Little Caesars Pizza — Restaurant in Chico

Love America 🇺🇸 let’s get that out of the way, but food franchises?, with rare exceptions, not so much. There was a time when fast food was so tasty one even bought t-shirts to let the word out. Must refrain from giving names, that is an absolute no no, pointing fingers and such, but sadly, or luckily, the reviews seem to tell the story. The stars help a lot too. Quality down, Price up. Combos close to $20, single items to $10, and what blows it out the window is how mediocre these foods are. Enter Little Caesar’s. I visited this brand 15 years ago. Pizza pizza was a great commercial, and back then this place was quite inexpensive, kind of like Spam but with pepperoni. Never in the category of great, but very much sought after by bargain seekers, which I’ll be the first to admit I like a good deal. Two impressionable women, good eaters from what I have observed, tell me excitedly about Little Caesars Hot Puffs commercial, oh this, oh that, like Quiche, Frittata, completely sold. So what dummy number one does? Went out and got 4 boxes, 4 in each box, one of the four boxes cost me more, but it included that marinara sauce that comes in very large containers, and that most likely is used across the board, like almost $6. Not a gourmet high, very mundane. The others cost $3.99. Oily morsels to say the least. Only two varieties: pepperoni, I only saw one inside of each, but I might need glasses 🤓 perhaps. The rest, dough and more dough, and spices, herbs, cheese but not easy to detect. Size of a mini muffin all. The other variety was herb and cheese? This location is the more kinder reviewed, with even a few 5 Stars, reviews dating 9 years ago, 7, what is really going on? 13 reviews from the past decade? I know Chico is small but please, who needs to read a pizza review 9 years old? Oh yes, there were a couple recent ones. In respect Google Maps has a staggering 570+ reviews. By the way, most big names fast foods are the same. 2 Stars is big time, very proud, thank you. What owner kicks back knowing that 2 Stars is a mediocre rating. Only if the money keeps coming, the rest is of no consequence. Hot Puffs, nice to have met you, have a nice shelf...

Ok, let's talk pizza. This is Little Caesars, with multiple locations located in Chico, CA. We've all seen the commercials on TV, and we all know the "Pizza Pizza" slogan. So, after that introduction...why beat a dead horse!? Well...increased prices demand a rating, and while I'm sorry it has to be me, it has to be somebody, right? Prices for a basic pepperoni, or cheese, have risen more than a $1, even more for the ultimate Supreme. Pictures included with this review show a lack of basic toppings, to the point of being sparse. I HAD to ask for more pepperoni on the 1st one they presented me (less than 12 pieces), and the Supreme was worse... but the wait time for another was going to be 1/2 hr, so I said no. It didn't used to be like this, but a combination of short supplies, no employees, and rising prices MAY cause more than a few closures IF they can't course-correct. The sauce was patchy and thin, crust was either too crispy OR too doughy, and toppings, again, sparse. If you want Pizza, please... order from a respected establishment, either Round Table, Celestino's, or Woodstock's. Even Mod Pizza or Papa Murphy's...

It's okay when you're buying something from Little Caesar but when you're asking them about their next door neighbor as far as the name of the laundromat they can't help you I called Little Caesar and ask one of the employees about the laundromat next door he said that his boss said he couldn't give out any information on the laundromat next door only if he knew this is how you keep business running by Word of Mouth and being polite to customers going the extra mile I'm quite sure the owner of the laundromat wouldn't do the same to him whoever hired him they need to fire him the manager of Little Caesar because he don't know the first thing about customer service if I'm washing my clothes at the laundromat of course I will be going to Little Caesar but now I know how rude they are I will not be there whoever is the owner of Little Caesar I hope you find a great manager with great customer service skills because that was not great customer service skills for people who just moved here to Chico California from out of...
