Little Caesars' Hot-N-Ready deal can be a lifesaver for those days when there's just
not enough hours for a busy family to get everything done, and hey, the kids always
like pizza, right?
"You're holding for pizza!"
"You're wasting your life!"
"Yes, wasting your life!"
"Let's go to Little Caesar's and grab a hot-n-ready pizza."
"Don't listen to your wife!"
Unfortunately, if you're tired of pizza, it turns out that Little Caesars' other options
may not be the best choice.
Because according to the internet, if there's one thing you definitely shouldn't order at
Little Caesar's, it's their famous Crazy Bread.
"Crazy bread!"
In fact, one former Little Caesars manager took to Reddit to warn customers not only
about the Crazy Bread, but the Jalapeno Bread and the Italian Bread, too.
The problem was with the toppings that get smeared on the bread when it comes out of
the oven, which they describe as something that,
"[...] is NOT butter, it's some nasty imitation that comes in a huge bottle and does not need
to be refrigerated."
Another Little Caesars manager chimed in to say that while there was nothing technically
wrong with the imitation butter spread, it was "extremely unhealthy."
Exactly what this non-butter material is made of is unclear, but one Reddit expert also
noted that even without that weird topping, the bread may not be healthy due to how the
ovens are set up.
Crazy Bread cooked in the back or bottom belt of the oven could be overcooked, as those
areas run hotter, while bread baked in other parts of the oven could be undercooked.
In fact, many other Reddit baking experts weighed in to agree that they frequently thought
their Crazy bread was underdone.
And to top it all off, you could make the same thing at home just as easily, according
to a Reddit expert, since the bread is actually the same dough as the pizza crusts anyway,
only
"[...] basted in a load of garlic butter and pounded with Parmesan."
So if buying the Crazy bread is basically just throwing your money away, what's a hungry
person to do?
Well, there's always Little Caesars signature… chicken wings.
Wait, chicken wings?
"What the f--- does that have to do with pizza?"
"I don't know.
Anyway…"
Okay, so it's true that chicken wings usually go pretty well with pizza.
But according to more disgruntled former employees now posting anonymously on Reddit, you might
want to skip the wings, too.
One Redditor claimed to have worked at Little Caesars when they first added chicken wings
to the menu, and the experience they describe is anything but appetizing.
"They literally cook them in the same pan as our deep dish pizza for the same amount
of time as the pizza, which is usually undercooked as well.
First time I ever had raw chicken."
Yikes!
Raw chicken is no joke, and according to Mother Jones, the potential for getting sick from
chicken that has been broken down, like those chicken wings, is much higher than it is from
whole chickens.
In 2018, 35 percent of chicken-producing facilities failed to meet Food Safety and Inspection
Service guidelines for salmonella-free chicken, so it's still a big deal.
And if that's not enough to dissuade you, a former Little Caesars manager also warns
about the wings for another reason.
"Hot-N-Ready's and chicken wings have been known to sit in the warmer for hours at a
time until sold."
While you don't expect a Hot-N-Ready pizza to be made to order (you can't have the best
of both the ready-on-demand and freshly-made worlds) pizza that's been sitting a bit isn't
necessarily a bad thing.
You're probably going to heat it up once you get it home anyway, and then again the next
morning for breakfast.
And anyway, there's no such thing as bad pizza, right?
"Mm, the usual!
"No!
No!"
"Ahh, my favorite!"
"No, c'mon!"
Okay, so maybe there is such a thing as bad pizza.
Regardless, wings are one of those things that are so much better fresh.
And if you're going to get them, you might as well get good ones, right?
"I'll go turn the fryers back on and throw some wings in for you."
"Hey, thanks Helen!
Tommy likey!
Tommy want wingy!"
And here's one final cautionary tale from an alleged former Little Caesars employee
who took to Reddit to warn the unsuspecting masses.
If you're tempted to order banana peppers, don't.
Why?
"They just sit under the make-table in the grimy corner and fester until somebody has
the misfortune of ordering them."
So remember the golden rule: if you're going to eat at a pizza place, order the pizza.
Otherwise, you're just asking for trouble.
"No calling?
No waiting?
There's no rules!!"
"Put your shirt back on!"
"There's one rule!"
