In case you haven’t noticed, pizza is my favorite food group. Really, I could eat it every day. So, I was really excited to hear that Pizza!Pizza! is back in Detroit.
Little Caesars has announced that not only is Pizza!Pizza! back but it’s also Hot-N-Ready. Pizza!Pizza! Pantastic is a new style pizza from Little Caesars consisting of two rectangular pizzas, one pepperoni and one Ultimate Supreme, for $9.99.
The new promotion is being tested in the metro Detroit market until the end of year. If it is well received, they expect to extend it and roll it out in other markets.
I had the opportunity to try the new creation a few days ago and it’s quite yummy. I have to talk about the crust! It’s thicker than their original round yet thinner than their deep dish. The crust is brushed with olive oil to give it a different flavor profile. It’s light and airy.
Pizza!Pizza! Pantastic is geared towards families, with the kids getting the pepperoni and the parents indulging in the Ultimate Supreme.
But you know what? This is going to make dinner in my house much easier too. You see, I always want the pepperoni and the husband wants the Ultimate Supreme so we would have to compromise. Not any more!
Little Caesars and its founder, Mike Ilitch are an institution in Detroit. Ilitch founded Little Caesars in 1959 and now owns the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Tigers. Are the Pistons next? No one at the press conference would answer that question.
I have been a fan of both the pizza and the man for years. I have a history with Little Caesars; I worked there in high school. In fact, I didn’t work at just any Little Caesars; I worked at the closest one to where Mike Ilitch lived at the time.
I remember the phones ringing off the hook and people lined up out the door, waiting to pick up their pizza. Hot-N-Ready changed all that. I also remember the Ilitches stopping by to pick up pizza for their family.
So, I’m pretty excited to add this new pizza into our dinner rotation. Do you know what you’re having for dinner? Pizza!Pizza! Pantastic is available as of today.
