You probably don't remember when the schtick was square pizza.

The Hot N Ready idea saved the company because it doesn't require very many employees to run a chain when 90% of their tasks are making the same pizza over and over. The other interesting decision they made was that they focus on urban sales, rather than going after high-end affluent markets like most of their competitors do.

What else is there left to say? Aside from heartburn.

Making the same pizza is still making pizza. The store I go to is high volume and it's always packed with employees. Way more than I see at any other chain.

I was just saying that I thoguht they already had this 5$ deal menu. I went not long ago and thought everything was this price if not cheaper. I feel like they raised the wings price by doing this..

I had a hot and ready over Christmas for the first time in a year and it was surprisingly better than I remembered. It was also hot...and ready.

Their Pizza's with a lot of toppings and their deep dish offerings are over the $5 price point. That and the Deep Dish is the best thing at LCs

4 20oz Pepsi's for $5 seems like a shit deal considering you can buy 5 2Liters of Cokes or Dr Peppers for the same price.

I remember going to the drive in theater with my family in the early to mid 90s and ordering a Big Foot pizza and a bucket of spaghetti from LC. It'll always have a special place in my heart ... and stomach.

*edit* Bigfoot pizza was Pizza Hut? Well I swear LC had something similar .

Shit, maybe we went to Pizza Hut before the drive in lol

This menu can fuck right off. Went to order a stuffed crust last week and was told they got rid of it and replaced it with this.

Right, but that's still over the price point. The large classic, wings, and loaded bread was 5$ or under at mine just recently. Ah well. Maybe I'll drop by this week again

Little Caesar's "Pizza Pizza" always game in a 2-fer long pack, that's what you're thinking of.

yeah that constantly happens with me and my LC.

they introduce something new and good and get rid of it.
introduce something crappy and it sticks around.

to be fair my chain likely doesn't have this menu or more so would be the 5.99 menu as my local chain opened up with $5 pizzas and then like 6 months after went up to $5.99 pizzas.

I just go down the road to papa murphy's instead most of the time as at $5 LC is decent but at $6 I would rather just pay a little more and get far better pizza.

The $5 Hot-And-Ready was such a great idea from a business perspective.

Like seriously, LC is the third-biggest chain for pizza in the US and were struggling to compete, so they said "what sucks about ordering pizza?" The answers to that are 1) it takes too fucking long and 2) it costs way too much. The Hot 'N Ready idea takes care of both of those simultaneously.

It was a genius idea and pretty much brought them back in the game.

I dont mind it as a cheap pizza either so long as it's hot when i eat it. It's not to great for eating later though. Their deep dish is decent for the cost too.

I wish I could be enthused about this but something about their cheese blend really tastes bad to me and also wrecks my stomach. Ditto their wing seasoning blend.

I regularly frequented Little Caesar's when they had their full pretzel pizza (not like Pizza Hut's crappy pretzel crust). Wish they'd bring it back.
