Logo and quality

I think that this should not talk about the quality of the pizza as it is not a fact. Also Little Caesars uses higher grade of meat then Dominoes or Pizza Hut (They buy machine seperated meat.) They also do not use MSG, which there main competitors do. Could we get a picture of their logo up as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.255.164.198 (talk) 17:12, 29 June 2005 (UTC)

I put up the logo and agree that the quality should not be mentioned in the article as I think Little Caesar's is delicious and know a lot of people who agree and a lot more people who don't understand good pizza(winking emoticon)--Kryptknight 19:49, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Untitled

The first line states or implies that this company is only in the united states... now i admit that the US of A will soon be the only country left on earth, but for now let's pretend that other countries exist and that little ceasars has operations outside of the dream world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.249.227.56 (talk) 07:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Minneapolis-St. Paul

It's false that the chain is absent from Minneapolis=St. Paul. Perhaps at one time they were, but it is no longer true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.42.129.30 (talk) 19:06, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Markets

Just wondering, is Little Caesars pervasive outside the Metro Detroit area? 216.58.25.90

It was pretty common here in the Houston Metro area ten years ago, but now every one that I knew of is gone. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 02:37, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

They're in some markets, not in others. They have a minor decent presence in the Syracuse metro, but I believe all their locations are still in Kmarts here. as, after checking, I found nine locations, only one of which is in a Kmart. -newkai | talk | contribs 11:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

They all but abandoned Atlanta in the late 90's / early 2000's, but a number of new franchises have appeared in the last year (an employee at one near us in Woodstock, GA, says they started up four months ago). I also noticed a number of new locations while driving around the San Francisco penninsula this week. Grain of salt:, this comment is entirely anecdotal.

I feel this resourceful article should be added to a category for unscrupolous organizations that fail to follow even basic child labor laws.

Haven't seen one in awhile. Possibly due to the horrid taste of their product, according to my pallette, but others may revel in their fare. Burp.20:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Many of them have gone belly-up in Eastern Ontario, they used to be in Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville but now the closest Little Caesar location to Ottawa is Oshawa or Peterborough some 400km distant. I think the last of the three Ottawa locations went bankrupt a year or so ago. --66.102.80.239 19:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

There are many in the Chicagoland area, and I regularly go there to get my fill of the greasiest pizza on Earth. 206.252.74.48 (talk) 18:04, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Largest Store? What proof?

Little Caesars and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_Hut both say they are the largest. We need to clean BOTH up, as only one can be. Will aslo post this msg at PH's section.

Little Caesars is the world's largest carry-out chain. Pizza Hut is the largest pizza chain overall. -newkai t-c 08:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You know, I wouldn't cite the chain itself as the source!! And does this mean Little Caeser's is carry-out only?! Hillsboro 18:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

There was at least one Ontario location at some point that had full dining-room style facilties, most likely because the chain picked up some locations from the former Mothers regional pizza/italian-food chain. Not sure what still exists of this. Certainly the majority of these stores are carry-out pizza stands only.

I added a source that states a research firm estimates it to be the fourth-largest chain in the United States. -newkai t-c 21:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Historic Corner Reference

I am adding a little biline of how the original Little Caesars restaurant was built on the very same corner as the Original K-Mart.

That is not a true statement. The original Little Caesars is still in operation at Cherryhill and Venoy in Garden City, Michigan.

The original Kmart is also still in operation at Ford Rd and Middlebelt also in Garden City, Michigan.

You are correct. Does anyone know who the Pizza makers were at the first site between 1959 and 1965? Was there one by the name of Pat? A heavy guy.

The Venoy and Cherry Hill Little Caesar's is not the original, the original was in the back of a bar on Middlebelt and Ford. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.231.160 (talk) 09:26, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Little Caesars Perth

There is a pizza store operating under the name of Little Caesars in Mundaring, on the outskirts of Perth, Western Australia. Is there any information as to whether this store is affiliated with the main franchise, or possibly if this local store has hitherto hampered attempts by the franchise to enter the Australian market (in a similar way to Burger King opening its restaurants in Australia as Hungry Jack's)?

They're definitely not affiliated (the name is different, and the pizza isn't franchise crap). I have no idea if there's any plans for the American chain to start up in Australia, and even if they were, they'd do it in the eastern states, not the west. 124.169.84.140 (talk) 12:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Little Caesar's in Perth would already be operating under a business name and therefore the American company would not be able to use the name, at least in Western Australia and probably in the whole country. But who knows! If the american company was established in the 50s, then perhaps they would be able to pull it off, since the Perth one was established in the 90s. 144.139.121.190 (talk) 14:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Citing Sources

This article seems to state many claims that aren't sourced(anything that says "Little Ceasers is most famous for...", and the claims of expansion. Most of the article comes across as speculation rather than research.

Added advert template

This article, as has been mentioned a few times already, fails to cite its resources, has a decidedly un-neutral tone, and seems to have been subject to a fair bit of correction of its claims. The advert template is appropriate here I think. 72.177.15.157 01:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Expansion?

I feel like there isn't enough elaboration on Little Caesars' history. Maybe we need to expand on this? 76.240.197.39 (talk) 22:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, especially why Little Caesar's had to withdraw from some market (i.e. Indianapolis) 98.223.197.235 (talk) 17:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Yo, somebody gots to talk about the memory videogames that were in the store that would reward you with free foodstuffs depending on how well you played for a quarter. I used to score a free two topping every few days! 199.171.86.151 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 19:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC).

Two square pizzas

When I first met Little Caesars, you got two pizzas and they were square, if I remember right. This was early 80s. Or square might have been an option. This article doesn't mention square pizzas though, so I could be confused and thinking of Domino's. Did Domino's ever do square pizzas?13:00, 17 July 2010 (UTC)Patsobest (talk)

The square pizzas were the pan crust pizzas. When made correctly, the cheese and toppings were extended to the edges of the pizza so that there would be no uncovered crust. 98.94.57.249 (talk) 01:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Two Sentences Out of Place

These two Sentences are included in the Trademark in Canada section, yet they have nothing to do with Canada or Trademarks.

Little Caesars was among the first to use a new kind of speed cooking conveyor oven, the "Rotary Air Impingement Oven" as described in U.S. Patent 5676044 .

In 1998, Little Caesars filled what was then the current largest pizza order, filling an order of 13,386 pizzas from the VF Corporation of Greensboro, North Carolina. 67.49.108.114 (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

2 Pizzas for the Price of 1

This always was a huge selling point for the chain back in the 80's. Any idea why they stopped doing it (even if due simply to economics)? I think that would be a pretty germane note in the chain's history. zappafrank2112 (talk) 15:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

They might not do the "2 Pizzas for the price of 1" thing anymore, but where I live (and I believe other places too), Little Caesar's will offer its large "Hot and Ready" pizzas for $5 each (before tax). Compared to chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's, who will stubbornly market their almost-always $10 large pizzas as "great deals", Little Caesar's may not be doing the 2 pizzas for 1 thing; but in essence it's the same ratio where I live. (It's just a '1 pizza for the price of half' kind of thing (they don't use that as a marketing campaign, though I think they really should do something along those lines--worded better, of course).) Little Caesar's is just as delicious as their profit-hungry competitors in my opinion. (I didn't bother answering your original question in a more direct manner--it looks like the link to your username is red, which indicates you aren't active.) 67.182.237.57 (talk) 04:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Zappa's question got me thinking of one of my own: Is there a neutral way of making brief mention of the $5 large L C's pizzas that compare quite drastically with well-known competitors like Pizza Hut and Domino's--chains that don't deviate often from roughly $10 large pizzas? For anyone that feels the urge to implement my suggestion, bear in mind that I am not familiar with competing pizza prices in many parts of the U.S.--Therefore, my $5 vs $10 observation may not be "near-universal". I've been to a Caesar's chain 350 miles away that does $5.95 for each Hot and Ready pizza instead of $5. And I should have noted in the previous post that where I'm at, the $5, and probably the "Hot and Ready" concept as well, only applies to pizzas that are cheese or pepperoni. As always, a trustworthy source would be very important if anyone echoes my thinking that Little Caesar's $5 larges are worth comparing to P. H. & Domino's. I don't know if this suggestion will go anywhere, but there it is if anyone is interested. 67.182.237.57 (talk) 04:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

How Fresh are the Hot-N-Ready Pizzas?

I've had both good and bad experiences picking up a Hot-N-Ready pizza from LC. Does anyone here have any clue as to how fresh the H-N-R pizzas tend to be? Do they discard them if they've been sitting in the warmer for X amount of time? It seems like it can be a crap shoot in terms of getting one that relatively fresh. zappafrank2112 (talk) 15:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality

The Corporate and International Growth sections are referencing 'facts' that are pulled from the corporation's website. It all reads like a corporate strategy meeting and not a wiki article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.154.42 (talk) 17:15, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
