Little Caesars Compliment - A Slice of Heaven! - $5 Pizza

$5 Pizza - Compliment
Review by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24
While it may not be your deep dish pie pizza from your mom and pop joints in Chicago or New York, it still fits the bill in my books. A pepperoni, sausage, or cheese pizza for only $5! How can you go wrong? This is a hugely popular menu item and has forced others to mimic their special, i. e.-Domino's and Pizza Hut with their similar promotions.

It just goes to show that they "CAN" make a pizza and sell it for less than the $15-$20 they usually charge. The other chains are either forced to compete, or close their doors. I've always liked their crusts compared to Pizza Hut or Domino's. The only chain with a better crust is Papa John's. But they don't usually run the $5-$10 pizza promo's very often.

So if I had to weigh all the pros and cons to a quick, delicious, inexpensive pizza...Little Caesar's comes out on top in my opinion.

Are you going to leave the size of the pizza to our imaginations? As it stands now, the size could very well be divined, but that would still require an assumption.

Large, single-topping pizza.
Posted by Lsalvador on 2011-03-24:
Looks like a large.
Never liked LC, and I'm getting queazy from the thought of eating a 5 dollar pie from there.

Bad pizza, (IMO) good review.
Posted by bluediamond98 on 2011-03-24:
I love Pizza! Pizza! They aren't $5 here anymore though.
Posted by Lsalvador on 2011-03-24:
I remember eating a piece of the pepperoni that they sale. Putrid!

Dirm, what state are you in?
Posted by ript on 2011-03-24:
Thank you for clarifying your statement justice.

Looks aren't everything Lsal. :)
Posted by Lsalvador on 2011-03-24:
So true, Ript.
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
Lsalvador> Euphoria.

I've never been a fan of the little ceasars Hot or Ready but it's no worse than any other chain pizza. I tend to stick with the locally owned establishments. I pamper myself.

I'm glad you like it dirm.
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
Lord> I too like to pamper myself, especially when it comes to my 2nd favorite food...pizza. The best in town is a small joint called Riverside Pizza, owned by some ol' dude from Sicily or someplace. Man-o-man, can that feller make a pizza pie! Anyway, the review was more of a "bang-for-your-buck" type of review.

My roommates buy this pizza all the time. There's an awesome pizza place in Gilbert called Rino D's. They have a carryout special for $8 for an extra large pizza. Yeah it's $3 more, but there's more pizza and it's a zillion times better
Posted by littleshorty on 2011-03-24:
Great, now I'm craving pizza
Posted by momsey on 2011-03-24:
I've been craving pizza all day!!!
Posted by Lord Rothschild on 2011-03-24:
What toppings do you crave on your pizza momsey?
Posted by madconsumer on 2011-03-24:
i like papa johns thin crust pepperoni pizza best.
Posted by justcuz on 2011-03-24:
DIRM, sometimes I wonder how it is that you're still walking around with the amount of unhealthy food you ingest. Just look at that grease stain on the bottom of the box!!
Posted by Lsalvador on 2011-03-24:
Make mine, Blackjack or Dominoes.
Posted by Lord Rothschild on 2011-03-24:
JC, we can't all be like you and only eat things that don't leave a shadow. That's no reason for judgment.
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
DIRM, do you use those Little Ceasers Rewards card, when you have 10 hole punches, you get 1 free pizza.
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
I, too, order Little Ceasers and I eat it once a week.
Posted by justcuz on 2011-03-24:
There's a difference between judging and wondering.

*giving Lord the one finger salute!*
Posted by Lord Rothschild on 2011-03-24:
Hey baby I already know I'm number one but I never grow tired of having it reinforced. You love me and why wouldn't you. I'm the real deal.
Posted by momsey on 2011-03-24:
I really like onions, pepperoni and/or sausage.

There's a pizza place near my work that always puts unusual things on their pizza. One of the best slices I had there had bleu cheese and French fries. Mmmmmm.
Posted by singsing on 2011-03-24:
Good point, jc. Real pizza leaves no grease stain. It's also not loaded down with toppings like we have here in the states at the chains. I opt for the small pizza places, preferably run by Sicilians. And, it has to be a wood-fired oven to make a delicious pizza.

DIRM, I do get the point of your post though. Quick food for a cheap price that tastes halfway decent.
Posted by Lsalvador on 2011-03-24:
".....that always puts unusual things on their pizza. One of the best slices I had there had bleu cheese and French fries. Mmmmmm."

Momsey, no offense intended but just thinking about that caused me to gain two pounds!

Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
MRM> I hadn't heard of the reward card? Not sure if it would apply to the Hot-n-Ready $5 pizzas though? If so, that would be quite the deal for me. Thanks, I'll definitely check it out!
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
Its called Hot N Ready Rewards and Ive got 4(out of 10) more punches to go till I get a free pizza.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2011-03-24:
Those actually are pretty good. I've bought them when I wanted something quick without having to cook.
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
J/C> Are you judging me by wondering how I am still able to walk around after eating greasy food? How would you like it if I posted the picture you emailed me last year? And show everybody how you look.

Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
Anyone interested in seeing J/C's actual body posted on my blog, please comment.
Posted by ript on 2011-03-24:
Don't go there justice.
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
For entertainment value, I want to see it! I want to see it!
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
That's one yes and one no (technically...don't go there).

Three more yes from different members and I'll post it. I just don't think it's fair to poke fun without retaliation. Maybe she'll wish she hadn't sent the picture.
Posted by Lord Rothschild on 2011-03-24:
I vote no.
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
that's two no's...you're losing ground MRM.
Posted by bluediamond98 on 2011-03-24:
No from Lee
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
I'm sorry, but it's the principle of the matter. Regardless of the amount of no's. She wants to make fun of me, then I'll make fun of her and her red dress.

Post should show on my blog shortly...
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
I would like to remind you that whatever you post is for entertainment purpose only and that I will not take it seriously.

I want to see it! I want to see it!

I eat pizza for lunch every day. Wegman's frozen, self rising. It is pretty good for frozen. When I buy it out, it is at a local independent joint. I am out in the country, so local is relative. I'm impressed this LC can do it for $5, and I'm glad it is good.
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
I just saw the pic on the blog...

J/C> Maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps you're on to something with all that organic milk and food?
Posted by MRM on 2011-03-24:
Santa Maria!
Posted by Justice-4-All on 2011-03-24:
I am truly sorry for betraying your trust and showing the picture that you emailed to me with the strictest confidence. But sometimes you make me soooooo mad, and that whole "wondering how I still walk around" comment really pushed me over the edge.
Posted by unslated on 2011-03-24:
Whoa! I haven't seen a Little Caesar's in quite some time. I think Papa Murphy's can kick their butt, though. Glad you enjoyed it!
Posted by momsey on 2011-03-24:
Leave me alone, Lsalvador, I'm pregnant!
Posted by Nicole29 on 2011-03-24:
Momsey that pizza sounds good to me!

Dirm thanks for the review. I used to like lc but had forgotten about them.

IT'S ALL THAT GREASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, look who decided to join the party!

Bad enough you branded my eyes with that atrocious Valentine's Day outfit, now I have to be subjected to verbal harassment about my eating and dietary habits? When is enough going to be enough? When will you finally sate your appetite for ridicule? When the last slice of persiflage flavored pepperoni pizza is gone?
