Little Caesars Announces Major Change to Menu
Little Caesars is doubling down on its reputation as the best value pizza chain by launching a nationwide "More for $9.99 Menu," packed with mix-and-match options to appeal to families, budget-conscious diners, and loyal fans. The new pricing platform, available exclusively online at participating locations, launched on July 7. It includes options that pair traditional favorites with newer items like the Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza and Crazy Puffs. The chain says each bundle includes at least two of its most popular menu items, with combinations ranging from two large classic pizzas, to a pretzel crust pizza with Crazy Bread and Crazy Sauce. This pricing strategy comes amid continued consumer sensitivity to inflation and rising fast food prices. Little Caesars is seeking to differentiate itself in a crowded marketplace where major rivals such as Domino's and Papa John's are also offering a variety of cost-saving deals. Little Caesars was ranked the fourth best pizza brand by industry magazine PMQ Pizza in its Pizza Power Report 2024, behind Domino's, Pizza Hut and Papa John's. According to a 2024 report by Datassential, a food and beverage market-research company, Little Caesars was named the most affordable restaurant chain in America. In the survey, 72 percent of diners rated it highly for affordability, outperforming other budget-centric chains like Freshii (65 percent), Papa Murphy's (64 percent), Cici's Pizza (62 percent), and Pollo Tropical (59 percent). Each combo offers at least two products from Little Caesars' lineup, including: Two large classic cheese or pepperoni pizzas (or one of each)One classic pepperoni pizza with Crazy PuffsThe new Fantastic Four-N-One Pizza paired with a Crazy Combo (Crazy Bread and Crazy Sauce)Pretzel Crust Pizza with a Crazy ComboA party pack of twelve Crazy Puffs, available in cheese, pepperoni, or a mix There are no minimum purchase requirements and no coupons needed.

Our new $9.99 menu is a bold move that provides unbeatable variety and flavor at a price that speaks for itself." With the menu only available through early August, it remains unclear whether Little Caesars plans to extend or expand the deal beyond the current promotional window. But its success could influence future strategy. Until July 31, Newsweek readers can vote for their favorite pizza chain in our Readers' Choice Awards. Winners will be announced on August 7.

Little Caesars To Enter Indian Market, First Outlet In Delhi NCR This June
American pizza chain Little Caesars is set to open its first outlet in India this June, starting operations in Delhi NCR. With this launch, the company enters its 30th global market. The fast-food chain, known for its 'Hot-N-Ready' pizzas, plans to expand its presence across India in the coming months. The menu for Indian outlets is expected to include a mix of the brand's standard offerings and locally adapted items. Paula Vissing, President of Global Retail at Little Caesars, called the India entry a "milestone" for the company. "We're anticipating introducing a unique menu that we believe will connect with Indian consumers," she said. The India operations will be managed by franchise partner Harnessing Harvest, a company with decades of experience in the domestic food and hospitality sector. The group is expected to adapt Little Caesars' standard model to fit local eating habits and preferences. According to the company, the Indian menu will be developed specifically for the market, incorporating regional flavours while maintaining the brand's focus on quick service and affordability. The move comes amid growing demand for international QSR brands in Indian cities, driven by shifting food habits and increasing disposable incomes. Little Caesars' entry follows recent expansions in countries like Cambodia and Kuwait. Established in 1959 in Detroit, Little Caesars is currently the world's third-largest pizza chain. It operates in all 50 US states and several international markets. The company is part of the Ilitch Companies portfolio and is known for features like the Pizza Portal self-service pickup station and products such as Crazy Bread and Crazy Puffs.
