\"Little<\/a>Friday evenings were “movie night” at the BurgerDogBoy household in Iowa, back in the day. \u00a0Me, Burgerdogdaughter, and her mother would congregate in the basement of our house, in front of my silly extravagance of a 72″ Sony, pop in a rented VHS, welcome our friends Barry, Maureen, and baby boy, who was the same age as our daughter, watch a flick and have some pizza.<\/p>\n

Generally, the pizza was from Little Caesars, which, at the time, was in serious growth mode and promoting their “Pizza! Pizza” concept, of two pizzas for the price of the competitor’s single, and packaged in an extra long box that accommodated both pies.<\/p>\n

Burgerdogdaughter is now creeping up on 30, and it’s been almost that long since I imbibed in a Little Caesar’s pizza. \u00a0The chain has had their ups and downs, since being started in 1959 \u00a0Detroit by husband and wife team Mike and Marian Ilitch. \u00a0Fortunes have mostly been on the upside, as the parent company Ilitch Enterprises<\/a>, owns, in addition to the pizza company, the Detroit Red Wings, the Detroit Tigers, a casino and a host of other businesses.<\/p>\n

The pizza outfit has kept evolving, and based on a special limited time offer five years ago, of having a single topping pizza “hot and ready” all the time, for five bucks, has made that the cornerstone of their business these days. \u00a0Any hour of the day, you can walk in and get a large pepperoni for a fin, on the spot. \u00a0At some locations, they offer other choices, as well, and at some locations, they have a relatively new offering, the one I tried, a two-fer double deep dish pepperoni for $8.<\/p>\n

The pies are square, and cut in such a manner that every piece is an edge. \u00a0Apparently people like that in pizzas as well as brownies.<\/p>\n

How’s the pie? \u00a0It’s ok, and a good value at $8. \u00a0Better tasting, to my palate, that similarly priced products from national chains. \u00a0It’s a lot of bread, this crust, which usually I don’t care for, but this was passable for me. \u00a0The “all edge” concept produces some crispy crusts, which is graced with a buttery flavor. \u00a0The sauce is slightly sweet, cheese is adequate, pepperoni is flavorful.<\/p>\n

Would I buy it again? \u00a0It’s a good ‘road-trip’ or picnic pizza, comforting to know you can grab something like this to go. \u00a0Of course you can still order a custom-built pie at Little Caesar’s by calling in (no online ordering). \u00a0These also offer oven baked wings with a variety of dipping sauces, and cheese bread. \u00a0Pepsi products are on hand.<\/p>\n

A locator <\/a>is on their website.<\/p>\n
