Little Caesar’s Pizza

I figured I’d run in for 2 hot n ready pizza pies. They only had 1 pizza available and I was told if I wait 7 minutes the other would be ready. She was working on 8 phone orders, so she was backed up. No problem, things happen. I get home and the 2^nd pizza was torched. We couldn’t even microwave it. Disgusted and dissatisfied!

For fake pizza it’s not bad. Price is good but there is no seating so everything is to go.

You couldn’t pay me to buy a $ 5 pizza from LC’s East Orange branch, so I’d rather drive 15 miles to Edison for one. This branch is in a plaza, right next to Enterprise.
Folks up north take their pizza seriously. I’m not as strict, so pizza from certain chains is fine by me. Little Caesar’s $ 5 hot and ready pepperoni succeeds at what Pizza Hut fails at: Cheap good pizza. There’s plenty of cheese, sauce, and pepperoni. You obviously can’t call this artisan pizza, but hey, it fills a craving. The people here are friendly and make each pie correctly.

All my life I’ve seen commercials for Little Caesars but there was never a location near me in northeastern jersey. Needless to say when I ran into one on my way home from work, I got crazy excited for a $ 5 hot and ready. And hot and ready it was! It tastes like a less bready, lower quality dominoes but for $ 5 and no wait, I’m not complaining. I heart pizza.

When this place first opened the prices were good and the food was what it was. In the past three months, the prices were raised and the staff was cut to barebones. On the plus side the quality did not suffer all that much, but it did dip a bit.
First, the price for a «hot-​n-​ready» cheese pizza was $ 5.99, but has been raised to $ 6.99 with most of the menu being raised by at least a dollar and in some cases two. Though «Little Caesars» is not a pricy place by any means, the price jump was big when you consider most of the food isn’t expensive to begin with.
Second, the place used to be staffed by three or four people, but has been cut down to two or even one on a slow night. While a late night staff doesn’t have to have four or five people a busy Saturday night should. I waited 35 minutes for one stuffed crust pepperoni pizza because the two guys working were way back up and struggled with order after order.
Finally, I am happy to say the quality of the food has not gone down with the lack of staff. As usually you will get what you pay for and with this pizza place you would do well if your in a pinch, but would do better if you found a good pizza place close by.
All in all, it isn’t bad, but the high prices and wait times from the lack of staff might undo this place. It has a good location and that will likely keep it going longer, but it might go under if it doesn’t fix the problems that plague it.

Ok, — I’ll start by saying that I really dislike l.c.‘s in general. I liked it 20+ years ago when they had“pizza-pizza” 2 for 1 pizzas. Then I grew up and tried many a better pie.
My kids were craving and this spot had good reviews, so being short on time, we ordered teriyaki wings, boneless wings and a pretzel crust pie.
Teriyaki wings– watery cheap sauce. 8 for $ 6
Boneless wings– dried out and almost nothing in the box. $ 6 for less meat than the teriyaki wings and a cheap sauce.
Pretzel pizza– loved it. Worth the $ 6.99, but they charge $ 1.50 for each additional topping beyond the standard pepperoni and the pie is about a medium sized– good for 3 people MAX. It has a cheese sauce instead of marinara based which was a plus for all of us as we don’t prefer red sauce. **you cannot sub anything for the pepperoni**.
Personally, I would recommend ordering the pretzel pie and adding your own extra cheese and fixings as they are stingy with the toppings. Otherwise, a delicious crust. Buy dipping sauce or use your own for the delicious pretzel crust.

I’ve been doing a lot of chains lately. And as you can see, I’ve gone to this one a lot. As of this writing I am the Duke! Hahaha. Anyways, is it the greatest pizza ever? No, but when you have a hungry 3 and 9 year old, and they just want to eat, and also want it cheap I’ll take it. Besides the prices, Little Caesars backs up what they advertise. Fresh hot and ready food as soon as you walk in. Even if you order specialty pies your wait is minimal. Always a consistent product. The one area where they excel at and separate itself from the other chains is service. Employees are always nice and helpful. Even took the time to help my wife carry food to her car when she had the kids one day. Store is always clean! Definite repeat customer!

Just fine for what it is. We came because my daughter saw commercial. All of the family enjoyed the pep pizza & buffalo wings. Her first meal after leaving the hospital.
