUTES! SERIOUSLY. Thanks to Little Caesar's, I managed to get my Zipcar back in the knick of time plus grab a cheap dinner that costs slightly more than Starbucks coffee. Win!

Sometimes you just need crazy bread. This is like any other Little Caesars. You are in, out, and on with your life. The only difference from when you walk in to when you leave is the fact that you will carrying something made of carbs and covered in grease. But hey, if that's what you want (like I occasionally do), you can't do it for less than this.

Always have hot and ready racks stocked! Clean and personable staff. I was pleasantly surprised to find more of the menu on the ready to go rack . Great place If you need a fast reasonably priced meal!

their new pretzel crust pizza is really horrible and another thing I would like to add is why does it seem like every time time I go to this location I am told I have to wait at least 10 min. What happen to hot and ready????

Cheap, satisfying, and convenient. $5 for a large cheese pizza, $2 for crazy bread. It's not Giordano's or Palermo's. No where close. HOWEVER, compared to the other $5 large pizza options, it is a winner. You can't even get a DiGiorno frozen pizza for $5+tax. $5 is like 7/11 frozen pizza. This, was much better than that. Trust me. I've tried it...many times. Once we get the notions that this is supposed to be amazing pizza out of the way, we get to what it is. It's surprisingly good for the money. It's much better than any dorm/school food that I've had. Pizza-it was still warm by the time got home. I walked to and from the place. I live less than a mile away. It wasn't hot and it was clear that the pizza had been sitting for awhile in the warming thing. If i was throwing a party, I'd pick up 3-4 of these without questioning. Less than $25 WITH TAX for 4 large pizzas. The sauce was slightly spicy and pretty sweet. Very decent sauce. Cheese-was a bit stiff. This is what made me think the pizza had been sitting awhile. Overall, when I'm in the mood for pizza, but am broke-I'll continue to go to the place. It's close enough to my apartment, cheap, and satisfying.

Did you gamble all your money away at the penny slots? Is your credit card balance greater than your checking account balance? Did the City of Chicago rob you of your allotted food money for the week by issuing double parking tickets during "street cleaning"? Did your drunken stupor leave a $100 tip instead of a 5? If this sounds like you, then Little Caesars may be the place for you. Yeah, that would be my late nite commercial for L.C. pizza. Why I like Pizza Pizza: 1. Just drive up and make a pizza transaction in under 2 minutes with the Hot n Ready pizza. 2. You can ask for half sausage, half cheese for an extra wait time of 3 minutes. 3. $5 for a large pizza that can feed up to four. 4. I can easily augment the taste by opening a jar of pasta sauce. Sometimes I saute garlic with butter and a touch of sherry to make butter garlic dipping sauce similar to Papa John's. Of course it's not high quality pizza but I think it's just as good as Dominos for half the price. The only complaint I have is they close a little before 10pm.

Little Caesars is good, cheap, and convenient. You can also add Mack, the friendly guy at the register as a bonus for this location. For 17 bucks, we got a large saugage pepperoni and bacon pizza, crazy bread, dipping sauce, and wings. The wait was short, the food was hot, and we were stuffed with plenty of leftovers. Win!

Little Caesar's! Like when you were a kid! I honestly hadn't had Little Caesar's since I was in grade school when my brother kept finding $.99 crazy bread coupons and would bring a bag of them home after school. It was glorious...all those garlicky soft breadsticks...so melty... But anyway... My boyfriend spied this new Little Caesar's one day when driving up Clark (not hard to spot with the big balloon on top calling us in) and told me that there was some "Hot-N-Ready(tm)" deal for $5 anytime...all day...every day...and you can choose pepperoni, sausage or cheese. To add on a crazy bread it's $1 more. So really, you can feed two adults and two kids for something like $6.54 with tax. SIX FIFTY FOUR PEOPLE!! My boyfriend is chiming in behind me saying "that's 1.64 a person!" He's right. It is. It's not the best pizza on the planet. We all know that. But it's delicious in a way that you remember fondly and for the price it's pretty fantastic. Bravo for making a comeback, Little Caesar's! You've got our little family hooked!

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
