hello everyone this is running on empty
food review well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching welcome one and all this is
running on empty food review i'm your host the report of the week here i am outside once again
now you know it's a it's like a temporary day i would say enough for a you know a full suit
i'd say i'm pretty comfortable and uh i want to get right into things because this is gonna be
i don't know it's going to be kind of a unique review because i want to try out this item
but this is also going to be like a little bit of a story time because boy do i have an experience
to uh to share with all of you so first and foremost let's just get into business right now
uh today i'm going to be trying out the extra most bestest thin crust pizza now i might have tried
this out a couple years ago maybe two or three years ago at this point and little caesars now has
really been promoting this i think those are some blue jays in the background maybe they're excited
maybe they're not blue jays i don't know what they are but they've been promoting this a new
deal where you can get the extra most bestest thin crust pizza for the price of 6.49 likewise uh you
can get it as a meal deal for 10.99 uh with a two liter soda some crazy bread and some crazy sauce
now this pizza features obviously a very thin crust you know like thin and crispy they try to
brand it as it comes with mozzarella mustard cheese extra pepperoni and it's just supposed
to be you know like a thin and crispy um pizza again at this decent um meal deal as they say
so that's what it comes down to that's the item and really what i want to try to do is i haven't
had this pizza in years usually i just go with the regular extra most bestest pizza or sometimes
the deep deep dish one but you know every now and then i check back on these items i want to see if
they're either maintaining the standards if it's any better or any worse how things have changed
because we know over the years with a lot of establishments sometimes the recipe the
methodology whatever it might be can fluctuate so obviously with this pizza
being in the limelight again we'll find out how it is at this point so
that's what it is i'll give you a quick look at the pizza before i get into uh my story
there's the box uh still promoting their delivery and again i was keeping an eye out this time as
it arrived and that humanoid thing actually did ride up on the moped this time around it was uh
it was a sight to see all right you can see here's what it looks like um i think as i remember it
right there you can see you know a good amount of pepperoni glistening and uh definitely a
thin and crispy pizza but again that's just the close-up shot of it if you're interested
and uh you know i think it looks as advertised and of course when i break it out to eat it in
a couple minutes you know you'll uh you'll see for yourself just the cross section
so that's just the basic intro for the review now here comes uh an experience
that for a little bit i was even contemplating should i even share it in a review or not but
i thought you know this is one of the only occasions that i'll probably ever have to do this
and it certainly is topical as you'll find out so it it was it was a crazy thing but
let's just get into it some of you watching may have taken note of this uh necktie that
you know i'm wearing obviously a pizza themed tie in the uh you know little caesars
colors so to speak i'll even focus in and you can see full pizzas on it
orange in color similar orange to this box right now maybe you're starting to add things up and
you're thinking is this a little caesar's tie well indeed it is but it's not really the tie
itself that i want to discuss too much but it's the means upon which uh i obtained this
tie because easily and you know i have a lot of neckties this is it's the strangest one yet i have
to say so let's go back like a couple weeks ago i received word that i get this mysterious package
um delivered now i i had no idea what it was i wasn't really ordering anything i didn't
expect anything this box just shows up and you know i hear some things rattling around in it etc
so once i figure out who it was sent from and what exactly this was i kind of felt comfortable
you know kind of investigating it a little further opening the package and uh seeing
what exactly was sent to me just out of the blue like this i open it up and the first thing that
was at the top of it was this letter and i still saved it you can see it right there
and just let it speak for itself but this is what it said from little caesars
i think it was a form of like viral marketing
so to speak and you know i guess they wanted like an unboxing
sort of video done so i start digging through it and i find this safe a safe of all things
inside this box and now one thing that you have to know about different types of safes
is that some of them are battery operated some of them have an electronic lock etc
i tried to you know just punch numbers into the keypad on the lock but nothing was working
i was hearing some rattling around inside well as it turns out the safe wasn't functional
at all because the double a batteries that powered the door all fell out in transit
and again you can see these are the these are the famed batteries that were there
as a result they must have fallen out of the back of the door to the safe rendering it
effectively useless so no matter what i could press in any numbers on the keypad with there
being no electricity no way to just undo the lock by entering in a code or a combination
i kind of felt like i was dead in the water so i had to open up the safe by more inventive means
what i did first is i cut this hole in the back of the safe so i can kind of look and see what was
inside of it there i am and this is the safe you can see i just sliced that thing open
and there's the front of it and once i was able to discern that there was a
small box inside then i decided all right let's just try to open this
so there's the door of the safe which i ripped off of its hinges you can see on the back there
that's where those batteries fell out and um it's still locked i mean you could still see
you know i you know can punch in whatever numbers i want to but it doesn't really matter
but it's all all busted open and you can see first i pried the door up i really gave
the i manhandled the thing but eventually after i ripped that door off of its hinges
i decided to open up that little box and what was inside the box this necktie and nothing more
so after all of that work we got ourselves a tie and a story to tell i suppose so that's
what it is i thought to myself well you know i didn't do the video about the safe itself
because it's just you know i thought though well next time i review little seizures i'll put the
tie on and share a little story about that so that's what we have um as it turns out this was
supposed to be for the pretzel crust pizza which isn't on the menu anymore and these are supposed
to be pretzel crust pizzas on the uh on the tie so that's where you know that leaves us to today
uh what i tried to do before i you know tried to get the pizza because money's a little tight at
this time of year i actually called up little caesars and i i offered to just do a trade you
know i'll give them this tie give the manager the tie in exchange for the pizza but they actually
said they'd call the cops if i didn't stop they said they only want george washington's here
so uh you know evidently i forked over the 6.49 for the pizza and uh i i kept the tie either way
yeah that's that's what we've got though it's just i wanted to share that because
who would believe it a a safe with a tie inside of it so there you go
all right that's the story story time with review brah
let's get into the review now yeah the little caesar's necktie who would have thought right
certainly a story to tell right there's the pizza you can see thin crust as ever
a little bit of a bake on the bottom glistening grease pepperoni
so there you have it i think i've been talking enough so let's just get right into the eating
and let's try it out the extra most bestest thin crust pizza going in
for those of you wondering no my despite all of this my view of little caesars hasn't
changed or soured in any way shape or form i just think hey
it's an amusing experience and it gives a story to tell right in the title where but there you go
no no bad blood because of it it's just i thought it was kind of strange and uh i don't know people
wouldn't believe this unless i actually dragged the broken safe over here and showed it it's crazy
hmm
and hey i got some batteries out of it too so there you go i needed some double lace actually so
there's that pizza itself isn't bad um now i'm not normally like a super thin and crispy
uh crust type of pizza person you know like i was just saying i like the deep dish stuff
but for what it is all thing is considered i like it now you always have to understand that the base
of this pizza is a little light you know a little i'd say it's flaky yeah there's some crisp to it
and i imagine that you know your mileage may vary uh in that it may be crispier in some instances
than others but definitely around that crust you know you have that firmness and that crunch to it
but again overall a thin and crispy flaky pizza i really like the topping distribution this time
around um no they say there's extra cheese on it i could definitely tell but it's not like
an overly cheesy pizza although i would be willing to wager that actually the extra pepperoni kind of
balances it all out so it doesn't feel like you're getting too much cheese or too much pepperoni
everything just works out nicely thing that i always like and this goes for any establishment
very good pepperoni distribution you can pretty much see that every bite that i was taking you
have a piece of pepperoni there pretty much not all the time but you know more often than not you
got that pepperoni there it's flavorful a little bit of spice to it you know with the pepperoni
a little bit of saltiness but overall i think it's just a nice a nice you know thin and
crispy pepperoni pizza the one thing that i like this time around also is the sauce distribution
now a lot of the time i get my pizzas light on the sauce of course this time around i didn't but i
feel like there's just the right amount of sauce here that i think i know i would be content with
but i think given how robust the sauce itself is um i think a lot of other faults would be
satisfied with it as well bite in get this ripe robust very flavorful tomato sauce but i think
it just works wonders in terms of cutting through say the greasiness of the cheese the pepperoni a
little bit of the salt and oiliness of it all that just ties it all together if it weren't for that
it went for that sauce i could definitely see it getting like a little bit too much
you know of certain flavors and characteristics so that sauce is a is a godsend so to speak and
uh it's really i think what makes this pizza instead of just being something that might
be meh you know and and iffy with even a few minor criticisms and again in terms of that
um it definitely takes it to that next level and says hey this is actually a pretty good pizza
pretty good value if i was definitely craving like a thin and crispy crust pizza from you
know little caesars or just any place at a good value i'd get it again i would again i like the
pepperoni distribution all of that um it's pretty simple but good i think that's what's important
good value and a decent pizza too so there four out of ten i'm going to give this pizza
an 8.2 out of 10. you know again above average definitely might not be the best of the best
but all things considered um pretty good i would say so with that that's all that we have for you
tried out the uh extra most bestest thin crust pizza again i think it's still maintaining the
standards after all these years so if you want a crispy thin pizza at a good price you know
considering little caesars if that's you have in mind all right that's all that i have for you
ladies and gentlemen today's review again was for that little caesars pizza with some bonus
story time and um now i think i'll be able to give this safe a proper burial and put a spirit to rest
and this tile go into the closet where it can hang out with all of its other tie companions all
right that's all that i have for you thank you for watching i wish you all the very best to take care
