hello everyone this is running on empty Food review well hello ladies gentlemen
and everyone watching welcome one and all to this newest edition of The Running on
Empty Food review series I'm your host the report of the week thanks for checking in
a pizza review today yes indeed the uh in my case anyway the long-awaited pizza review I feel
that when it comes down to the world of fast food at least the the main chains the popular
highly frequented establishments there haven't been too many new pizza related releases as
of late and I will say me personally the Pizza reviews are my favorite to do now whether this
item is good or not obviously we haven't any sort of idea yet we're gonna find out
trying out an item from Little Caesars today this is titled the old world fanceroni Pizza
the old world right
it's got a hundred slices all right I kind of that was a really bad joke here's the big the
big catch about it you have these different types of pepperoni and I've seen other names for this
but there's that type of pepperoni it's very small circular and the edges of it will usually
curl and it will become crispy and they call that old world pepperoni and this pizza they say has
not 10 not 15 not 50 100 slices of Old World pepperoni they say it is covered to the crust
with the old world pepperoni so much so because you think what do you call the pizza
that has what you would almost consider to be a pepperoni overload
pizza with extra pepperoni absolutely not you call it a fanceroni pizza an Old World
fanceroni Pizza it's available at the price of ten dollars again from Little Caesars so
the big appeal 100 slices of this old world pepperoni stretching to the crust
and that's the big selling Point again for ten dollars it's a hand tossed Pizza
I do want to mention though and I don't know how folks will prioritize it but I I do think
that this is information that you need to know this is a pizza that contains 3 000 calories so
that's just something to get out there here's the Box pretty standard I will say though you can see
the grease soaking through the bottom of the box and let's open it up and take a look at the pizza
so there it is and this is what I mean about how the pepperoni curls at the edges and gets crispy
so there I am with it and a very pepperoni filled pizza now if someone actually has the time and
they want to count all the pepperonis you're welcome to I'm afraid I don't this time around
but I would wager at the very least it has a lot of pepperoni on it so it's a very very pepperoni
filled Pizza say this it looks pretty good though might it be even a little overboard perhaps
let's get a slice that's all try to get this slice how does it cut let's see
now it's actually cut pretty straight forward that's good and here's a close-up view of it
again the the rhonies very greasy Pizza 3000 calories
lots of pepperoni it's like a it's like a tentacle like an octopus right
but there's no octopus on this these are just old world pepperonis
so you know what's on it I know what's on it we all know what's on it we all know what
there is to it let's try it out the Old World fanceroni Pizza from Little Caesar is going in
I just paused the camera just for the sake of time consolidation so I'm just making my
way through this slice here's a little uh cross section as I reach the crust
again pretty hand tossed and you could see that's what it looks like there's the crust
so I'm just going to take a bite out of the crust and then we'll get into the review itself
one thing that I want to mention real quick before I forget I know that a lot of people kind of watch
these videos some just watch it run off just for a certain item other people maybe tune in regularly
last video I did was for RBS it was it was for those uh fish strips
I regret doing that review I really do those are horrible
um they taste it all right they they were they were average but some people commented
and and they were right now that there was something wrong with that fish and uh
you know I felt it for a few days it made me it made me sick there was a it wasn't cleaned
properly or something but that was it was literal poison I mean it was literal poison
that's what you get sometimes
this on the other hand I'm not getting any sort of poison vibes from that's the
good thing yeah Little Caesars I know when it comes down to how pizzas can be sometimes uh
Little Caesars that get regarded quite a bit is like the economy pizza place
you go there for something that's really you know it could be really high calories
um but for for what you're getting for what you're paying you get a decent sized pizza and
a good amount of food for the price but it's essentially one of those things it's like ah
you get what you pay for it sometimes this I'm happy to say for the most part is good
for the most part all right the main selling point is obviously the pepperoni now first
let's just run through the rest of the pizza this is a hand tossed Pizza has a little bit
of substance to it as you could see in that cross section it's not necessarily a thin
and crispy crust pizza however it's not a doughy deep dish pizza but it does have a little bit of
firmness to it again a little bit of substance it can be a little Chewy from one bite to the
next but by no means is it overwhelming at all that's fine completely the crust does have a
little bit of a crisp to it but it's not what I would Define as a very hard crunchy crust it
just has a little bit of a bake to it so that also needs to be emphasized the cheese totally
fine a little on the greasy side but I think a lot of that also has to do with the pepperoni
and the sauce is as robust as ever always a good addition to the pizza now here's the one
thing and I mentioned the sauce last because it's going to be tied into this analysis here
the old world pepperoni and here's a loose piece of it that I could kind of
I could show you you could get a good look at it right there all right that's what it
looks like again it's kind of cupped it's like what you'd see on an octopus
and it curls at the edges and has that little bit of a little bit of a crisp to it
I've always enjoyed the old world pepperoni when Pizza Hut did the Detroit style
Pizza that had that old world pepperoni on it as well I'm not in Focus you could
blame the old world pepperoni I guess and I enjoyed it I like that crisp
that it offers what I've noticed is the old world pepperoni though maybe it's just I'm
it's just the way that it is I suppose always is a bit a bit saltier I notice it seems like it's a
saltier variety of pepperoni sometimes it can be a bit more spicy there's always going to be that
degree of saltiness but these just seem a little saltier than average I like that crisp but here's
the only thing some people I think will find this pizza to be too much of a good thing per se
I like the old world pepperoni but as I was biting into this it gets Relentless to a point where okay
I could say this tastes good I'm enjoying it but you get it's greasy it's oily it's salty
and you get more of that and more of that and more of that bite after bite after bite
and I think you could tell by the cross section this is not a pizza that's very heavy on the sauce
I think a solution to this because as I said as I was eating this it's enjoyable
it's pretty good but the only problem is like I said it's getting to be too much of a good thing
so the pepperoni just gets excessive after a little while and I know you've had those items
before where you're really sitting there you're eating you think yeah this is just a bit much
right you have the first few bites it's like yeah this is great but then you get that next bike that
next bite and it gets overwhelming and that's a type of situation you find yourself in here
there's an easy solution though their sauce is very robust it's a very robust bold tomato sauce
and this pizza itself is a bit light on the sauce so you don't really see
it getting canceled out here's what I would recommend and I think this
would solve this sort of overwhelming uh problem with the pepperoni and all of that
when you get this pizza you don't even need to get it heavy on the sauce if that's you know
maybe you don't want to do that but I would get this with a cup of the marinara dipping sauce
on the side I've had that marinara sauce before it's pretty much just like what you get on the
pizza very bold very flavorful and I guarantee if you get it with that marinara sauce you have the
cup there and you just dip it in the sauce which I think this is a pretty good pizza for dipping
uh that will be a good addition it will accompany it nicely and I have a feeling that
that sauce will negate any of this overwhelming greasy or saltiness from all of the pepperoni
but by and large I would rather sit here and as my criticism say that maybe it has too much of
something especially pepperoni in this case as opposed to sitting here saying uh you're paying
10 bucks and you're only getting 10 pieces of pepperoni and there's barely anything on this
etc etc because that's the way a lot of stuff goes at this point you get less and less and
less and the quality just goes down the tubes so it's actually nice in a sense after everything
that I've been seeing to be able to say maybe it's actually got a little too much of a good
thing and for 10 bucks you're getting a decent sized pizza and my goodness I'll say this you're
getting your money's worth in terms of the toppings could just be a little overwhelming
get that marinara sauce on the side and I think you'll be set good deal price wise pretty good
pizza that one criticism I have but otherwise it's pretty solid and even that criticism is
relatively minor because I see the solution being very easy and very practical to fix so that said
out of 10 I'm going to be giving the Old World fanceroni Pizza from Little Caesars a 7.2 out
of 10. pretty good all things considered ah yeah an enjoyable Little Caesar's item that's all that
I have for you thank you for watching and until next time I'm your host the report of the week
