Little Caesars launches its first-ever value menu. See what's on it.

USA Today11-07-2025
As more restaurant chains revamp their meals and deals, Little Caesars is the latest to launch a value menu – the company's first-ever, the fast pizza chain says.
Called the "More for $9.99" menu, the online-only deal launched on July 7 and consists of a $9.99 combo that includes the brand's most popular items, such as Crazy Puffs and classic pizzas.
In a news release, Chief Marketing Officer Greg Hamilton called the value menu a "bold move that provides unbeatable variety and flavor at a price that speaks for itself."
Here's what to know about the deal and how to get it.
What's on Little Caesars' 'More for $9.99' menu?
Customers who buy from the value menu can choose among the following options for $9.99:
How to get the deal
The $9.99 menu is available online only, so customers must order via www.littlecaesars.com or through the company's mobile app. Customers cannot order from the $9.99 menu in stores.
Where are Little Caesars locations?
Little Caesars was founded in 1959 and is based in downtown Detroit. According to the company, the company has restaurants in each U.S. state, as well as 30 countries and territories.
Value meals on the rise
Little Caesars is just the latest restaurant to launch a value menu following a surge in the discounted meals in spring 2024. McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's were the first to announce deals in May 2024 after customers expressed concern about inflation and higher food prices.
McDonald's also extended its $5 Meal Deal, which first launched in June 2024.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index went up 2.4% from March 2024 to March 2025. Food prices increased 3% over a 12-month period ending in March 2025, the agency said.
Wth inflation ever-present, value meals have become a staple on some menus and like Little Caesars, some are still launching.

Trump feels squeeze from tariffs

Trump campaigned in 2024 on bringing down the cost of groceries and other staples, a message that resonated strongly with voters. More than six months into Trump's second term, however, the costs of groceries, and other essential goods, such as cars, have continued to rise, corresponding with a drop in Trump's job approval rating and a souring public view of Trump's handling of the economy. The cost of even 'cheap' eats has become fodder for debate on social media, as people grumble about everything from the price of McDonald's hash browns to Coca-Cola. The price of eggs has come down in recent months, but a dozen are still, on average, 64 cents more expensive than a year ago, while the price of chicken, ground beef and orange juice were more expensive last month compared to a year ago. While inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index has stabilized at 2.7 percent, policymakers fear the prices of goods and services could spike up again, which is a big reason the Federal Reserve is hesitant to cut interest rates, a major point of tension between Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Trump.

Trump smartly responds to brutal jobs report by firing the job numbers person

In the wake of a brutal report showing U.S. job growth slowing and unemployment rising, President Donald Trump did what any sensible leader would do: He fired the person responsible for the report. I applaud Trump's decision, part of his ongoing war with numbers he doesn't like. For far too long, Americans have allowed 'low' or 'bad' numbers – from grades to bank accounts to performance reviews – to dictate how they feel about themselves. Our bold president is changing that outdated form of thinking, instilling in all of us the belief that we can believe whatever we want to believe, ignoring dumb liberal concepts like 'facts,' 'numbers' and 'reality.' The Aug. 1 jobs report (allegedly) showed that employers added only 73,000 jobs in July. Also, as USA TODAY reported: 'Job gains for May and June were revised down by a whopping 258,000, portraying a much weaker labor market than believed in late spring and early summer.' Opinion: Trump brings back dreaded Presidential Fitness Test. Let's see him run a mile. How dare stupid 'numbers' throw a wrench in Trump's Golden Age I was specifically told by none other than President Trump that we are entering a Golden Age, that America is the 'hottest' country in the world, and our economy has never been better. So, like Trump, I choose to believe these numbers are not real, much like I choose to believe the numbers on my Marxist liberal bathroom scale are not real shortly before I throw it out the window. Opinion: Trump's mental decline is on vivid display as he rages about Epstein, windmills Hours after the jobs report was released, Trump threw Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner Erika McEntarfer metaphorically out the window, writing on Truth Social in a completely sane and rational manner: 'I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can't be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under 'TRUMP' despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting 'Kamala' elected – How did that work out? Jerome 'Too Late' Powell should also be put 'out to pasture.' Thank you for your attention to this matter!' I, for one, welcome Trump's era of only believing numbers that are good Those evidence-free claims make perfect sense and sound totally legit. It also does not seem at all hypocritical that the White House, in June, proudly boasted about BLS data showing core inflation holding steady. Those were good numbers, so the people distributing get them get to keep their jobs. Duh. It's high time American numbers and the people who use them recognize they will be held accountable for making President Trump look bad. (I'm looking at you, polling numbers.) The last thing our economy needs is a bunch of negative numbers accurately portraying the state of things. The Trump administration is all about positivity, and anyone who says otherwise will be fired IMMEDIATELY!

Zaxby's continues western expansion with new location opening this week

The opening of Zaxby's first-ever Arizona location is set for this week as the chain expands its new western footprint. It is part of Zaxby's plan to open dozens of locations across the nation this year, and it's the second recent Zaxby's opening in the Western United States, following the chain's first Las Vegas location that started serving in April. The location is set to open in the Phoenix area on Wednesday, Aug. 13. At a later Aug. 19 celebration, the store is promising free menu items for six months to the first 100 guests, Zaxby's said in a news release. Known for its chicken tenders and signature sauce, Zaxby's has a heavy presence across the Southeast in states like Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi, among others. But the chain has eyes on expansion, aiming to open its 1,000th new location in 2025, including its first restaurants in Nevada and Arizona.

Gantzel Road in San Tan Valley, a suburb of Phoenix. The new location spans 3,000 square feet and has 56 seats for dine-in guests, in addition to a dual drive-thru and curbside pickup door for faster service, the company said. Sharlene Smith, Chief Operating Officer at Zaxby's, thanked the owners of the latest location in the press release. "Thanks to the dedication of our franchise partners, Brian and Jessica Nelson, we're accelerating our growth out West and continuing to introduce the Zaxby's famous Fingerz and signature sauces to new fans across the country,' Smith said. On Aug. 19, nearly a week after the restaurant's opening, Smith will attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the location. Saleen Martin is a reporter on USA TODAY's NOW team.
