Ordered early in the day so it would be ready. Came to pick up pizzas and the reason they aren’t ready? «Oh, l forgot» that was your managers reason… ok, last time I order hear. Waiting 25 minutes now… 6 pizzas.

This at least my 10th visit and I’d have to say you’ll be waiting for pizza, despite the«hot-n-ready“marketing at least 8 of those times. Five buck pizza is cool for kids who don’t care but I waited 35 minutes for one cheese and one pepperoni pizza after they said it’d be 10 minutes. I just can’t go back. For cheap pizza, nothing beats Costco.

Their phone hasn’t been working for over a week. I went in and told them the last time I ordered from them. Just tried calling again a week later. No answer. Not even a ring. Seriously, how does a pizza place not have a working phone?

Very pleasant experience at Little Caesars. I slipped the maître d a $ 20 and said your best table my good man. Then he led me to a private table in the kitchen… they have nothing to hide there. I think that table is normally reserved for celebrities.

It is about what you’d expect out of a place who’s main draw is $ 5 large pizzas that are in a heat box. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve stopped here several times. Typically on nights where I don’t want to cook, don’t want to wait for delivery, and want some type of greasy goodness to join up with some beer. I feel like if you’re coming here, you’re not expecting gourmet pizza… And with that being said-the pizza. It is on par with most of the dive bar pizzas that I’ve had, the better school cafeteria pizzas, or a lower end frozen pizza. However, these are ready when you arrive. You don’t have to turn on your oven, you don’t have to do much work besides get there. I’ve had their regular hand tossed-ish pizza and tonight I’m trying the Pretzel Crust Pizza. Both styles hit the spot. The staff has always been friendly enough to me. I’ve yet to encounter anyone that is rude. However, nearly every visit for me is followed by a stop at the liquor store 2 doors down.

I ordered 15 pizzas for my brother’s birthday party, which had over 100 people at it. I show up to pick up the pizzas and they say that the order expired 30 minutes ago… What pizza expires in 30 minutes? When I go in to pick up an order I expect it to be ready when they say it will be, not expired if I happen to get stuck in traffic. Very disappointed.

This place sucks. The employees are always swearing and complaining about something or another, and they never have enough pizza ready. I’m waiting now on 2 cheese pizzas, they said it’d be 8 minutes, I’ve been here for 20 now. Pay a little extra and go somewhere else with better service and quality standards.

Lmao wow. This little caesars is ridiculous. They have nothing but rude ratchets working here. I think they have that«out of the hood» program, because the employees sure act like they came from the hood!

BOOOOOOOOOOOO So I have band practice in the 900 block of W. Lawrence on Sunday nights. I live in Forest Park so I take the Eisenhower to Lakeshore Drive to Lawrence then going home, I get right back on Lakeshore Drive to the Eisenhower. On this particular night, I really craved pizza. Not just any pizza, but a very specific type of pizza from a very specific place: I wanted Little Caesar’s stuffed crust. We were debating betwixt several different spots but the stuffed crust is what solidified LC’s as the place to go. After some phone research, I discovered there was one a bit further west down Lawrence. It would make our drive back home longer, but it’d be worth it because I’d have my stuffed crust. Well. Since stuffed crust is not a hot and ready, I had my husband call ahead to order a large cheese stuffed crust pizza. I was sitting right next to him in the car when he called. He’s a little flaky and normally I’d blame him for the mix-up that would ensue but I really did witness that phone call. So we pull up into the parking lot about 15 minutes later and husband goes in to pick up our pizza. He is in there for a suspiciously long time. I finally get out of the car and go in to see what he’s up to. Finally his name is called. I felt just a tad uneasy about the goings on so I hissed at husband to make sure it was a stuffed crust pizza. Surprise! It wasn’t. So husband says to the guy«It was supposed to be stuffed crust.» The fellow says«Oh, we don’t have stuffed crust at this location.» WHAT??? A very awkward silence followed. I’m sorry, the entire effing point of calling ahead was not to order a freaking hot and ready cheese pizza. Why didn’t they tell us on the phone when we ordered a stuffed crust pizza that they don’t have stuffed crust!!! We drove past a Pizza Hut on the way there! I would’ve gone to Pizza Hut instead! Their pizza sucks but at least I would’ve had what I wanted. Honestly, I tear the crust off and eat that, leaving the rest of the pizza for husband. Anyway, back to the scene. So husband, who is also somewhat bewildered by what is happening says that we called ahead and ordered one so the employee says«Oh.» And then adds very robotically, «Sorry for the inconvenience.» Inconvenience??? It’s not so much of an inconvenience as it is you let us order something that you don’t even have! An inconvenience would be having to wait a long time but at least we’d still have what we wanted. In this case, we had to settle for a different product altogether! We ended up taking the stupid cheese pizza anyway, because we were so hungry and just wanted to get home but man, I try to eat somewhat healthy and don’t allow myself to indulge in pizza that often if I can help it. When I do, it’s a treat. So there’s nothing more of a bummer than to get your hopes up to treat yourself to one of your greatest indulgences and then not get it and have to settle for something else. The whole thing is kind of funny and I’m being pretty tongue in cheek about this but the thing that most irks me is that they LETUSORDERSOMETHINGTHATTHEYDIDN’T HAVE! If they just would’ve told us that when we called there would be no problem. Don’t take an order that you can’t fulfill! That’s what pissed me off more than anything. That guy really couldn’t have given two sh! ts about what happened. It gets even better. I took my crust catastrophe to their corporate office and have yet to hear back from them. I’m being generous with my two star review, btw.

Quick and fast… was in and out… cashier was friendly and made sure I got fresh crazy bread. Storefront was clean, parking was easy to get into, and if you wanted to walk and eat there is a park right across the street. I dont think I have ever tried their pizza though…

Everytime I go to this location, it seems as though there are never any pizzas prepared. The staff is pretty rude most of the time. I guess you get what you pay for.

Good pizza for the price IFYOUCANGETIT. This place is on my way home from work and I try sometimes but its never hot or ready here. They either don’t have my pizza ready or they don’t come to the front to take my order. Today I stopped by and I could see the pizza but there were just people standing around and no one helping. Finally I left went to Wendy’s drive thru and got my food in 3 minutes, If you drive way over to the Addison Little Caeser’s you probably will get your pizza faster. The Addison has got it together.

when i ask you what the freshest pizza is i want you to give me the one your coworker is cutting just a few feet away. i can see her. don’t tell me, «they all just came out of the oven,» and then give me a pizza so decidedly not-fresh that i had to nuke it before eating. i know my lil’ caesars and that has never happened before.

For $ 5 you get: Medicore pizza at best «Hot-n-ready» which really means«pizza that has sitting there for hours under a warmer» Sometimes the wrong pizza completely Although I will give him props for nice customer service and their hit or miss crazy bread. They do have a private lot which is great and you are in and out in a matter of seconds.

Am I seriously writing a review for Little Caesars? Yes, yes I am. Dude… $ 5 for a pizza(sausage, pepperoni or cheese)? And it’s already ready and waiting for you to just walk in and pick up, no ordering necessary? It’s dangerous. It’s yummy. It’s an excuse for me not to cook dinner. I’m always looking for one of those.

Well, dip me in sugar and call me sweet-potato pie! I haven’t had Little Caesars in YEARS. Way over a DECADE. Was I thrilled to live near Little Caesars? Not until today. In the days of yore, I ate Little Caesar’s pizza several times a month. Not Domino’s, not Pizza Hut, Little freakin’ Caesar’s. Sadly, the only location near my home in VA closed. I ordered two cheese pizzas today for Football Sunday. Sometimes(particularly on Sundays), I just want to eat whatever the hell I wanted and not worry about the caloric intake. The $ 1.50 breadsticks were tempting too. Anyway, $ 5 for a large pizza? Hell to the YES! They had several flavors of dips from Jalepeno Cheese and Buffalo Ranch for the buffalo wings, but I used them for the crust(since I never manage to eat it). 2 for $ 1, pretty sweet deal. The pizza(16″, I believe) was actually decent. Like, better-than-Sbarro’s decent. It ain’t NYC style or California Pizza Kitchen quality(eh), but it’ll do. I had pizza that cost more than three times as much and tasted so much worse. Whether you’re a starving non-vegan artist, football party host, or just want cheap-as-hell carb fuel, get your ass over here.

So, I’ve never tasted this pizza. I was at the post office, starving & only had $ 5 in my wallet. Some dude with missing teeth suggested the crazy bread, so I crossed the street to check out the place. The crazy bread with marinara sauce was $ 2.50 and super tasty!!! By far the best recession meal out there. Big bag of Parmesan cheese covered breadsticks, a decent helping of dipping sauce & enough $$$ afterwards to buy another one if I really wanted.

I am not going to lie. It’s as good as I remember it being in 2nd grade. And it just might be the best cheap pizza money can buy. What did I just say? Sure, it’s not amazing, but it ain’t bad. It could hardly be cheaper. Crust and sauce are vegan. Toppings are limited, but they’re always fresh and never nasty, and the pizzas are *never* cut into squares! Breadsticks can be ordered without cheese topping for full veg carbification. Don’t believe me? Check the website. Ok, check the website anyway, ‘cos it’s loaded with nutritional info and availabilities for different delectables. Plus ordering a pie with 3 veggies and no cheese gets surprised comments from the guys in the store about how tasty it looks.
