Budget friendly, reliable school-lunch style pizza dispensed in a cold, post-modern, almost dystopian, setting.
What more can you say about any Little Caesar's? Read along and I'll share some more...
My initial comment really says it all about Little Caesars. The pizza is what it is. The Detroit style seems kind of real and homemade but the others (standard and thin crust) feel like ordering pre-cooked frozen supermarket pizzas. However, at the price point of under $7.00 for a freshly prepared product that will feed multiple people, you can't go wrong. It is a bargain in today's world, but any standard.
What adds to the surreal, post-modern sense of dead is the automated, human-free experience you can have there... Not only at this location, but at all of them. I'll further explain...
See, you order and pay online from a small menu of set pizzas that generally cost between $6.00 and $10.00. You could always customize a pie as you like but it is more cost effective to order off the menu.
When you arrive at the restaurant, you go to a hot box/dispenser and put in the code provided via email. The automatic system opens the door holding your order, you grab it and leave. No human interaction required. The entire time, though, the dispenser is guiding you through the process in an overly cheery, pre-recorded human voice that is so enthusiastic that it is creepy... And human free.
It's a very Japanese style method of service that feels like something out of the film, Blade Runner.
At least a person puts it together and cooks it, I suppose... At least, I assume so.
Haha!
Is it really good pizza? Does it provide an amazing interpersonal experience? No on both counts.
Still, it would cost more to go to the store and cook my own frozen pizza than get one here. That's pretty amazing by any standard!
Little Caesar's. It is what it...

Read moreVery disappointed. On May 9th, I came to this location to order pizza for the aftercare students at the school where I work. I ordered and paid for 22 boxes of pizza ( 11 Emb cheese and 11 Emb pepperoni) for an event at the school on May 12th. I scheduled to pickup the pizza between 3pm -4pm. I talked to Sonali V., who was very professional, I must say. On May 11th ( Sunday), I called to confirm and was told that they had my information including the tax exemption and that I paid. On today, May 12th, I called again this morning to confirm again and ask if my daughter could pick up the pizza since I couldn't leave my students. I was told that would be fine since they had everything. At 3:20pm, I get a call from my daughter saying that they needed payment before making the pizza. I called the store myself and explain that I had already paid. They hung up the 1st time. I called again and explained the situation again and all of a sudden they find my information. They started making the pizza at 3:40pm which was a problem because when I first ordered on May 9th, I scheduled for the pickup to be between 3pm-4pm. Once the pizza was ready it was 4:20 and got to the school around 4:35. By then most of the students were leaving to go home. Many disappointed students who were waiting for pizza but...
