OT: Little Caesars Hot n' Ready: Delicious pizza with great value? Or low class garbage?

Submitted by Photogenic on

On a whim tonight, I decided to pick up a Hot n Ready pizza. Not a frequent pizza eater, but was very hungry and wanted something tasty right away. I have to say, for the price it's actually pretty decent pizza. I used to make fun of it in the past, but in a world where you can't even get lunch for under $8, they've certainly converted me.

I thought I'd pose this question to the MGoBlogosphere. Is this good value pizza? Or just rubbish?

Little Caesars is the most inconsistent pizza I've ever had. Some days it'll be the best pizza you've had in a while, and the next day you could just throw it away 2 bites in.

If you're going to Caesar, ask them to make you one well done.  That way you get one that's right out of the oven ... and it's actually cooked sufficiently.  Most of the hot and readys seem to be underdone.

Not bad for $5 but I ate way to much in college when they had $5 pizza on Monday only.... It's better than a frozen pizza but doesn't compare to La Cantina's pizza in Paw Paw.

Have never even considered eating a $5 Hot & Ready.

I haven't considered Little Caesar's a food item in years.  The cardboard likely is better than what they consider pizza.  It is the worst of the worst.  I live in NYC and occasionally see someone with one of those boxes and wonder why.  Why would anybody eat that?  Can it possibly satisfy anything?

No.  Just no.

I always assume it's East Coasters who have never had anything else. Give me Detroit or Chicago anytime over NY style. NY pizza is just a thin slice of grease

I'm also a sauce guy, but good NY style (especially New Haven or Jersey Shore) tends to be my favorite. I'm non denominational though, and love a good Detroit or Chicago pizza, but for me the key is a tasty sauce and roughly a 1:1:1 ratio of sauce/crust/cheese. My biggest problem with pizza is either a bland sauce or not enough sauce.

Ok pizza / $5 vs. Good pizza / $15

If I want decent pizza for cheap, Little Caesar's is great

If I want really good pizza, Little Caesar's ain't the place to go

Not only that, but they based their entire marketing campaign on how they were changing their ways with new management and focusing on actually making good pizza.

The entire marketing campaign seemed to be a huge F U to DB.

I remember being in high school 12 years ago and splitting $5 hot n readies with a friend for lunch 2-3 days a week. I can't believe they have managed to keep their prices the same in all these years.
