Not only does their pizza suck, but that is possibly one of the dumbest commercials I've ever seen.

We're getting dumber folks, a lot dumber.

I kinda remember LC being pretty delicious when I was younger...like in the early 90's....didn't it used to be pretty awesome? I think streamlining really hurt them.

I agree. I think Little Caesar's used to be genuine competition to the other pizza chains, but now it just looks like a food bank line every time I go there. LOL

What?  Isn't the moon made of cheese?  Green cheese, but cheese nevertheless?  Probably happened when the cow jumped over it.  And isn't there a man in the moon who, presumably, can talk?
 
I dunno.  The way I see it, this commercial's actually educational---practically a documentary.

Dumb commercial, but you all are wrong about their pizza.
 
It certainlly isn't first rate, but it's at least as good & in some cases better, than any other pizza chain pizza.
 
And for 5 bucks (8 bucks for a 3 meat) you cannot beat it!!!!!

What time does LC close? Seems odd that they would be out stargazing (past 10pm I'm sure) and the kid is begging for pizza. Little late for dinner I think. Love the fact that the youtube comments consist of "they're using the telescope backwards".

The moon's lips don't match up with "pizza time" either, especially at the end. LC pizza and advertising took a complete nose dive. Their whole scheme is not great pizza, or even good pizza, just "quick pizza" and "cheap pizza". That is all they care about. Come in and get handed a pizza that was made at some point and kept warm for a fiver. How does such a market exist?

Every time I go to LC, which is rare these days, I wait for pizza anyway. I ask for a half and half so it's made fresh. Not that it makes much difference.

They could be out during the time of year when it gets dark early, so it could be like 7:30 - 8:00 pm. Not too late for pizza, but then again, it's NEVER too late for pizza!!!!
 
I think they stay open tioll 11 pm or midnight. Maybe later on weekends.
 
LC pizza is not bad, if all you eat is Pizza Hut, Dominos or Papa John's. All that stuff is equally as crappy as Little Caesars, & I would go as far as to say, LC is actually better than those other places!!!
 
But the YouTube comments are right about them looking thru the telescope backwards. I didn't notice that the first time I watched it.

I agree.  While it kills me to have to say it this way, I loved LC pizza when I was a kid...about 30 years ago.  it was my favorite.  They all closed & were out of the area for a long time, so when they started opening back up I was excited to try it again.  it was so disappointing.  I thought maybe my tastes had just changed but the pizza is definitely different.
 
These days I'm a huge Papa Murphy's fan.  They're not as cheap as they used to be, but a 16" for $13 or so with all fresh, high quality ingredients, is still a good deal in my opinion..

I'll bet it has more to do with being a kid.  Kids don't care much about the quality of food.  When they go to a buffet, they all get the "frozen dessert" stuff.  They don't think about whether it's real ice cream or not.  All they know is that it looks like ice cream, so it is ice cream.  Same with birthday cakes.  As long as it's got some over-the-top decorations on it, nothing else matters.  It could be two weeks old, but as long as SpongeBob or the entire cast of Dora's on top, all's good.
 
When my friends' son was about 6, the only thing that mattered to him was that he could get his own "individual" pizza in its own box.  And when my neighbors have a birthday party for their 7 and 11 year-olds, they get the cheapest crappiest pizza available (along with those buckets of cheap ice cream).  The kids go nuts over it.
 
In my opinion, this is one of the things that's great about kids.  LOL

Exactly. They had shut down the one in my area, and it was at least 15 years before I lived anywhere near one again...I thought it was just a case of my tastebuds getting older, but they have definitely dropped their quality. I wonder if they were bought out by a different company?

I also think they were called Grand Slam Pizza in some places, but I may be wrong.

I hate to sound picky, but I don't even bother with Papa John's, Pizza Hut or other box pizza places...finding a local pizza joint is imperative. Big smileBig smileBig smile

^  There's some Chef-Boy-R-Dee commercial out there, in which the father heats up a can of ravioli for his toddler.  I first thought "He can't boil up some actual ravioli and pour some sauce over it?"  Then I thought "The kid doesn't know the difference.  In fact, feed it to him right outta the can. 
What do kids know about ravioli?"

From 8 through 12 grade I could get pizza, spagetti, Spanish rice, PB&J, giant chocolate chip cookie, soft serve ice cream cone, or hamburger for $.20 each and cola, orange, lemon lime, or milk for $.10 at morning, lunch, or afternoon break. I could live off of those for much less than $20 per month now!

Still do, aamof.
 
I remember exactly what it tasted like & would LOVE to have a big ol' slab of it right now!!!! Tongue
 
Back in those days they made it themselves in the school kitchen. They used the same meat sauce they used on the spaghetti & mac-n-beef. Had yellow cheese on it & the crust had lots of flour on the bottom.
 
Just awesome stuff.
 
Nowadays, they just buy it at a discount bulk price from a local pizza chain & resell it at a profit.
 
Sucks.

I can't eat it right out of the can, I have to heat it up in the microwave.  But it's good, especially if you season it with a little Tony C.

Yes! They used to be the second best fast food pizza (second only to early-90's Pizza Hut, which has also gone down the drain in recent years) and now their pizza is just mediocre garbage like the others. It's a real shame.

Strapped for cash and short on time, and with my curiousity piqued by this thread, I decided to give LC the ol' college try and picked up a $5 pepperoni...


....it wasn't that bad...not as good as a local pizza joint by any means, but definitely far superior to any other chain pizzas I've had lately.

The sausage ravioli are OK.  A few times, I've rinsed off the Chef-Boy-R-Dee ketchup sauce, and poured some better sauce on them.

And kids love McDonald's and other fast-food places even though the quality of the food is usually not very good.  Most adults I know who eat fast food eat it because it's convenient and cheap, not because they think it tastes good.

I just now saw that "Mime" spot posted above and immediately came here to see if there was anything about it.  VERY, VERY disturbing.

The quality of Little Caesar's pizza has indeed gone downhill in recent years, whereas the quality of Domino's has improved.  Now they're about the same in terms of quality.  I'm also glad I'm not the only one who thinks Pizza Hut has also gone down the tubes.  Yet I still make it a point to get to Pizza Hut when I can because they're the only chain that offers stuffed crust pizza in my neck of the woods.  Whenever I order a stuffed-crust pizza though, the crust is just fine, but the rest of the pizza is thin, limp and barely has any cheese on it.  The cheesy breadsticks usually make up for it though.

Jet's isn't bad but overrated in my opinion.  I stay away from Hungry Howie's when I can, ever since I made the mistake of eating a HH deep-dish that apparently wasn't cooked enough, because I had terrible stomach cramps all night.  I haven't had Papa John's in a number of years, but I remember it being pretty good when I was in college.  Who needed breadsticks - every pizza came with garlic and marinara dipping sauces for you to dip the crust into!

My favorite chain pizza is Marco's, which is a local chain in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area.  Their thin-crust pizza is excellent. 

Lately though, I've been getting Boboli thin-crust whole-wheat pizza crusts from the store and making my own with shredded mozzarella, Prego spaghetti sauce and sliced ham.  It's better than most chain pizzas and also a hell of a lot cheaper.

The man I have been with for the last five years manages a Little Caesars store in our city, and he is 11 years my junior. So I was explaining to him the other day about how L.C when I was in high school used to have the whole Pizza Pizza thing going, with the still rectangle shaped pizzas not round, and they used to have pepperoni bread instead of crazy bread. I loved the pizza when I was younger, it WAS better. They have become more of a fast food type thing, fast cheaply made pizzas. But it IS alright for those who wish to feed a large family on a low budget. That IS who its demographic is after all. If you want a gourmet pizza, you will be paying 35 dollars. If you want something thats decent enough for five dollars nowdays it works. But it once was much much greater, and I told him about that. He grew up after it changed.

....um, pretty sure we understand that they're supposed to be "silly", problem is it's not, it's just downright stupid and uninspired. What's the point of advertising this way except giving a good chunk of the population the impression that you can't come up with anything better. Crappy advertising fits crappy pizza I guess.

I too fondly remember the "old" LC. There was one at the end of my street and I swear my family would get pizza from them once a week. It was good stuff.

Who knew an "edited" version of this commercial exists?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fZ-Q9IGKyY LOL

Little Caesars first came to my area via Kmart stores in the 80's or early 90's. It probably wasn't a good idea for Kmart to invest in cramming LC into what seemed like every Kmart on earth, even the smallest, oldest stores. Not surprisingly Kmart went bankrupt in 2002. Kmart had to pay a franchise fee for the rights to have LC in their stores, which was deemed an unnecessary expense upon the bankruptcy. Therefore, most "extras" at a lot of Kmart stores, not just LC but the snack bar, auto center, maybe even garden center or pharmacy were closed at stores that otherwise stayed open. Even some "Super" Kmart stores went to being "not so super" because their grocery sections were closed and walled off, sometimes replaced by completely unrelated businesses, not affiliated with Kmart.

I live in a Philadelphia suburb, and it seems that in recent years, both LC and Church's Chicken have sold franchises to the same people, because both LC and Church's, both of which previously entered but later exited our area, have made a return. The two are paired with each other in some locations, such as one in Norristown. Before, Church's Chicken was paired with White Castle, which left our area and never did return. I once lived in Houston (and a few other places in Texas) where Church's was paired with Wienerschnitzel (a California hot dog chain), as well as being paired with Fiesta supermarkets and many gas stations, most of which were Texaco, but with a few Exxon or Mobil stations as well. Many of them at gas stations also had another fast food chain with them, such as Pizza Inn, Baskin-Robbins, Taco Bell, Blimpie, etc. Ironically, as soon as Shell bought the Texaco stations in the area, the Church's at several of them closed, to be replaced by McDonald's. But around the same time, Texaco bought the Mobil stations in the area, and at one of them, Church's stayed put, and even while all the Mobil signage was replaced around it, the old Church's logo, which had changed years before, stayed the signage for this location. This is very odd because the facade under the Church's sign on the building had to be repainted red for Texaco.

Also, speaking of Houston, there was once a chain of Mexican restaurants known as Marcos there, but they went out of business sometime after I left town. Same with The Original Pasta Co, a chain of Italian restaurants owned by the same people. Both of these had outstanding food and service in the 80's when they were new, but definitely went downhill in the 90's, so it wasn't a huge surprise that they vanished. I doubt this Marcos was related to the Marcos pizzeria chain mentioned earlier in this thread.

Red Lobster has really gone downhill in recent years. Their coconut shrimp, what I ordered there several times when I didn't feel like studying the fish species and portions, went from being out of this world to being NASTY. I don't know exactly what was supposed to change, but these shrimp don't even look appetizing anymore. They once were HUGE shrimp, covered in a rich malty batter, but are now small shrimp with no fantails and fried in yucky breadcrumbs.

We ate quite a bit of LC pizza back in the 90s. The Pizza!Pizza! deal with two square pizzas in a single double-wide box was awesome. But like someont else posted, the LC near us closed down and I thought the company went belly-up until they opened a location here. Haven't tried it yet, so I don't know how it compares to the old LC pizza.

I've also eaten many cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli straight from the can, as well as the aforementioned ravioli sandwiches. Good stuff!

Domino's has a $7.99 deal for a large with unlimited toppings. While not great, it's better than any pizza you'll get from Little Caesars.

The best thing to do is make your own pizza. It's really cheap, and incredibly easy to do. You can make the dough a day in advance, and just buy the pizza sauce in a jar. Stretch the dough out, add sauce, cheese, and toppings. I made one last week for under $5 (already had the flour, yeast, and herbs), and it was a million times better than any chain I've tried.

I recently got myself a pizza stone. I've been nervous about trying it for the first time, but I guess I'll get on with it and see what I can make.

Just be careful not to eat Pringles with your Little Caesars pizza:


Looks like "pizza time" is over, moon man.

Nyuck nyuck.

If Pringles were the only thing that could exorcise the Pizza-Time moon, I'd have a survivalist's shed worth of them just in case of emergency.

Speaking of video edits on YouTube, check this one out:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG7Hdzr4QHU

The part from 1:06 to 1:11 (damn the stupid song for the first minute!) is comedic genius!LOL

To me, pizza has to come from a pizzeria.  The homemade stuff can be really good but it's not really pizza.  It's a replica of pizza.  To me, pizzeria pizza is the standard for what pizza is.

FINE! I'll just make an armageddon fortune selling homemade moon cheese pizzas!

*throws dough discs into yard like frisbees and waits for moon to explode*

I agree with Thor on one point, pizza from the pizza joint is its own crave-staver, but I make most of mine at home. Tonight's is ham with a pineapple salsa. Yum.

Well, if you think about it, even the pizzeria people have to have a method. And it certainly doesn't hurt one's pocketbook to work on improving their pizza recipes at home in case they don't have the money to shell out for a pizza place.

If you have a good oven and a pizza stone, you can make pizzeria quality pizza at home. You just need a good dough, sauce, and fresh ingredients. I've made better pizzas at home than I've had at John's Pizzeria in NYC, which is my favorite pizzeria.

How many would watch, if the "pizza time" moon exploded, as soon as somebody ate a Pringles chip?
