Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty . . .
Food Review! And...
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, everyone watching. This is Running On Empty Food Review and I am your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
You know, it was one of those days one of those
one of those fascinating interesting days
where I was kind of perusing, and this is what I always do, right?
I was perusing through the the fast food news sites and, you know,
seeing what people are talking about - what new releases there are. And, you know,
sometimes there's things out there that really like they grab my attention, you know? If there's like this real big
publicized release that's making headlines and everyone just yet, forget about what else is going on in the world,
let's focus on this release. Of course, I'll just be all over that. And then you get those weeks where eh,
you know, there's not really anything that that captivates, you know, nothing that really draws me in. So I think, "Alright. Well ...
What what do I have on my mind?" Let's say there's no new releases out or nothing that I really want to pursue.
What should I do?
And I was thinking about Little Caesars. As a matter of fact,
I've been thinking about Little Caesars for the last few days and I thought to mysel,.
Why don't I go and
review one of their items?
Especially one of the things that I like? You know, really when I go to Little Caesars and this is what I get.
This is probably my favorite item from Little Caesars. And it was just a fascinating...
It just came to me - the extra most bestest pizza. Now
I can't believe that it's already been two years since they actually introduced it to the menu, but it has and
it's just one of those things that's like it's mind-blowing because I remember when I first reviewed it. I thought to myself,
Alright, this is just gonna be a gimmick.
It's just gonna be one of those things that it's gonna be there for two weeks and then it's done.
But it was actually a permanent addition
to their menu! And I think at the time during the original review that I did for it,
I didn't really know that and I thought it was gonna be one of these limited releases and not a permanent
staple at the Little Caesars menu. So two years later. I'm back. We are back. We got the
pizza portal
right there! And
within this this orange
mechanism is apparently an extra most bestest pizza and really what I'm gonna determine and I'm gonna do it with impartiality.
Yes, while this may be my favorite pizza from Little Caesars,
if this isn't the good pizza,
I'll be straight up and I say look this doesn't taste good! And if it still
meets or exceeds the aforementioned standards, I'll let you know about that, too!
So really we're just gonna see ... Alright.
How is it after two years? And we're gonna find out!
So first for this momentous occasion, I decided to break out the chalice here.
Doing a little preliminary sipping.
There we go! And let's see what we got. Now the price for this? $6
Six dollars, that's all that there is to it. So here's what it looks like. You can see it is a,
you know, a good sized pizza that still does have that pepperoni coverage that they really did emphasize
when they first were releasing it. I'm gonna I'm gonna hide behind the pizza
so all you see is is this you know?
You could pretend, if you want, that I like turned into a pizza. If you want to do that?
And there you can see. There there I am.
We got it. We got it. Yup, there I am. There's the, there's the pizza. I mean you can see though
what still impresses me, and I'll be I'll be quite honest,
what I see a lot of the time happening with, you know,
a lot of pizza places, fast food places, in general, and I think you know where I'm coming from when I say this, is
they bring out a release everything is going great at first and then it starts slipping, you know?
Then it starts going downhill a little bit and the quality kind of sinks.
And that's just what happens a lot of the time. And what I was, you know, kind of expecting when I realized,
you know, even few years ago when they first put this on the menu full time
I thought, "Well, it's good now."
"But is it gonna stay good?" And I'm actually surprised. I gotta say, the pepperoni coverage on this pizza,
like I said, I mean there is a very good amount of it for what it is.
I gotta give them credit on that that they're still maintaining that standard.
But let's be honest now. Something can look good, but does it taste good?
We're going to determine that right now. So this is a slice right there:
This
omniscient
triangle.
I highly doubt that it is but, you know?
If that's what you want to think of it as otherwise we can just call it a pizza slice.
You can see that pepperoni
glistening there in the unnatural light. And
there's me with it right? There I am.
And I'm just gonna try it.
I'll let you know what it tastes like so it is the extra most bestest pizza from Little Caesars. Still maintaining the standards?
Let's find out! It's going in!
(Did you say "going in" with him too? Yeah. I thought so. We're just the same: you and me.)
(Oh you thought I took the day off? Nope. I've been here the whole time.)
I'll take a few more bites.
(Well, it was nice catching up. I'll leave you to your Reviewbrah-viewing pleasure. Cheerio!)
And this is a used Little Caesars napkin
QSL card.
You can see that's Little Caesar there. Looks like he's haul hauling a few uh, I don't know, cement blocks or something.
You can wipe your mouth with this!
My thoughts?
Compared to what it was in
2017? I think they still are maintaining
those standards. It
definitely is a pretty full pizza, topping-wise. Where, if you like pepperoni pizza, and I myself, you know,
that's my favorite type of pizza. If I always, I'm always gonna get something with the pepperoni on it.
So, with that considered, there's really good topping distribution on this pizza.
The price is $6, which I mean, you can't beat!
Especially for like a large pizza with all that pepperoni on it. That's a good price and I have to give them credit on that!
Now for the pizza itself, you know, everything does blend together pretty well.
It's, like I said Little Caesars, it may not be gourmet
but it certainly is tasty. Where the cheese, the pepperoni and then that richness of the sauce
certainly blends in good. Now when I get my pizza, I always like to get it light on the sauce and then I always
get a little extra on the side if I wish to, you know, dip it in. But their tomato sauce is always very robust.
It's very rich, very
flavorful and it's just an overall good accompaniment to their pizza, if you ask me and.
The pepperoni does add that little bit of, you know, greasy saltiness to it as you would expect; though
not to the level as like what we witnessed with the pretzel crust pizza, you know, the salt is definitely manageable.
If there's one little criticism that I do have to make because, like I said, I'll be honest,
I'll be impartial - the pizza is a little on the chewy side.
And if there is a, you know, if there was a little less chewy, I would have been a bigger fan of it.
You know, this is still fresh. I mean I rushed.
I rushed and got this set up and got all that taken care of.
Pizza is just a little bit on the chewy side.
But other than that, I think it still tastes pretty good!
You know, again,
one recommendation try to get some of that marinara sauce on the side because even if the crust is dry
you can dip it in, you can kind of add that moisture that flavor to it.
If you find it lacking, they give you a good amount of sauce.
And I have to give them credit on that - that it's not any prepackaged stuff and then you get a good amount of it
too. I have to have to give credit where credit is due.
But yeah, it was just... I like that firmness in the pizza.
But there's this there has to be that good balance and it was just a little on the chewy side.
But, overall I mean for what you're getting, like I said - good pizza, tastes pretty good, good amount of toppings and
for $6. I still think you can't beat it.
And I think that they are maintaining the standards a lot of the time it just it goes downhill over the years.
But Little Caesars, they're still, they're still doing a good job with the extra most bestest pizza.
And I think I'm gonna keep getting them. So out of 10?
I'm gonna be giving this pizza an 8.8 out of 10.
Just, again, just because of that chewiness, you know? But otherwise, it's a good pizza and I got to give them credit for it.
So if you haven't tried it already? I suggest checking it out. And speaking of checking things out:
