So you remember the good old days, right?
Yeah, I do too.
I remember once many years ago
I used to wear tie clips, you know.
Hold the tie in place and one day, I got a tie clip
I had a little collection of them. Not too huge, not too small, but a couple of them.
And this one, it just wasn't the most expensive tie clip so inevitably it broke..
And I happened to be out and about so I couldn't just get a replacement one.
I was distraught and I remember I didn't know what to do.
And I remember setting my eyes upon a box of Little Caesar's Pizza.
Took a slice, put it right on.
Worked like a miracle.
With that masterful lead-in and beautiful sound of the wind chimes,
I want to introduce...
the sign.
Today's video, I'm gonna be talking about Little Caesar's pizza.
Pizza place, not to confuse them with any other Little Caesar's.
Little Caesar's pizza...
and...
well, just my general thoughts on them.
This is the best pose for the camera.
Little Caesar's, I like to call it America's favorite economy fast food pizza place.
That's it. They really are. Little Caesar's.
Is there another place you can go to...
that you can get a pizza at, at the price that they deliver?
Actually yeah, there are a ton of places, but forget about that.
The videos about Little Caesar's and
just some general thoughts on it.
Now Little Caesar's is a pizza place. Admittedly it is not my favorite pizza chain by any means.
As a matter of fact, all my favourite pizza places are mom-and-pop shops. They're local establishments.
I just feel that the local places can add kind of more, more care
and you know, more love and maybe some better freshness and etcetera to their pizzas.
Than you know the major chains do, but let's face it.
You know sometimes those local places can cost more
and we don't have the time to sit down and eat there whatever it is
and we go to the fast-food pizza place.
Little Caesar's to me, it's about variability. That is my true thought on the company.
Variability, it is a place where it has some good things
and some bad things and at the price that they serve that you end up saying usually one of two things:
"Wow that's a steal" or you say:
"Well, what did I expect?"
That's usually the way it goes with Little Caesar's.
You're either blown away with the food for the price that you pay for
or you're kind of, you're not even surprised. You think, "Yeah. I paid this for wings. I mean what did I expect?"
You know. You get, you get what you paid for.
I remember with Little Caesar's the first time I really considered myself
a full true consumer of Little Caesar's was around 2015 or so.
So when I was in New York,
I just didn't really have access to Little Caesar's of all things.
There weren't a lot around
and i just didn't have the chance to be able to go there frequently and and dine there.
I've been starting in 2015.
Gosh, three years ago now I became a more frequent
consumer of Little Caesar's and all their wares
Although when I was young, a few times when I was traveling about,
I did have the chance to go to Little Caesar's.
I think there has been a bit of a drop in quality in terms of their, their products.
For a while they were just consistently good
based on my own recollections and also second-hand accounts.
But nowadays, again, it's hit or miss.
One thing especially, I suppose, with Little Caesar's that I remember is their pan pizza.
It's actually the deep-dish pizza. They called it DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP dish pizza
because it's a "so-deep" dish pizza.
That's a pizza for me that kind of sums up the whole place.
In every aspects,
where a pizza,
you're not paying the most for it. It's not something that's gonna break the bank.
It's not a $15 pizza.
It's not a $20 pizza, not even a $10 pizza. It's just an inexpensive item.
And i remember that used to be, for the longest time, my favorite item from Little Caesars.
Some days I would get the pizza, and it would be delicious.
I mean I'd be thinking, "I did awesome. This is great, this is great, great, cheap eats."
And other days I'd get it and I'd be thinking:
"Boy am I disappointed in this one today."
That's Little Caesar's.
You know, when it comes down to their food, I have my favorites, and I have some things that I think are awful.
Their wings...
That's something that...
I can't say anything about in good regards.
I can't. I think their wings are disgusting.
Terrible. Awful.
Their breadsticks, or actually the crazy bread I think they call them, are good,
but especially best when they're served fresh
and they get a little bit of that extra garlic parmesan on them.
But there's been one redeeming item from Little Caesar's
that kind of keeps me coming back and keeps me going there.
And you know, otherwise, as I said, before this it was the deep-dish pizza and even that had its ups and downs,
its variability and days where I was thinking, "I don't want to take the risk."
And that's their Extra Most Bestest Pizza.
That pizza, I tell you, ever since they introduced it, and they've had it for about a year now,
that pizza has kept me coming back, and I'm surprised. I'm surprised honestly.
I'm surprised, honestly, it hasn't degregated [sic] in quality because most pizzas,
you know, they're great when you bring it out first
and then it kind of goes down and down and then it plateaus for a bit.
But their Extra Most Bestest Pizza, for the value, for what it is
You know, you're not going to expect the best pizza in the world flavor-wise,
but for what it is, I'm pretty impressed, truth be told.
That's one pizza that's kind of kept me coming back. You know, Little Caesar's, they're a value pizza place,
some of their items are hits
misses and everything in between, but I feel the Extra Most Bestest Pizza that they did really is great and
and. hey, we're talking about food.
I thought I'd just show you some. So follow me if you will and let me show you some items from Little Caesar's.
Yeah, doing the consumption sequence today.
I know my face looks red, and it's a very,
very very hot sunny day today. Mid 90s and the almost cloudless skies, so I need an umbrella and
the umbrella with the Sun directly overhead is red so my face looks even redder.
But you know we're past the point of no return here. We're just gonna go with it.
You know, say what you will. If you just want to exaggerate it and say it makes my face look all
like with the red cheeks like an anime character then just go all the way. I don't care. Just go for it.
But nonetheless,
here we are. Some selections from Little Caesar's.
I know you all want me to say the intro so I will, even though this isn't a food review i'll say it for you.
Hello, everyone. This is Running on Empty Food Review. Now, anyway, back on to what what we have here
I got two products for you. Their Extra Most Bestest Pizza, and their Crazy Bread.
I wasn't exaggerating when I said
this is an economy pizza place and what you get is what you pay for.
You're either gonna be blown away or not. Because I got all this, this large pie and
the Crazy Bread and the sauce for six dollars.
That's unbelievable. I tell you, I go to Starbucks to get my coffee and
sometimes even just a drink costs more than this whole meal. If you talk about economy pizza, man,
the value is good no matter what you're getting, pretty much. Here it is. An Extra Most Bestest Pizza still going.
Still, you know, good amount of pepperoni on it.
I'm actually gonna go with this slice here, and we just see how it tastes.
And let me hold it up better for you, so you could hopefully see it.
There it is. There's me with it.
Giving a stupid look to the camera.
But there you go, you can see that is hopefully
identifiable as pepperoni.
Not just pepper or roni,
or ham but pepperoni. I know, this morning I was thinking it was ham for a second.
There's a slice. You know, greasy, greasy pizza, you know. Lots of oils and pepperoni, but anyway just gonna try it, see how it is.
It was just my meal for the day today.
Ah man, this stuff hits the spot, I'll tell you.
I'm honestly hungry.
It honestly, it satisfies a hunger, I'll tell you that.
There's this plant over there.
It's a blustery, you know, windy day.
Plant keeps moving around, and in my peripheral vision, keeps catching my eye.
I keep thinking, "Is someone coming over here?"
But no, it's just a plant.
(I've got my eyes on you)
Anyway, pizza itself, it didn't disappoint. One of those times again, where for the price, you know, it's awesome.
Again, it's not the best quality pizza in the world, but if you're hungry, you don't have that much money,
Or you just want to save a little bit,
Extra Most Bestest, you can't go wrong. I mean the pepperoni is plentiful.
It's more of a saltier type of pepperoni.
It's a little bit of a salty type of pizza.
But the richness of the sauce kinda counteracts that, just makes it into a good pretty tasty pizza overall that,
really, at least the standards that I set for Little Caesar's, it meets and maintains the standards.
So with that said, you know again, this isn't a full review. Just me kind of eating lunch.
And I'm satisfied, I'll tell you that. They just did a good job overall. Pizza tastes good, fresh.
That's a view into the bag of the Crazy Bread.
Oh yeah, you can see all the butter, and kind of oil from that that's if you want with the Crazy Bread, though.
I always say, this type of stuff, "Good for the mind, bad for the body."
There it is. Crazy Bread stick...
and dipping sauce, too. Which the one thing I also like about them for the price, they're very liberal with the dipping sauce.
They give you a good amount of it, I'll tell you that.
This one's a little on the chewier side.
I don't mind if it's doughy, but you know, there's not a ton of resistance.
But this one just a little chewier than I'd like. That's why I said it's kind of hit-or-miss.
But...
It has a good amount of garlic butter on it at least, which is good.
And the sauce always kind of kind of spices it up.
These two though, the Crazy Bread and the sauce, they always go well together.
Always a good accompaniment.
I'd always just get the sauce anyway for the heck of it. Could even dip the pizza in the sauce if you want a little more.
It just works out.
But, just my thoughts on Little Caesar's.
Just having a Little Caesar's meal and kind of what I was talking about earlier, it met those expectations.
Really cheap, six bucks for this. No matter which way, you kind of see it. That's a good deal and...
And uh hey, here's a meal for the day, you know. It tastes pretty good, too.
Eating sequence concluded.
Well, that's all I have for you, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you enjoyed the video
You know, Little Caesar's, they're not a perfect company by any means.
They have their ups, they have their downs in terms of food quality.
Sometimes the service can be a little iffy.
I wish they did online ordering, which they don't.
But in the end, sometimes if you're looking for some cheap eats, especially pizza-wise,
Sometimes Little Caesar's is just where it's at.
That's all that I have to say about you there.
