Little Caesars Pizza

The 5 dollar lunch box was fresh and hot. Customer Service was great!

If you want your pizza made by a convict with an IQ that matches the number of years they’ve spent in prison, this is «the joint» for you.
Would recommend eating cold as it cover ups the nuances of cheap ingredients you would otherwise notice warm.
Bottom line: $ 5 box of grease, take it for what it is.

Little Caesar’s and I go way back. Being from Michigan, LC’s are a dime a dozen, much like how Whataburgers are in the Austin area. Since the owner (Mike Ilitch) also owns the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers, Little Caesar’s is definitely a Detroit thing. I spent a couple of years right after HS working @ LC making my mark in the pizza biz. Awww yeah.
When I moved to Austin in 1999 I was surprised to see very little Little Caesar’s in the area, and I heard that several had even closed down. Thanks to Roxy (the manager at this location), she gave me the low-​down on the LC history. Roxy was also the reason why the experience here went well, a very deserving 4-​stars to say the least — — I’m definitely a fan.
The pizza quality isn’t as good as I remember, however, it’s still respectable compared to other pizza establishments. You can’t go wrong with their Crazy Bread — always a hit with extra garlic butter and cheese (to coat your arteries). They recently brought the square pizza back as part of their pick-​up special ($ 8 for a large). They also crank out the large 1 topping round version for $ 5.99 here.
On this visit with a friend we were craving a piece of history and stopped in on a whim one late Friday night to put in an order for the new Square Deal. Roxy greeted us — she was very professional and courteous. There were several patrons waiting for their order, we figured it would take 20 – 30 min, but Roxy said 10 – 15 min which sounded better. Wouldn’t you know she was right. 15 min later our pizza was out hot and fresh along w/​the breadsticks. I opened it up to take a looksie — — very nice, and it tasted just like the good ‘ol days.
Roxy makes it happen here, she was a jack of all trades, dealing w/​impatient customers, packaging pies up asap and working w/​her crew in the back on prioritizing orders. She knew her stuff and was flawless, she said she’s been w/​LC for over 8 years so that made sense. I think in the future if I ever make it back to LC, I’ll make sure to go here and look for Roxy — — she quality and gets the job done.

I find the Little Caesars reviews on here quite hilarious.
People go to chain stores expecting hand-​crafted artisan pies worthy of a five star review. lol. I’m not sure why they do this, but apparently its happening. Little Caesars really only offers one thing: cheap speedy pizza. Known for it’s «5 dollar large» adds, you shouldn’t go there expecting more than a large cheese or pepperoni pizza.
Now this pizza is not going to be devine. It is however a large pizza for only $ 5. Now add to this the fact that I even took time to review an econ-​o chain pizza store: Tuesday is $ 3.99 large day. $ 2 per person for me and my wife is pretty cheap no matter how you slice it (ahhhhh i just had to say it).
The only thing to watch out for is the dreaded «hot-​n-​ready oven.» Their mass production approach means that sometimes pizzas sit around in their «warming» ovens. So in order to not get a pizza thats been sitting there for two hours, just ask for a fresh one.
Go there if you want a cheese/​pepperoni pizza fast and cheap. Do not go there if you don’t know what you want, because you won’t find it here!
